Bravada Signs Letter of Intent to Option Baxter Au/Ag Property in Nevada to Endeavour Silver

Vancouver, May 30, 2023 - Bravada Gold Corp. (TSXV: BVA) (FSE: BRTN) (OTCQB: BGAVF) ("Bravada" or the "Company") announced today that it has signed a non-binding Letter-of-Intent (the "LOI") with Endeavour Silver Corp. ("Endeavour") granting Endeavour the option to earn an 85% interest in the Company's Baxter gold and silver property ("Baxter"), located directly north of Endeavour's Bruner project in Nevada's Walker Lane Gold trend (the "Transaction"). Baxter consists of 114 unpatented lode claims (approximately 920 hectares).

Pursuant to the LOI, subject to the execution of a definitive agreement in respect of the Transaction ("Definitive Agreement"), Endeavour will have the right to explore and the option to earn an 85% interest in Baxter (the "Option") by, among other things, incurring US$4.5 million in exploration, development and Option expenditures ("Exploration/Option Expenditures") on Baxter over a five-year period from the effective date of the Definitive Agreement.

The LOI provides that Endeavour shall make annual cash option payments of US$100,000 to Bravada ("Option Payments"), 50% of which may be paid in common shares of Endeavour at its sole discretion, and incur Exploration Expenditures on Baxter as follows (US$):

• Year 1 - $ 250,000
• Year 2 - $ 250,000
• Year 3 - $ 500,000
• Year 4 - $1,000,000
• Year 5 - $2,000,000

Endeavour shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to accelerate any time period for incurring the Exploration Expenditures or to elect to satisfy any of the Exploration Expenditures by cash payment to Bravada.

Upon completion of the Exploration Expenditures and payment of all of the Option Payments, Endeavour shall have exercised the Option and Endeavour and Bravada will form an 85/15 joint venture, with Bravada carried to production with payback of Bravada's carried portion from the Company's share of net income from the sale of all minerals produced from Baxter.

Extensive low-sulfidation-type gold and silver mineralization is exposed at surface and in reverse-circulation holes drilled by Bravada and others on several target areas within Baxter. Additional mineralization may lie beneath a relatively thin veneer of gravel and post-mineral volcanics in portions of the property. Drilling at the Sinter target has outlined near-surface gold mineralization that is open along strike and at depth. The best hole to date at Sinter is BAX16-13 (previously reported), which returned 0.88 grams of gold per ton (g/t) from 32 to 64 metres (m) depth, including 6.1m of 2.2g/t gold. Approximately 300m along strike is a single hole, BAX17-07 (previously reported), which returned a 9.1m interval beginning at 198.6m depth of 1.38g/t Au, including 3.0m of 3.7g/t Au. The intercept in hole BAX17-07 is untested up- and down-dip, and the intervening ground to BAX16-13 is undrilled and covered by shallow alluvium. Soil sampling is planned soon, with results guiding a detailed drill-delineation program.

President Joe Kizis commented, "This potential agreement with a growing, successful mining company like Endeavour Silver is a great, low-risk opportunity for Bravada to piggy-back off of Endeavour's adjacent Bruner deposit. Endeavour benefits from adding potentially high-margin, shallow oxidized gold from the Sinter Target for a modeled heap-leach site on Bruner that is directly south of Baxter's claim boundary.

Bravada's broad portfolio of high-quality gold properties in Nevada continues to receive active interest by potential partners, and the Company looks forward to announcing other beneficial deals if and when they mature."

Further details regarding the proposed Transaction will be provided in a comprehensive news release if, and when, the parties enter into a Definitive Agreement. The proposed Transaction is subject to, among other things, the completion of satisfactory due diligence, the execution of the Definitive Agreement and the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
