NEWS RELEASEArbitration Panel Issues Declaration that Goldbrook entitled to 25% Interest in Nunavik Nickel ProjectVancouver, British Columbia ? As Goldbrook Ventures Inc. (?Goldbrook") announced on October 20, 2010, Goldbrook commenced an arbitration (the ?Arbitration?) pursuant to the Shareholder, Joint Bid and Operating Agreement between Jilin Jien Nickel Industry Co., Ltd., Jien International Investment Ltd. and Jien Canada Mining Ltd., dated August 6, 2009 (the ?Shareholders Agreement?) against Jilin Jien Nickel Industry Co., Ltd. and its affiliates ("Jilin Jien").

The Arbitration was in respect of Jilin Jien's purported issuance of 494 voting common shares of Jien Canada Mining Ltd. ("Jien Canada") that would reduce Goldbrook's percentage of voting shares, and consequently Goldbrook's interest in the Nunavik Nickel Project, from 25% to 4.21% (the ?Dilution?). Today the Arbitration Tribunal issued a partial final award in respect of the Arbitration.

The Arbitration Tribunal found that Goldbrook is entitled under the Shareholders Agreement to be the holder of 25% of the voting shares of Jien Canada and that the issuance of 494 voting shares that would have effected the Dilution was not authorized by, and was contrary to, the Shareholders Agreement.

The Tribunal further directed that if Goldbrook intends to seek an award directing the steps to be taken to restore its 25% shareholding beyond the declarations made in the Award that the Tribunal requires submissions from the parties on that issue. The Tribunal has reserved its jurisdiction to decide all matters relating to costs until any further submissions have been made.

Goldbrook intends to pursue any further steps necessary in order to restore its 25% interest in the

Nunavik Nickel Project.
