Bravada Reacquires 100% of Highland Gold/Silver Project, Nevada; Initiates Permitting for 2021 Drilling at Big Hammer Target

Bravada Gold Corporation (TSXV: BVA) (FSE: BRTN) (OTCQB: BGAVF) (the "Company" or "Bravada") announces that it has reacquired 100% of the Highland goldsilver project after OceanaGold US Holdings Inc.

The 2020 Highland exploration program was funded by OceanaGold and consisted of limited field mapping, surface sampling for geochemical and clay-species data, and drilling two core holes at the Big Hammer Target. The drill holes were designed to explore for high-grade vein zones along several faults interpreted on a series of CSAMT geophysics lines collected during OceanaGold's 2019 exploration program at Highland. The cross-section above shows the four suspected faults (identified as F1 through F4) that were chosen for drill testing. Hole HL-1 tested an area covered by alluvial soil and confirmed faults F1 and F2; however, weak alteration and low-level gold and pathfinder geochemistry do not indicate proximity to significant gold mineralization where these faults were intersected.

In contrast, hole HL-2 intersected a series of faults at F3 with widespread low-temperature silica alteration in the upper portion of the hole along with pervasive anomalous gold (

President Joe Kizis commented, "Based on analogies with some known low-sulfidation deposits, the type of widespread alteration and geochemistry that we encountered at surface and in HL-2 may lie above high-grade gold veins by only a couple of hundred meters or less. We plan to complete hole HL-2 to test the originally targeted zone in F4, as well as to test F3 approximately 200m below the interval intersected in hole HL-2."

A permit is being prepared for submission to the BLM for the offset holes and, additionally, for a fence of holes to test possible extensions of the F3 and F4 faults approximately 500 meters to the south-southeast of HL-2, where alteration and anomalous gold (0.1 to 1.0g/t Au) occurs in samples of float and in samples from shallow historic drill holes. Drilling at Big Hammer is anticipated to begin in late Spring or early Summer 2021 depending on weather conditions.

About Bravada

Bravada is an exploration company with a portfolio of high-quality properties in Nevada, one of the best mining jurisdictions in the world. Bravada has successfully identified and advanced properties with the potential to host high-margin deposits while successfully attracting partners to fund later stages of project development. Two of Bravada's ten Nevada properties are being funded by partners. Bravada's value is underpinned by a substantial gold and silver resource with a positive PEA at Wind Mountain, and the Company has significant upside potential from possible new discoveries at its exploration properties.

Since 2005, the Company signed 32 earn-in joint-venture agreements for its properties with 19 publicly traded companies, as well as a similar number of property-acquisition agreements with private individuals. Bravada currently has 10 projects in its portfolio, consisting of 810 claims for approximately 6,500 ha in two of Nevada's most prolific gold trends. Most of the projects host encouraging drill intercepts of gold and already have drill targets developed.

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.
