VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 06/14/12 -- Bravada Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE: BVA)(FRANKFURT: BRT) has received notice that Terra Rossa Gold Ltd. ("Terra Rossa") has received drill permits and is constructing drill pads at the Company's Signal property, located along Nevada's Battle Mountain/Eureka Gold trend in the northwest portion of the Eureka District. Within the district are several active exploration projects and Barrick's Ruby Hill gold mine, located six kilometres to the east of Signal. Drilling is anticipated to begin the week of June 18th and is expected to consist of 2,000 to 2,500 meters of core.
Terra Rosa can earn an initial 51% interest in the project by spending US$2,150,000 over a four-year period with staged work commitments, starting with $250,000 in the first year, and issuing to the Company 250,000 common shares commencing after the first anniversary. Terra Rosa can earn an additional 19% by further spending US$3,850,000 and issuing to the Company another 200,000 common shares over a subsequent three-year period.
Terra Rossa has met its first year spending commitment and work has included detailed mapping, geochemical and geophysical surveys, and permitting. Terra Rossa has also staked additional claims for a property-wide total of 129 claims (approximately 1,000 hectares).
Bravada's previous work at Signal demonstrated these pertinent geologic features:
-- Alteration and geochemistry are typical of Carlin-style mineralization.
-- The Company outlined with drilling two small zones of shallow, oxidized
gold mineralization along the Mississippian unconformity, a common host
horizon in Nevada capable of hosting large and high-grade deposits.
-- Other attractive host rocks are present, locally with strong Carlin-
style alteration and geochemistry.
-- Core holes reveal strong solution cavity development that began during a
Mississippian unconformity and continued during Tertiary hydrothermal
activity, both along specific stratigraphic horizons and along high-
angle faults that were conduits for mineralization.
-- Strong oxidation exists to depths exceeding 500m; deep oxidation is
characteristic of large Carlin-type gold deposits.
