BRS Resources Provides Operational Update

DALLAS, TX -- (Marketwired) -- 04/18/13 -- BRS Resources (TSX VENTURE: BRS) ("BRS" or the "Company"), an upstream oil and gas exploration company focused on the Mediterranean region and in particular onshore Italy, is pleased to provide an update on its ongoing activities. BRS owns a membership interest in AleAnna Resources ("AleAnna"), one of the largest independent oil and gas exploration and production companies operating in Italy. AleAnna has built a presence in Italy with eight exploration permits and three permit applications in the Po Valley and Bradano basins, encompassing a total of 804,000 acres.

AleAnna has now completed three 3D seismic surveys covering portions of three permit areas in the eastern Po Valley. With surveys covering more than 87,000 acres (353 sq km), AleAnna is the leading onshore company in Italy in gathering, processing and interpreting 3D seismic data using advanced geophysical technologies. This data has identified numerous drillable prospects and leads with excellent reserve potential and compelling expected economics.

Last month, AleAnna exhibited five of these prospects to potential partners at the APPEX show in London with very favorable response from viewers. AleAnna management believes that the addition of substantial working-interest partners could accelerate exploration efforts. Subsequently, AleAnna has initiated dialogues with a number of interested companies. Further, AleAnna remains in discussions with other Italian operators about participation in their wells, some of which are expected to begin drilling in the second and third quarters of 2013. AleAnna is currently filing two drilling permits -- one in its Ponte dei Grilli permit area and other in its Ponte del Diavolo permit area.

In other news, the Company announces that James Wicklund has resigned as a director of the Company effective as of February 13, 2013. The Board of Directors of the Company thanks Mr. Wicklund for his contribution and service to the Company and wishes him well in future endeavors. Currently the Company does not have plans to replace Mr. Wicklund.
