Bravada Reports Assays for 7 of 13 Resource In-Fill/Expansion Holes, Wind Mountain Au/Ag Project, Nevada

Bravada Gold Corporation (TSXV: BVA) (FSE: BRTN) (OTCQB: BGAVF) (the "Company" or "Bravada") reports assays for the first batch of seven In-fill and Expansion reverse-circulation holes drilled at the Company's wholly owned Wind Mountain AuAg Project in northwestern Nevada. The recently completed program totaled 17 holes (2,186.8 metres) and consisted of: a) 13 holes (1,324.3 metres) into under-drilled portions of and potential extensions of the existing oxide resource near the Breeze open pit where shallow, higher-than-average gold and silver grades are expected based on geologic projections, and b) four holes (862.5 metres) at the Feeder Target to offset a vein zone encountered in hole WM20-102, which intersected 1.5 metres of 4.5gt Au-eq (0.404gt Au and 269.0gt Ag) within a thicker interval of quartz veining with anomalous gold and silver mineralization.

1) Drill intervals of 20 feet or greater averaging greater than or equal to 0.300ppm Au or 0.150 ppm Au-eq as potentially above cut-off grade in open pit/heap leach in Nv.
2) R.C. drilling with entire sample crushed & puverized to create a 500-gram pulp with 30-gm FA/AAS for Au & 0.5gm ICP for Ag.
3) True thickesses not known, but expected to be ~70% or greater.
4) Caution: Ag recovery is highly variable in oxidized mineralization, thus 70:1 (Ag:Au) metal-price ratio for Au-eq probably significantly over estimates Au-eq for evaluating economics but useful for zoning. Tests needed to evaluate recovery variation by crush size, grade, etc.
5) Rounding errors converting from footages explain conflicts in intervals for metric intervals.

President Joe Kizis commented, "The purpose of this drill program was to validate our belief in the extension of the gold oxide resource in areas which were not mined when the property was in production by its previous owner. The geologic model for the shallow, oxide gold resource is validated, based on assay results from the first batch of drill results. The holes generally contain thicker and stronger gold and silver mineralization than projected into those areas for the 2012 Independent Resource Estimate, which was based on insufficient drilling available in 2012 for these areas and were thus given low or no resource estimates.

Holes WM21-108 and -109 are particularly exciting because they expand an area with similarly strong assays in nearby historic drill holes, suggesting the area is a possible up-welling zone from a feeder vein system at depth, which we will evaluate further via 3D modeling and possibly follow-up drilling later this year with the intention to obtain a current independent resource calculation of the expanded oxide gold resource of the property."

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.

John Ciampaglia: Gold's "Extreme" Run — Price Drivers and What's Next

John Ciampaglia, CEO of Sprott Asset Management, shares his outlook for the gold price.

"To us, gold could continue to rally here. It's going to be volatile — we see all these days of plus US$100, down US$100. So you have to be kind of careful you don't get overly whipsawed around," he said.

Are We in a Recession? Predictions, Signs and Strategies

"Never miss out on an opportunity like a recession" — Jack Welch, former chairman and CEO of General Electric.

US President Donald Trump’s plans to overhaul the current global trade structure through sweeping tariffs have once again ignited recession fears. With both businesses and consumers considering pulling back on spending if costs rise, many economists are forecasting a higher risk of a deep economic downturn.

Goldman Sachs' (NYSE:GS) seesaw recession predictions on April 9 are a clear indication that much remains unclear when it comes to the possible implications for the US economy. That day, the firm forecasted a GDP loss of 1 percent in 2025 and a 65 percent probability of a recession in the next 12 months.

However, within an hour, Trump announced a 90 day pause on his reciprocal tariffs and the group returned to its previous non-recession baseline forecast, with GDP growth of 0.5 percent and a 45 percent probability of recession.

Goldman Sachs isn't alone in its reluctance to say a recession is in the cards. During an April 14 Fox Business interview, Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) CEO Brian Moynihan said his firm does not expect to see a recession in 2025, although he acknowledged that BoA did lower its GDP forecast for the year and that continued uncertainty around tariffs could change its outlook.

However, others believe the country has already entered a recession.

“I think we’re very close, if not in, a recession now,” Blackrock (NYSE:BLK) CEO Larry Fink told CNBC during an April 11 interview. “I think you’re going to see, across the board, just a slowdown until there’s more certainty. And we now have a 90-day pause on the reciprocal tariffs — that means longer, more elevated uncertainty.”

So — are we in a recession? Even though nailing down an answer is tricky, investors educate themselves on what a recession is, how long they last and what strategies may work well during these difficult economic periods.
