President Joe Kizis commented, "The transaction with Mantra allows Bravada to continue its core business of exploring its remaining inventory of 13 mineral properties in mining-friendly Nevada, together with any newly acquired properties, directly and through option and joint-venture agreements with third-party companies, while benefitting from the sale of Wind Mountain for cash and common shares in a new company managed by experienced mining personnel that will focus its efforts on bringing the Wind Mountain gold and silver property back into production.
"Although significant new gold deposits have become increasingly rare worldwide, large and high-grade gold deposits continue to be discovered in Nevada. Our extensive geologic expertise and critically selected land positions in Nevada's most prolific gold trends place Bravada in a strong position to make major new discoveries, which will become critically important as the industry struggles to replace reserves."
