Trading Symbol: BZO-TSX.V

HOUSTON, May 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Brazauro Resources Corp. (TSX.V: BZO) today announced the renewal and publication of mineral exploration licenses comprising the Agua Branca Project being acquired under the previously disclosed Option Agreement from the Brazilian subsidiary of Talon Metals Corp TSX: TLO ("Talon").

Agua Branca consists of approximately 15,008 hectares of Exploration Licenses and is one of the largest and oldest alluvial and hard-rock garimpos, or informal mining camps, in the Tapajos region of Para State, Brazil. The property is accessible by road year-round and is located approximately 35 kilometers south of Brazauro's flagship Tocantinzinho (TZ) gold deposit in the well-known Tocantinzinho-Cuiu Cuiu gold belt. Like TZ, Agua Branca is located in the gold-fertile Parauari granite system.

Brazauro plans to carry out an initial soil-sampling program over Agua Branca Property targets in the second quarter of 2010, followed immediately by a comprehensive drilling program. A camp is in place and a team of professionals is now executing these development plans.

"We have completed planning our activities, and are very excited to enter the field and begin the work in earnest. The camp has all the amenities necessary to allow our technical team to quickly assess this property," said Elton Pereira, Brazauro's Vice President of Exploration. "Within the Agua Branca claim block, we have several important targets we will focus on. These include the Serra da Abelha area, a zone currently being exploited by shallow garimpo underground operations and where the hydrothermal and mineralization styles are very similar to Tocantinzinho."

Brazauro paid Talon an additional US$60,000 upon renewal of the Agua Branca Exploration Licenses by the Brazilian National Department of Mineral Production ("DNPM") which occurred on April 28, 2010. Two subsequent option payments of US$130,000 and US$1,870,000 are due on December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011, respectively. Brazauro has also committed to expend a minimum of US$500,000 in exploration activity per year for each of the first two years following renewal of the exploration licenses by DNPM, including at least 2,000 meters of diamond drilling in the first year. The development expenditure obligations are cumulative and aggregate against the overall US$1 million obligation. Talon retains a 2% net smelter royalty which Brazauro can purchase for US$2,000,000.

"Completion of this agreement is an important step forward in furthering the development of the Tapajos region as a significant gold mining district," said Brazauro Chairman and CEO Mark Jones III.
