Brigus Gold Revises Project Debt Facility Agreement with Its Banks

Brigus Gold Corp. ('Brigus Gold? or the 'Company?) (TSX: BRD)(NYSE Amex:
BRD) announces that it has revised its Project Facility Agreement
('Project Debt?) with its original lenders, Macquarie Bank Limited
('Macquarie?) and RMB Australia Holdings Limited ('RMB?) and provides
the following update of the current Project Debt. All dollar amounts in
this news release refer to U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted.

On October 20, 2010, using proceeds from the October 2010 equity
financing of Cdn$51.75 million, Brigus Gold repaid $20.7 million of the
Project Debt owed to Macquarie and RMB, resulting in a balance of $21.1
million, of which $14.1 million was owed to Macquarie and $7.0 million
to RMB.

The Company has now consolidated its Project Debt with RMB as the one
remaining lender. The Company has increased the debt owed to RMB from
$7.0 million to $22.0 million, and repaid the full amount owed to
Macquarie of $14.1 million. Thus, Macquarie is no longer a participant
in the Project Debt.

The terms of the Project Facility Agreement remain unchanged, including
the interest on the Project Debt at a rate of LIBOR plus 7% per annum,
payable monthly. The principal of $22.0 million will be repaid in
quarterly payments beginning June 30, 2011 at approximately $3.7 million
per quarter with the final payment due on September 30, 2012. The
Project Debt was originally entered into by the parties in early 2009
and provided a significant portion of the capital used to build the
Black Fox Mine and Mill.

As previously announced in the Company′s November 16, 2010 news release,
Brigus Gold generated $7.1 million in operating income for the third
quarter of 2010. The Company also achieved its best quarter of overall
operational results from its wholly owned and operated Black Fox Mine
and Mill since commencement of production in May 2009. The mill produced
21,526 ounces of gold (19,265 ounces of gold sold) at total cash costs
per ounce sold of $440 during the third quarter of 2010.

As an unhedged gold producer with no gold derivative positions beginning
in 2011 and a rising production profile, Brigus Gold expects to achieve
increased cash flow from operations going forward.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The term 'total cash cost? is a non-GAAP financial measure and is used
on a per ounce of gold basis. Total cash cost is equivalent to direct
operating cost as found on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and
includes by-product credits for payable silver production. We have
included total cash cost information to provide investors with
information about the cost structure of our mining operations. This
information differs from measures of performance determined in
accordance with GAAP in the United States and Canada and should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance
prepared in accordance with GAAP. This measure is not necessarily
indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as
determined under GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures of other companies.
