BRALORNE UPDATES ASSAY RESULTS ON BK EAST RAISE AND REPORTS ON OTHER DEVELOPMENTS

BRALORNE GOLD MINES LTD. (the �Company�) is pleased to report updated results from raise development on the BK vein done to define the gold mineralized shoots above the 800 Level.  Two raises were driven up from the drift level to confirm the grade and limits of potentially economic mineralization encountered in two sections of the drift in 2008.  The eastern raise was driven a length of 29 meters (96 feet).  The western raise was driven a total of 36.5 meters (120 feet).

EASTERN RAISE
The eastern raise encountered significant mineralization from 8.5 meters (28 feet) to the top of the raise at 29 meters (96 ft).  Preliminary results from the on-site laboratory were previously released and have been revised based on check assays and check samples, with assays being done at Eco Tech Laboratory in Kamloops.   The revised grade of the vein from 11 assay traverses ranges from 2.78 to 60.7 g/T Au (0.081 to 1.77 oz/ton) with an average grade of 20.7 g/T Au (0.604 oz/ton) over a true width of 0.58 meters (1.9 feet).  The average grade of the zone over a nominal mining width of 1.2 meters (4 feet) is 11.9 g/T Au (0.348 oz/ton).



The revised grade is slightly lower than the preliminary estimate;  re-sampling and check assays by the metallic method done by Eco Tech Laboratories show lower results compared to high grade preliminary assays.  The difference is attributed to a significant nugget effect due to the mineralization containing coarse particulate gold. 

The vein at the top of the raise is well developed and in the last two sample traverses assayed 60.7 g/T over 0.6 meters and 45.7 g/T over 0.8 meters (1.77 oz/ton over 2.0 ft and 1.333 oz/ton over 2.5 ft).  This is very encouraging because previous results from underground drilling indicated low grade in this vicinity.

Underground chip and muck samples are collected by employees of the company and preliminary assays are performed by employees at the on-site assay laboratory.  Normal fire assay procedures are followed using 1 assay ton charges.  Repeat analyses and/or metallic screen assays are routinely performed on high grade samples.  Check sample pulps and rejects are submitted to Eco Tech Laboratories in Kamloops for verification.  Assay results for the western raise are pending verification.

OTHER DEVELOPMENT

BK VEIN
Work is continuing on the BK vein on the 800 level with development of an extraction drift and drawpoints.

400 LEVEL ADIT
As January 29, 2010 a total of 204 meters (670 feet) of development has been done on the new 400 Level adit since it was started in early  November, 2009.  The work includes trackless drift to provide access to the Bralorne mine 400 Level, sub-drifting on a newly discovered vein, a diamond drill cut-out and safety bays.  The drift is now 153 meters (503 ft) from the portal and is targeted to break through to the 400 Level in late February.   Plans are to install track once the breakthrough is achieved.  A Notice of Work has been filed to conduct exploration drifting and raising on the Taylor and 51BFW veins on the 400 Level.

NORTH VEIN
The North vein in the former King mine has also been selected as another target for underground exploration.  Plans are being made to drive a sublevel and raises on this vein to explore a historic resource block estimated at 10,900 tonnes grading 11.0 g/T Au over 1.2 meters (12,000 tons grading 0.321 oz/ton Au over 4 ft).  Note that due to its historical nature, this resource is not compliant with NI 43-101 and its potential quantity and grade are deemed conceptual in nature.  There has been insufficient exploration to define the mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in confirmation of the resource.
