BRILLIANT REVISES PRIVATE PLACEMENT TERMS

Vancouver, B.C. - Brilliant Mining Corp. (TSX.V: BMC - the "Company") announces the following changes to the private placement previously announced on March 6, 2006.  The Company will be completing the private placement by initially issuing 12,501,000 subscription receipts at a price of $0.80 per subscription receipt, which subscription receipts are exchangeable into units (the "Units") of the Company, provided certain release conditions are satisfied on or before June 30, 2006.  Upon the exchange of the subscription receipts, the Company will issue up to 12,501,000 Units, with each Unit consisting of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"), for gross proceeds of up to $10,000,800.  Each Warrant will be exercisable into one common share for two years from the closing date at a price of $1.05. The Company has also increased the number of Units available to the agents pursuant to the over-allotment option exercisable at any time prior to the closing of the private placement, to up to an additional 2,500,200 Units.

The gross proceeds of the sale of the subscription receipts will be held in escrow pending the satisfaction of certain release conditions pertaining to the Company completing its proposed acquisition of Donegal Resources Pty Ltd, which holds a 25% interest in the Lanfranchi Joint Venture, host to the producing Lanfranchi Nickel Mine, in Western Australia.  This proposed acquisition was announced February 6, 2006.  Upon satisfaction of the release conditions, the subscription receipts will be deemed exercised into Units, and the Company will receive the proceeds net of agents' fees.  If the release conditions are not satisfied on or before June 30, 2006, all purchasers of Subscription Receipts will have the option to have their Subscription Receipts repurchased by the Company or exchanged into Units.

All other terms of the private placement are the same as previously announced.
