Jean-Jacques Treyvaud, President and CEO of Murray Brook Minerals Inc. (MBM), is pleased to announce that the Company has acquired the Legacy Copper Deposit, located in the Western part of the world renown Bathurst Mining Camp, New Brunswick, Canada.

The Legacy Deposit consists of four blocks of claims, Nos. 6202, 6203, 6204 and 5443 in which the actual deposit is found.

The Legacy Deposit was discovered in 1968 by Copperfields Mining Corporation, a division of Cominco Resources Inc. From 1968 to 1970, Copperfields completed a geophysical survey, soil geochemistry, trenching and mapping of the Deposit and drilled 40 holes totalling 7,005 meters.

These works resulted in an historical indicated resource of 440,000 tons grading 1.7% Copper and 0.3 g/t Ag.

The Legacy Deposit was then optioned by several companies, including Silver Leader Mines, who drilled 25 additional holes for a total of 10,653 meters. The 1977 drilling campaign successfully extended the mineralized zone laterally, and substantially increasing the grade and tonnage obtained by Copperfields.

The Property then reverted to its former owner, Raoul Legacy, and was further transferred to a group of prospectors from Bathurst.

Murray Brook Minerals Inc. acquired from them 100% interest in the Legacy Deposit for an undisclosed amount of cash and shares of Murray Brook Minerals Inc. A 2% NSR on the future potential production will be retained by the Bathurst group of prospectors.

The Legacy Copper Deposit lies in an area underlain dominantly by a Northeast trending series of steep dipping late Upper Ordovician to Early Silurian sediments of the White Head formation. The sediments have been intruded by swarms of Devonian granodiorites and orthoclase feldspar porphyry dikes and sills.

Mineralization at the Legacy Deposit consists of Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag-Au sulphides that occur in several parallel bands or lenses as fractures filling, replacement laminae and disseminations within the fractured and silicified Late Ordovician limestone. The limestone is intruded by quartz-feldspar porphyry dikes transformed into copper skarns.

A poly pole-dipole IP resistivity survey was conducted on the property in September 2009. The survey identified a continuation of the Legacy Copper Deposit raking in a North-Northeast direction.

Murray Brook Minerals Inc. plans to update, as early as Spring 2012, the numerous historical data pertaining to the Legacy Copper Deposit into a NI-43 101 Technical Report and Resources Calculation format by performing an extensive review of the available data, including the historical resources estimates.
