Brilliant Sands Inc. Initiates Exploration Program at Its McClelland Lake Frac Sand Property in Alberta

RENO, Nevada - January 28, 2015 - (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Brilliant Sands Inc. (“BSI” or the “Company”) (formerly Consolidated Goldfields Corporation: CDGF) is pleased to announce it has initiated a comprehensive exploration program at its McClelland Lake frac sand project in Alberta, Canada. The Company considers McClelland its highest priority and most advanced project within the frac sand portfolio that was recently acquired from 1824455 Alberta Ltd. BSI is in the process of compiling a comprehensive technical database and plans to begin field work this coming spring. In addition, the Company will soon be preparing and announcing exploration plans for its other new properties.


About Frac Sand

Frac sand is a specific type, size and shape of high purity silica sand that is crush-resistant under the high pressures as encountered in oil and gas wells. This high quality sand is used in the hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) of tight, non-permeable, hydrocarbon-bearing basin rocks that are typically composed of shale. The United States is the world leader in this innovative process, and as a result, is now virtually oil self-sufficient and a prolific natural gas producer.

Even with the recent downturn in oil prices, the average increase from 850 tons per well to over 2000 tons per well has resulted in little, if any, reduction in the demand for frac sand. North American frac sand demand has risen from $250 million in 2002 to nearly $5 billion in 2012. Overall, North American demand is projected to reach over 100 billion pounds by the year 2017, with a projected value of $9.4 billion.

Property Location, Accessibility and Infrastructure - The McClelland Lake frac sand project is located approximately 95 km northeast of Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada, the industrial hub of the world-renowned Athabasca oil sands district. The disposition itself consists of three Alberta Metallic and Industrial Mineral Permits encompassing a total area of 65,789 acres (26,624 hectares), which are well situated geographically between Athabasca Minerals' (TSX-V: ABM.V) Firebag Frac Sand Project and Declan Resources' (TSX-V: LAN) Firebag River silica sand discovery. Athabasca recently announced a 43-101 compliant inferred resource of 44 million tonnes of frac sand, and is in the process of completing a Preliminary Economic Assessment.

Accessibility and supporting infrastructure are excellent. Fort McMurray is accessible by paved highway and is well-served by regularly scheduled commercial flights from several Canadian international airports, including Edmonton and Calgary. An all-weather road extends from Fort McMurray to within 10 km of the western edge of property, in turn connecting to an extensive network of existing 'bush roads', cut lines and ATV trails which cover a significant portion of the property. Future development potential is enhanced by the presence of an existing 72 kilovolt transmission line which crosses the northwest block of the property and existing industrial-scale railhead at Fort McMurray.

Geology and Preliminary Results - Given the favorable geographic location of the McClelland Property, there are two potential frac sand deposit types under investigation: the first being Quaternary-aged glaciofluvial and eolian sand deposits of a type similar to that discovered by Athabasca Minerals; and the second consisting of Cretaceous-aged sandstones of the McMurray Formation, analogous to that reported by Declan Resources.

A preliminary field reconnaissance of northwestern portions of the property in 2014 confirmed the presence of silica-rich sands of glaciofluvial origin. Samples collected during reconnaissance were submitted to Loring Labs of Calgary, Alberta, Canada for analysis, which indicated very favorable results remarkably similar to those reported for Athabasca's frac sand deposit that lies only a few miles to the northwest of the sampled area. Based upon the encouraging results of the reconnaissance program; a comprehensive exploration plan has been initiated, details of which will follow in a subsequent news release.
