TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 01/15/13 -- Braeval Mining Corporation (TSX: BVL) ("Braeval Mining" or the "Company") is pleased to provide details of its 2013 Exploration plans at the Snow Mine Project (2,643 Ha) in the South of Bolivar, Colombia and on the other properties in Mexico, Peru, Nicaragua and Honduras.

Braeval Mining Corporation Exploration Plan:

Snow Mine

The Company's 2013 exploration plan at the Snow Mine Project is to drill approximately 6,000 m with one drill on each of the Las Nieves and Casa de Barro structures.

The focus of the drilling will be to expand the known mineralization from surface to depth along the Las Nieves and Casa de Barro veins. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company is expecting to complete at least 10 holes totalling approximately 1800 m. These two mineralized veins vary between 2 to 8 meters in width and have been mapped over 2.95 km on surface.

The Company is also conducting systematic sampling in the underground artisanal tunnels in order to better understand the behaviour of the veins.

The underground program is expected to be completed by the beginning of the second quarter of 2013, with the results of sampling to be disclosed shortly thereafter. With the underground sampling, the Company expects to be able to model the different tunnels and their grades to further understand the system.


Other properties

In Mexico the Company holds an option for the 546.7 ha Guaynopa gold-skarn project, and in Peru the Company has staked 25,090 ha and has optioned two additional projects, Arcopunco (595 ha) and Terciopelo (4,200 ha). During the first quarter of 2013, the Company intends to prepare NI-43-101 reports for both properties.

In addition, the Company has applied for a total of 464,373 ha of mineral concessions in Nicaragua, and 170,500 ha of mineral concessions in Honduras. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company expects to have the mineral concessions in Nicaragua granted.

Scientific and technical information in this press release has been reviewed by Gernot Wober P.Geo., the Vice President, Exploration of the Company and a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101.
