Bravada/OceanaGold Announce 2019 Work Program for the Highland Gold/Silver Project in Nevada

10.04.2019  |  Newsfile

Vancouver, April 10, 2019 - Bravada Gold Corp. (TSXV: BVA) (OTCQB: BGAVF) (FSE: BRTN) ("Bravada") announces that the Highland Project Technical Committee composed of Bravada and Option/Joint Venture partner OceanaGold U.S. Holdings Inc. ("OceanaGold"), a wholly owned subsidiary of OceanaGold Corp. have approved a +US$400,000 exploration program for 2019.

Planned work includes additional geological mapping, approximately 35-line-kilometers of detailed geophysics, 35-line-kilometers of soil sampling for assay and XRF study, and permitting for a 2020 drilling campaign. The project has been increased in size by 60% through staking additional claims and now consists of 163 claims (approximately 1,300 hectares/3,200 acres).

As previously announced (see news release NR-09-18 dated December 20, 2018), OceanaGold may earn up to a 75 percent interest in Bravada's low-sulfidation Highland gold/silver project in Nevada's Walker Lane Gold trend.

President Joe Kizis commented, "Highland has characteristics of the world's great Low-sulfidation gold deposits. The extent of alteration and veining is very large, and surface sampling and limited drilling have demonstrated that this large system is capable of hosting high grades of gold and silver. Extensive areas of sinter demonstrate that the gold zone has not yet been eroded and should be preserved in its entirety at depth.

We believe the careful, systematic approach laid out in the work program will result in great success with the drill, as has been demonstrated by OceanaGold elsewhere in the world for similar deposits. Low-sulfidation deposits worldwide are among the most attractive, highest-margin gold/silver deposits, with many exploited by small-footprint, underground mining and relatively benign milling operations. An important characteristic of low-sulfidation deposits is that they typically occur as clusters of similar-grade deposits, many of which may be blind at surface. Discovery rates tend to be high in such districts long after mining has begun. Highland's location in an established mining region in Nevada reduces risks associated with land tenure, logistics, and capital and operation costs when compared to many regions of the world."

About Highland - The Highland low-sulfidation-type project consists of 163 Federal lode claims for a total of approximately 1,300 hectares and is located along the Walker Lane Gold trend of western Nevada. Previous drilling by Bravada's US subsidiary intersected vein zones with locally high-grade intercepts; the Company's best hole, H02013, intersected 1.5 meters (m) of 66.9 grams of gold per ton (g/t) and 397.7g/t silver within a 12.2m intercept of 9.5g/t gold and 109.4g/t silver, with true thicknesses estimated at 65% of the intervals. A thin layer of alluvial gravel covers much of the property and several targets have been identified that have not been previously tested with drilling.

About Bravada

Bravada is an exploration company with a portfolio of high-quality properties in Nevada, one of the best mining jurisdictions in the world. The Company has successfully identified and advanced properties that have the potential to host high-margin deposits while successfully attracting partners to fund later stages of project development. With the addition of OceanaGold's option of Highland, four of Bravada's eleven Nevada properties are being funded by partners. As well, there are no NSR-type royalties to vendors that cannot be reduced. Bravada's value is underpinned by a substantial gold and silver resource with a positive PEA at Wind Mountain and the Company has significant upside potential from possible new discoveries at its exploration properties, most of which host encouraging drill intercepts of gold and which already have drill targets developed by the Company.
