Bravo Continues to Intersect Increasingly Wide and High-Grade PGM+Au+Ni Mineralization in the North and Central Sectors at Luanga

In This Article:

Highlights include 59.9m at 4.80g/t PGM+Au including 42.9m at 5.50g/t PGM+Au, 0.21% Ni,
and 140.7m at 1.25g/t PGM+Au and 45.7m at 1.71g/t PGM+Au, 0.22% Ni

VANCOUVER, BC, May 6, 2024 /CNW/ - Bravo Mining Corp. (TSXV: BRVO) (OTCQX: BRVMF), ("Bravo" or the "Company")  has received assay results from nine diamond drill holes ("DDH"), four from the North Sector and five from the Central Sector at its 100% owned Luanga palladium + platinum + rhodium + gold + nickel project ("Luanga" or "Luanga PGM+Au+Ni Project"), located in the Carajás Mineral Province, state of Pará, Brazil.

"Drilling results at Luanga continue to demonstrate upside, notably with DDH24LU240 returning the highest grade/thickness to date. Additionally, DDH24LU038 stands out as the thickest mineralized drill intersection, extending over 140m from surface," said Luis Azevedo, Chairman and CEO. "Drilling continues to show increasing nickel sulphide grades at depth in the Central Sector, while the North Sector shows widening of multiple zones of mineralization, which has the potential to significantly  improve  ratios of near surface mineralized to unmineralized material.  These positive factors strengthen confidence for on-going drilling."

Highlights Include:

  • Drilling in the North Sector continues to show improvements in both mineralized grade and thickness compared to previously reported drilling in this sector. Grades in and around the transitional weathering zone are higher, influenced by supergene enrichment, as shown on Section 1:

    • 59.9m at 4.80g/t PGM+Au, including 42.9m at 5.50g/t PGM+Au, 0.21% Ni

    • 140.7m at 1.25g/t PGM+Au

  • Mineralization intersected on all three drill sections are at shallow depths (<150m), which augurs well for the future. Furthermore, the substantial volumes of mineralization, indicated by these wide intersections near surface, could support lower strip ratios in these areas.

  • Mineralization remains open at depth, while evidence of increasing PGM and nickel grades at depth remains a common theme in the Central Sector.

Notes: 

All 'From', 'To' depths, and 'Thicknesses' are downhole. 'NA' Not applicable for Oxide material.


Given orientation of drilling and mineralization, intercepts are estimated at 110% to 120% of true thickness in the Central Sector and 125% to 140% of true thickness in the North Sector.


Type: Ox = Oxide. FR = Fresh Rock. LS = Low Sulphide. Recovery methods and results will differ based on the type of mineralization.


* Bravo's nickel grades are sulphide nickel, and do not include non-recoverable silicate nickel, unlike historical total nickel assays

Luanga Drilling Update

Results from nine diamond drill holes have been received from the North and Central Sectors. All the drill holes herein reported are angled holes (-60 degrees), towards a 090° azimuth in the North and 330° azimuth in the Central Sector. Together, this set of drill holes comprise a total of 1,581 metres of diamond drilling.
