Bravada Completes 13 Resource In-fill Holes & 4 Exploration Holes at the Feeder Target - Wind Mountain Au/Ag Project, Nevada

 

Bravada Gold Corporation (TSXV: BVA) (FSE: BRTN) (OTCQB: BGAVF) (the "Company" or "Bravada") has completed the announced reverse-circulation drilling program at the Company's wholly owned Wind Mountain AuAg Project in northwestern Nevada. The program totaled 2,186.8 metres and consisted of two separate components:

 
  1. In-filling drilling portions of the existing oxide resource where shallow, higher-than-average gold and silver grades are expected. A total of 13 holes (1,324.3 metres) were completed, and drill samples are at the assay lab with assays expected in 3-5 weeks. The Company is re-assessing the shallow and oxidized, disseminated gold and silver resource at Wind Mountain, beginning with the now-completed in-fill drilling in an area that could evolve into a Phase I starter pit. The goal is to complete an update to the resource and PEA by Q1 2022.

  2.  
  3. Completing next-stage exploration drilling at the Feeder Target by offsetting the vein zone encountered in hole WM20-102, which intersected 1.5 metres of 4.5g/t Au-eq (0.404g/t Au and 269.0g/t Ag) within a thicker interval of quartz veining with anomalous gold and silver mineralization. Three of the holes offset the WM20-102 vein zone below and a short distance along possible strike to determine its orientation. A fourth hole was added to the planned program to test the on-strike projection of the vein zone approximately 400m along strike to the northeast. All four holes, totaling 862.5 metres, intersected quartz veining below the elevation of the WM20-102 intercept, and all encountered encouraging vein textures ranging from delicate banding to strong hydrothermal brecciation, and with some chips exhibiting quartz-after-calcite boiling texture. Samples have been delivered to the assay lab and analyses are expected in 6-8 weeks.

President Joe Kizis commented, "Our geological model for a feeder vein at Wind Mountain appears to be generally correct based on the vein textures noted above and silica mineralogy transitioning from lower temperature chalcedony high in the holes to higher temperature quartz lower in the recent drill holes; however, we will be anxiously awaiting assays to determine any economic significance. After verifying the likely orientation of the vein zone with the first three drill holes, we took a rather large step-out to assess continuity of the covered vein zone along its projection. The fourth hole is approximately 400m to the northeast of WM20-102 and approximately 250m southwest of a shallow, historic 'condemnation' drill hole that intersected strongly anomalous gold and silver at a shallow depth along projection of the WM20-102 vein zone."

 

About Wind Mountain

 

The Wind Mountain Property is in northwestern Nevada approximately 160km northeast of Reno in a sparsely populated region with excellent logistics, including county-maintained road access and a power line to the property. It is an historic past-producing, bulk-tonnage gold-silver mine. An independent resource estimate and Preliminary Economic Evaluation for Wind Mountain commissioned by Bravada in 2012 reported:

 
  • 570,000 ounces of gold and 14.7 million ounces of silver in the Indicated category, and
  •  
  • 354,000 ounces of gold and 10.1 million ounces of silver in the Inferred category.
  •  

See the table below and news release NR-06-12 dated April 11, 2012 for details of the resource update. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred resources are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be classified as mineral reserves. There is no assurance that any part of the resources will ultimately be converted to mineral reserves.

Mine Development Associates compiled the Technical Report and PEA. Thomas Dyer, P.E. is a Senior Engineer for MDA and is responsible for sections of the Technical Report involving mine designs and the economic evaluation, and Steven Ristorcelli, C.P.G., is a Principal Geologist for MDA and is responsible for the sections involving the Mineral Resource estimate. These are the Qualified Persons of the technical report for the purpose of Canadian NI 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Economic Analyses of Mineral Projects. Details of the PEA produced by Mine Development Associates (MDA) of Reno can be found on SEDAR, as previously reported (see NR-07-12 dated May 1, 2012). Note that although the PEA was encouraging, it is preliminary in nature, it includes Inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves, and there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized.

Top 5 Australian Mining Stocks This Week: Yandal Shares Double on Arrakis Drilling Results

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly round-up of Australia’s top-performing mining stocks on the ASX, starting with news in Australia's resource sector.

This week's top-performing stocks list is dominated by oil and gas companies, alongside gold and lithium companies.

In Australian mining news, the Fair Work Commission ruled that BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) must raise the wages of 2,200 workers at three coal mines in Queensland. The workers in question were employed indirectly through a hiring firm and were being paid significantly less than their peers working directly under BHP.

The case was brought by two worker's unions and based on the Same Job, Same Pay reforms made by the government last year. To align wages, the FWC ruled BHP must raise the labour hire employees' wages by AU$30,000 each.

Pilbara 2.0: Inside Australia’s Newest Gold Frontier

The Central Pilbara region of Western Australia is undergoing a quiet revolution that is rapidly reshaping the global gold exploration landscape.

Once dismissed as a technically challenging and geologically inconsistent terrain, Pilbara is now emerging as one of the world’s most exciting new gold frontiers and drawing serious attention from institutional investors, driven by transformative discoveries, a maturing geological model and a wave of junior explorers tapping into underexplored intrusive-hosted systems.

Anchored by the multimillion-ounce Hemi discovery — one of the most significant gold finds in Australia in over a decade — this region is not just proving its geological potential, but also demonstrating the kind of scale, consistency and margin profile that modern gold investors seek. As the discovery window remains wide open and valuations are still accessible, the Central Pilbara presents a rare opportunity for early exposure to what may become one of Australia’s next tier-one gold districts.

Is Australia on the Brink of a New Mining Super Cycle?

Mining remains as a cornerstone of Australia’s GDP and export earnings, but current global challenges such as trade disputes and price changes may be straining its foundations.

A recent FocusEconomics report tackled Australia’s resource wealth, tracing from the gold rushes of the 1850s to the iron ore and coal booms of the 21st century.
