Brookwater Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE: BW.H) ("Brookwater" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that it has now signed the Definitive Share Exchange Agreement (the "Agreement") to acquire 100 per cent of the issued and outstanding shares of Agua Grande Exploracao e Producao de Petroleo Ltda, a private limited Brazilian company ("Agua Grande"). Pursuant to the Agreement, on closing, the Company will issue 13,250,000 common shares (the "Consideration Shares") of the Company to the shareholders of Agua Grande. Upon closing, an additional 20,140,000 common shares of the Company will be issued pursuant to the conversion of the Agua Grande convertible debenture in the amount of $5,035,000.

Agua Grande is a party to a Farm-Out Agreement dated November 25, 2010 with Somoil Internacional de Petroleo Ltda. and Sonangol Starfish, pursuant to which Agua Grande has the right, subject to the approval of the Brazilian National Petroleum Agency ("ANP"), to acquire an undivided 30% interest in an oil & gas exploration concession (Block REC-T-166) located in the Reconcavo Basin in Brazil (the "Concession"). It is anticipated that ANP's decision will be brought forward at an ANP boarding meeting scheduled to be conducted in the beginning of May 2011.

As part of the planned change of business, the Company has previously closed the non-brokered private placement announced on December 21, 2010. The aggregate gross proceeds of $1,500,000 are being held in escrow pending completion of the acquisition of Agua Grande. The outstanding subscription receipts currently provide that if the Acquisition is not completed by April 30, 2011, each subscriber will receive a full refund of such subscriber's aggregate subscription funds. The Company is seeking the consent of its current investors to extend this deadline until May 31, 2011, in light of the timing of the upcoming ANP meeting.

The Acquisition will constitute a Change of Business under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), and will result in the graduation of the Company from NEX to the Exchange. Completion of the Acquisition is subject to a number of conditions, including Exchange acceptance and shareholder approval. The transaction cannot close until the required shareholder approval is obtained. There can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.

Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the Filing Statement to be prepared in connection with the transaction with Agua Grande, any information released or received with respect to the Change of Business may not be accurate or complete and should not be relied upon. Trading in securities of Brookwater should be considered highly speculative. Trading will remain halted pending further regulatory filings with the Exchange.

The TSX Venture Exchange has in no way passed upon the merits of the proposed transaction with Agua Grande and has neither approved nor disapproved the contents of this press release.
