Kinross Expands Bravada Gold's Baxter Gold-Silver Property

Bravada Gold Corp. (TSXV:BVA) announced that it’s received data from work completed by Kinross Gold USA Inc. at its Nevada-based Baxter gold-silver property. The property is now made up of 240 unpatented lode claims covering about 1,940 hectares.
Kinross Gold USA is a subsidiary of Kinross Gold Corp. (TSX:K,NYSE:KGC).
As quoted in the press release:

Kinross’ program consisted of adding 188 mining claims, mapping, rock-chip and soil sampling over the newly expanded claim block, conducting detailed ground gravity and air-borne magnetics/radiometrics over the entire claim block, and conducting mineralogy studies to identify clay and other alteration products in surface and drill chips.
In addition to verifying local high-grade concentrations of gold in grab samples from several veins, specific target areas were identified for drill testing. Five samples contain 10.1 to 43.7g/t Au of the 92 samples of vein, dump material, and wall rock that were collected. The remaining samples assay in the range of less than detection limits to 7.8g/t Au. Sites are being permitted with the Bureau of Land Management; however, specific details and timing for drilling have not been finalized.
Kinross has the option to earn a 60% interest in the property by spending $2.0 million over five years and it can earn an additional 15% interest by spending an additional $2 million on exploration and development expenses over two additional years. Upon Kinross completing its earn-in, Bravada may contribute to expenditures at its percentage of interest or be diluted. Should Bravada’s working interest reduce below 10%, Bravada would convert its working interest to a 1% NSR royalty (see NR-01-15 dated February 3, 2015).

Joe Kizis, president of Bravada Gold, commented:

Kinross has done excellent work advancing the Baxter property through further geological, geochemical, and geophysical investigations. We look forward to Kinross drill testing the new targets.
