Wind Mountain Drilling Underway

Drilling is underway at the Company's Wind Mountain gold and silver property, located in northwestern Nevada. The program is expected to consist of eight reverse-circulation holes that will further test two exploration targets, which are separate from existing resources, and one probable expansion of Bravada's Breeze resource. Details of the planned program were described in news release NR-03-13, dated February 19, 2013. The goal of this program is to identify new mineralization that will add to Bravada's existing NI-43-101 resource at Wind Mountain, which consists of 570,000 ounces of gold and 14.7 million ounces of silver in the Indicated category and an additional 354,000 ounces of gold and 10.1 million ounces of silver in the Inferred category (see Table below and news release NR-06-12 dated April 11, 2012 for details).

The drilling program is being funded by Argonaut Gold Inc. (AR.T, "Argonaut"), with Bravada as project manager. Argonaut can fund staged expenditures totalling US$7.5 million over a three-year period to exercise their option to purchase the project by paying Bravada a price of $30 per ounce of gold-equivalent contained within Measured and Indicated Resource categories as determined by independent Qualified Persons. Further details of the agreement can be found in Bravada's news release of September 18, 2012 (NR-11-12).
