Bravo’s Nickel-Copper Massive Sulphide Intercept Returns High-Grade PGMs

Drill Results

NEWS RELEASE

17 October 2022

Results Include 11m @ 4.24 g/t 3PGM+Au, 2.04% Nickel + 1.23% Copper

VANCOUVER, October 17, 2022 – Bravo Mining Corp. (TSX.V: 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 DDH22LU047intercepted 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 16 th, 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 target ing 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.”

Notes: All ‘From’, ‘To’ depths, and ‘Thicknesses’ are downhole.

Given the orientation of the hole and the mineralization, the intercept is estimated to be 85% of true thickness.

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

• 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 wi ll 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 8.1km 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.

About Bravo Mining Corp.

Bravo is a Canada and Brazil-based mineral exploration and development company focused on advancing its Luanga

PGM + Au + Ni Project in the world-class Carajás Mineral Province of Brazil.

The Luanga Project benefits from being in a location close to operating mines, with excellent access and proximity to

existing infrastructure, including road, rail and clean and renewable hydro grid power. The project area was

previously de-forested for agricultural grazing land. Bravo’s current Environmental, Social and Governance activities

includes replanting trees in the project area, hiring and contracting locally, and ensuring protection of the

environment during its exploration activities.

information is characterized by words such as “potential”, “assist”, “ suggest”, and other similar words, phrases or

statements that certain e vents or conditions “should”, or “will” occur.

In particular, this news release contains forward -looking information pertaining to the Company’s ongoing drill

program and the results thereof, including the assay results for the four step-out holes near hole -047 that intercepted

semi-massive sulphides ; the results of geophysical surveys; the potential for the definition o f new styles of

mineralization and the Company’s plans in respect thereof. Forward-looking information involves risks, uncertainties

and other factors that could cause actual events, results, and opportunities to differ materially from those expressed

or implied by such forward-looking information. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such

forward-looking information include, but are not limited to, changes in the state of equity and debt markets,

development industry. Forward-looking information in this news release is based on the opinions and assumptions of

management considered reasonable as of the date hereof, including, but not limited to, the assumption that the assay

results confirm the interpreted mineralization contains significant values of nickel, copper and also contain PGMs and

Au; final drill and assay results will be in line with management’s expectations ; that activities will not be adversely

disrupted or impeded by regulatory, political, community, economic, environmental and/or healthy and safety risks;

that the Luanga Project will not be materially affected by potential supply chain disruptions; and ge neral business

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 Par á, Brazil. The drill core is delivered to the core shack at Bravo’s Luanga site facilities and processed by

geologists who inse rt 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 Parauap ebas 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.
