Bravo’s Trenching Program Highlights Higher Gold Grades with

Associated Copper in the North Sector

Highlights include 151m at 3.6 g/t PGM+Au (plus 0.16% Cu), including 43m at 8.3 g/t PGM+Au

(plus 0.21% Cu), as well as 78m at 3.0 g/t PGM+Au, including 17m at 7.1 g/t PGM+Au

TORONTO, March 25, 2026 – Bravo Mining Corp. (TSX.V: BRVO, OTCQX: BRVMF), (“Bravo” or the “ Company”) is

pleased to report that it has received assay results from seven trenches in the North Sector at its 100% owned Luanga

palladium + platinum + rhodium + gold + nickel deposit (“Luanga deposit” or “Luanga PGM+Au+Ni deposit”), located

in the Carajás Mineral Province, Pará State, Brazil.

“Trenching has identified the presence of anomalous copper associated with elevated gold values in the North Sector

of the Luanga Deposit, which is particularly encouraging, as it may point to later -stage Iron Oxide Copper Gold-style

(“IOCG”) mineralization overprinting the PGM mineralization. This emerging copper -gold association supports our

broader geological model and aligns with the rationale behind advancing our dedicated copper -gold exploration

division, which is now working on an exploration program designed to further define and test Cu-Au targets in 2026,”

said Luís Azevedo, Chairman and CEO of Bravo. “At the same time, trenching continues to demonstrate a broader

lateral extent of oxide PGM+Au mineralization at surface, including zones with significantly higher grades and

particularly elevated gold grades as compared to those previously observed. These consistent results suggest potential

to increase the overall volume of oxide mineralization at Luanga. Importantly, the higher -grade zones observed in

trenching align with, and in some cases exceed, grades intersected in drill holes at depth in this area.”

Highlights Include:

▪ Results from trenching at the most northerly part of Luanga’s North Sector have shown unusually high gold

grades as compared to those previously observed at Luanga overall, including the remainder of the North

Sector.

▪ Some trenches also show anomalous copper (“Cu”) associated with the gold, potentially indicative of later

IOCG mineralization that is overprinting the PGM mineralization, that may be associated with other IOCG-style

mineralization observed proximal to the North Sector, for example at the Babylon target.

▪ Infill trenching continues to confirm the presence of supergene enrichment in the saprolite zone (above the

base of oxidation) in the North Sector.

Luanga Trenching Program

Trenching across the strike of the Luanga PGM+Au+Ni deposit is aimed at improving the interpretation of near-

surface mineralization and reducing the spacing between assay data points, with the objective of supporting mineral

resource classification to the Indicated category. The program has continued to be successful in meeting Bravo’s

objectives.

Results from trenching at the most northerly part of Luanga’s North Sector have shown unusually high gold grades

as compared to th ose previously observed at Luanga, including elsewhere in the North Sector. A series of six infill

trenches (TRC25LU055 and TRC25LU057 to TRC25LU061 inclusive; Figures 1 and 2 ) were completed to further

investigate the higher gold grades, while trench TRC25LU056 at the southern end of the North Sector aimed to further

test for the presence of higher gold grades in that area.

As previously observed in nearby trench TRC23LU021, which returned 79m at 3.65g/t PGM+Au with Au at 0.13 g/t

Au, and including 22m at 9.4g/t PGM+Au with Au at 0.43 g/t Au (see news release dated September 26, 2023 ),

trenches TRC25LU055 and 057 also returned gold grades that are multiple times higher than those observed

elsewhere at Luanga, and comparable to or exceeding the higher gold grades initially encountered in TRC023LU021.

Trench TRC25LU055 also returned highly anomalous associated copper values.

Anomalous copper associated with elevated gold values is potentially indicative of later IOCG mineralization which is

believed to be associated with the potential IOCG-style mineralization intersected at the Babylon target.

Trench TRC25LU055 (151m at 0.29 g/t Au, 0.16% Cu, including 43m at 0.66 g/t Au and 0.21% Cu), returned the best

Cu-Au results . Trench TRC025LU056 (Figure 2) , located at the southern extent of the North Sector , also showed

indications of elevated gold grades, however anomalous associated copper was also returned (including 30m at 0.15

g/t Au, 0.16% Cu). This trench is located to the south of the Babylon target mineralization and the buried granitic

intrusion referenced above.

Figure 1 shows the location of trenches at the northern extent of the North Sector, while Figure 2 shows the location

of all trenches reported in this news release. I nfill trenching continues to confirm the presence of supergene

enrichment in the saprolite zone (above the base of oxidation) in the North Sector. The presence of higher gold grade

zones within this sector may have favourable economic implications, given the anticipated simpler recovery of gold

versus PGMs in oxide material.

The same sampling and assay laboratory procedures , as well as QAQC protocols applied to drill core sampling , are

applied to trench samples.

Luanga Drilling & Trenching Status

A total of 3 87 drill holes have been completed by Bravo to date, totaling 80,977 metres, including 8 metallurgical

holes (not subject to routine assaying). Results have been reported for 34 7 Bravo drill holes to date. Assay results

for 32 drill holes are currently outstanding (excluding the metallurgical holes). A total of 5 8 trenches have been

completed to date (10,901 metres), with results for 6 trenches currently pending.

Schedule 2: Assay Methodologies and QAQC

Samples follow a chain of custody between collection, processing, and delivery to the SGS laboratory in Parauapebas,

state of Par á, 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 Parau apebas SGS laboratory by Bravo staff. Additional information about the

methodology can be found on the SGS Geosol website ( SGS) in their analytical guides. Information regarding

preparation and analysis of historic drill core is also presented in the table below, where the information is known.

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.
