Braveheart Resources Inc. Commences Diamond Drilling Program at its Alpine Mine Property near Nelson BC
Toronto, August 29, 2017 - Braveheart Resources Inc. (TSXV: BHT) ("Braveheart" or, the "Company") announces the commencement of its planned 2017 Drilling Program. This follows its success in recently completing the last tranche of a non-brokered private placement financing consisting of 125,000 flow-through units at $0.06 per flow-through unit and 1,600,000 units at $0.06 per unit for gross proceeds of $103,500. This results in an oversubscribed total financing raise of $804,000 and will finance the 2017 drilling program and general working capital. All securities issued pursuant to the financing will be subject to a four month hold period.
Phil Keele, Braveheart President and CEO stated. "The objective of this drilling program is to improve our understanding of the gold potential on the down dip side of the vein structure at the Alpine Mine Property ("Alpine"). Alpine has a rich history of gold production primarily dating back to the 1930's and 40's. These workings still exist today. This drilling will improve our estimate of what additional gold resource potentially exists on this exciting, high grade property. Drilling core holes that intersect the vein structure and then analyzing the core in a qualified laboratory enables us to do just that. We are confident that our drilling contractor, Lucky Drilling Ltd, supported by the competent services of TerraLogic Exploration Inc. and Masse Environmental Consultants Ltd., will enable the completion of a series of strategically selected drill holes safely, efficiently, on budget and in an environmentally sensitive manner. I am grateful to all of our shareholders that believe, like I do, in the value of Braveheart Resources Inc. and the growth of its suite of BC gold properties."
