HOUSTON, TX, June 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Brazauro Resources Corp. (TSX.V: BZO) today announced it has initiated exploration drilling at its Agua Branca Project, 35 kilometers south of Brazauro's flagship Tocantinzinho gold deposit in the Tocantinzinho-Cuiu Cuiu gold belt.

The Company now has a drill on site at Agua Branca and plans to complete approximately 2000 meters of drilling over the next six to eight weeks to confirm a number of targets identified by recent geochemical sampling.

Agua Branca consists of approximately 15,008 hectares of Exploration Licenses accessible by road year-round and is one of the largest and oldest alluvial and hard-rock garimpos, or informal mining camps, in the Tapajós region of Para State, Brazil.

"We are encouraged to have reached this important milestone in the development of a promising property," said Brazauro Chairman and CEO Mark Jones III.

Agua Branca, as well as the Tocantinzinho and Piranhas properties, are included in the premium offer to acquire Brazauro by Eldorado Gold Corporation (TSX:ELD, AMEX:EGO) announced on May 12, 2010.
