Brilliant Mining Corp.: High Grade Massive Ni Sulphide Intersected on
Overturned Northern Limb Tramways Dome


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Oct. 29, 2007) - Brilliant Mining
Corp. (TSX VENTURE:BMC) ("Brilliant" or the "Company") today announced that
drilling has intersected high grade massive nickel sulphide on the overturned
northern flank of the Tramways Dome. Eight surface drill holes have now been
completed along the Northern Tramways Dome area at the Tramways Tenements,
host to the producing Lanfranchi Nickel Mine, located in the world class
Kambalda Nickel District of Western Australia. All eight holes appear to have
intersected overturned Kambalda Komatiite (ultramafic) sequences below Lunnon
(footwall) Basalts, supporting the Overturned Dome model structure at the
property. Drill hole TD8036 intersected 0.88m grading 7.76% Ni within the
overturned ultramafic sequence approximately 20 metres below the overturned
contact horizon.

Key Point Summary:

- Exploration north of the Lanfranchi Mine supports "Tramways Overturned Dome
Model" - ultramafic Komatiite intersected below the basalt sequence in all
eight recent drill holes

- 7.76% Ni over 0.88m (high-grade Ni massive sulphide) intersected within the
overturned ultramafic sequence approximately 20 metres below the overturned
contact horizon

- Geochemistry indicates Channel Facies ultramafic rocks; a similar setting as
host for the main Tramways' orebodies

- Drilling and down-hole EM surveying is ongoing

"The discovery of high grade massive nickel sulphide and signature ultramafic
channel facies geochemistry north of the existing mine workings is an
extremely positive advancement for the Tramways Overturned Dome model" states
John Williamson CEO of Brilliant Mining "and has significant ramifications for
the future potential of the property."

The drilling program currently underway is designed to test, by a combination
of drilling on 100 metre spaced sections and down-hole Electro Magnetic "EM"
surveys, a 1.5 kilometre wide section (389900mE to 391400mE) across the
overturned Tramways Dome area. Site geologists believe this region of the
Tramways Dome is most likely to contain the overturned continuation of the
Helmut/Deacon and Schmitz/Winner channel structures (See Figures 1 and 3)
which have provided the majority of nickel production for the Lanfranchi
Project in the past.

To date, two drill holes have intersected encouraging evidence of
mineralization on the northern side of the Tramways Dome.

- 7.76% Ni over 0.88m was intersected between 252.3-253.18 metres down hole in
drill hole TD8036 (section 390500mE) approximately 20 metres below the
overturned contact (See Figures 2 and 4); and

- 3.41% Ni over 1.0 metre was intersected between 79-80 metres down hole in
drill hole TD8030 (section 391000mE) on the normal facing contact (previously
released July 10, 2007)

While the mineralization in TD8030 was intersected on the normal facing basalt
ultramafic contact the mineralization in TD8036 was intersected within the
overturned ultramafic sequence approximately 20 metres from the contact
position. Geochemical analysis of holes TD8030, TD8031 and TD8036 has returned
favourable high MgO (30-40%), low Ti and Al signatures which are indicative of
channel facies ultramafics. The geochemical signature observed is similar to
the setting reported within the main Tramways channel structures that are host
to the Helmut/Deacon and Schmitz/Winner orebodies.

At this stage, the massive sulphide zone appears to be due to structural
re-mobilization processes. Such occurrences are not uncommon in Komatiite
complexes in and around Kambalda. The source of the Ni sulphide is commonly
considered and potentially due to the presence of a nearby larger body of
mineralisation. Such instances are observed at Tramways with the re-mobilized
4420 massive sulphide zone in close proximity to the Helmut - Helmut South
orebodies and the Skinner massive sulphide structure in relation to the
Schmitz orebody.

Multi-element analysis of the remaining holes is yet to be returned from the
laboratory. Figure 3 is a plan view of the recent drill hole locations
relative to the overturned ultramafic contact projected to surface.
