Results Include 11m @ 4.24
g/t 3PGM+Au, 2.04% Nickel + 1.23% Copper
VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 17,
2022 /CNW/ - Bravo Mining Corp. (TSXV: BRVO) (OTCQX:
BRVMF), ("Bravo" or the "Company") today
announced that high-grade PGM assay results have been received for
previously released diamond drill hole DDH22LU047. Hole
DDH22LU047 intercepted high-grade nickel and copper at
its Luanga palladium + platinum + rhodium + gold + nickel
(PGM+Au+Ni) project ("Luanga"), located in the Carajás
Mineral Province, state of Pará, Brazil.
The high-grade intercept in hole - DDH22LU047 graded
4.24 g/t 3PGM+Au with 2.04% nickel and 1.23% copper over
11.04m and occurs in massive
and semi-massive sulphides.
"As announced in Bravo's August
16th, 2022 news release, high-grade
nickel-copper mineralization had not been previously observed at
Luanga. This discovery suggests potential for other metals
and styles of mineralization than previously intercepted at Luanga,
and we are extremely encouraged that it also contains high
grade PGMs," said Luis Azevedo,
Chairman and CEO of Bravo. "Downhole EM has commenced and should
greatly assist in targeting follow up drilling, whilst surface EM
has the potential to identify other massive and semi-massive
sulphide mineralization along Luanga's 8.1 km mineralized
strike."

- Two diamond drill holes have been completed on each of two
drill sections located 50m north and
south of DDH22LU047.
- All four step-out drill holes have intersected varying amounts
of semi-massive sulphides. Assay results are pending.
- Drill rigs have been temporarily moved clear of the area while
borehole electromagnetic surveys ("EM") are completed on these four
step-out drill holes.
- Following the completion of borehole EM, surface fixed loop EM
will commence over the entire Luanga deposit.

Luanga Drill Program
The Phase 1 diamond drill program continues as planned at
Luanga. Six drill rigs are on site, with drilling progressing in
various locations along the entire 8.1 km strike length of the
known Luanga mineralized envelope (as defined by historic
drilling). To date, 91 drill holes have been completed, for a total
of 15,554 metres of the planned 25,500 metre Phase 1 drill
program.

Schedule 2: Assay Methodologies and QAQC
Samples follow a chain of custody between collection, processing
and delivery to the ALS laboratory in Parauapebas, state of Pará,
Brazil. The drill core is
delivered to the core shack at Bravo's Luanga site facilities and
processed by geologists who insert certified reference materials,
blanks and duplicates into the sampling sequence. Drill core is
half cut and placed in secured polyurethane bags, then in
security-sealed sacks before being delivered directly from the
Luanga site facilities to the Parauapebas ALS laboratory by Bravo
staff. Additional information about the methodology can be found on
the ALS global website (ALS) in the analytical guides. IN this case
a split is collected by Bravo staff and securely delivered to the
Intertek laboratory in Parauapebas where it was assayed by high
priority for ore grade Ni and Cu.
Quality Assurance and Quality Control ("QAQC") is maintained
internally at the lab through rigorous use of internal certified
reference materials, blanks, and duplicates. An additional QAQC
program is administered by Bravo using certified reference
materials, duplicate samples and blank samples that are blindly
inserted into the sample batch. If a QAQC sample returns an
unacceptable value an investigation into the results is triggered
and when deemed necessary, the samples that were tested in the
batch with the failed QAQC sample are re-tested.
