Bravo Extends T5 Copper-Gold Mineralization Over ~200m of Strike

In This Article:

Highlights include 17.4m at 3.49% Cu, 0.95g/t Au, including 3.5m at 13.1% Cu, 3.87g/t Au; And 4.3m at 4.7% Cu, 0.97g/t Au

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 4, 2024 /CNW/ - Bravo Mining Corp. (TSXV: BRVO) (OTCQX: BRVMF), ("Bravo" or the "Company") is pleased to report that it has received more high-grade assay results from five additional drill holes at the "T5" copper-gold target at its 100% owned Luanga Project. T5 lies to the east of the Luanga PGM+Au+Ni deposit located in World Class Carajás Brazil.

"Drilling has resumed at Target T5 following down hole EM in the initial discovery hole (DDH2405T002 11.48m at 14.3% Cu, 3.3g/t Au) with mineralization now covering approximately 200m of strike. Drill Hole DDH2405T012 (collared to the east of T5 with assays pending) has also intercepted typical Carajás IOCG style mineralization which is very encouraging," said Luis Azevedo, Chairman and CEO. "DDH2505T013 is one of a series of holes that will continue to test the strike length further east. Coupled with an improving outlook for copper and gold, this is a very exciting time as Bravo continues to grow and better understand the potential of the T5 discovery".

  • Drill hole DDH2405T009 intercepted 17.4m at 3.49% Cu, 0.95g/t Au, including 3.5m at 13.1% Cu, 3.87g/t Au east of discovery hole DDH2405T002 (11.48m at 14.3% Cu, 3.3g/t Au including 2.9m at 22.9% Cu, 3.6g/t Au).

  • In the most easterly section to date, DDH2405T012 (assays pending) intercepted multiple zones of mineralization consisting of disseminated/veinlet sulphides and semi-massive/brecciated copper sulphides.

  • DDH2405T0013 will be collared 25m further east on strike of DDH2405T012.

  • On the western side of T5, DDH2405T010 intercepted 4.3m at 4.7% Cu, 0.97g/t Au, increasing the current strike to ~200m.

Notes:

All 'From', 'To' depths, and 'Thicknesses' are downhole.


Given orientation of drilling and mineralization, intercepts are estimated at 140% to 150% of true thickness.


Type: FR = Fresh Rock. Recovery methods and results will differ based on the type of mineralization.

T5 Target – Exploration Update

Assay results have been received from diamond drill holes DDH2405T006, 007, 008, 009 and 010 at the T5 target, with assays pending for DDH2405T011 and 012. T5 is located 1km east of the Luanga PGM Deposit. This drilling comprises a total of seven holes for 1,909 metres. The status of drilling at T5 is shown in Figure 2.
