Braeval Mining Corporation Terminates Option Agreements at Snow Mine Property in Colombia and Refocuses on Other Exploration Projects

TORONTO, Jul 23, 2013 - Braeval Mining Corporation (TSX:BVL) ("Braeval Mining" or the "Company") announces that it has given cancellation notice to the respective owners of the titles covering the Snow Mine property in Colombia. The Company is cancelling the option agreements due to unfavourable market conditions, and plans to refocus its efforts on its other projects.

The Snow Mine Property, comprised of four adjacent concession contracts totalling 2,643.23 ha, was held under four separate option-to-purchase agreements between the Corporation's 100%-owned subsidiary, Inversiones Cummings SAS, and four separate groups of titleholders. The concession contracts included LSB-06 (Las Nieves, 36 ha), EB-0007 (Casa de Barro, 200 ha), S-0551 (Mina Seca, 1,526.91 ha), and JIM-08591 (La Nevera, 880.32 ha).

Exploration activities at Braeval's other projects are unaffected by this decision and will continue as planned.
