Brazauro Releases Initial Geochemical Soil Sampling Results for Agua Branca Property in Brazil

Exploration Results Extend Previous Geochemical Trends and Develops An Additional Target Within the Tocantinzinho Trend

Trading Symbol: BZO-TSX.V

HOUSTON, May 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Brazauro Resources Corp. (TSX.V: BZO) today announced the initial results obtained from a series of geochemical soil samples from the recently optioned Agua Branca property, adjacent to the Company's flagship Tocantinzinho ("TZ") deposit in the Tapajos region of Para State, Brazil.

Results obtained by Brazauro's sampling have extended to the northwest an open soil anomaly identified by the previous owner, which had drilled six diamond holes showing hydrothermal alteration and mineralization very similar to Tocantinzinho. This north-westerly trending soil geochemistry anomaly extends more than 1,000 meters with values ranging between 100 ppb and 600 ppb gold. Brazauro plans an initial 2,000-meter drilling program to investigate this soil anomaly and scheduled to start in mid-May 2010.

As previously announced by Brazauro, the addition of Agua Branca to its portfolio of exploration and development properties in Brazil's Tapajos region, confirms the prospectivity of this area.

"The strong similarities between the mineralized, hydrothermally altered, granitic rocks associated with the newly discovered TZ deposit and core from previously drilled holes into the Agua Branca anomaly, together with the NW-SE alignment of both occurrences, indicate a potential for a TZ-like deposit at Agua Branca," said Leendert Krol, Director and Chief Technical Advisor for Brazauro.
