Bravo’s Trenching Program Continues to
Expand Oxide PGM+Au Mineralization
Highlights include 112m at 1.19g/t PGM+Au, including 16m at 2.76g/t PGM+Au and,
156m at 1.01g/t PGM+Au, including 5m at 5.24g/t PGM+Au
VANCOUVER, October 16, 2024 – Bravo Mining Corp. (TSX.V: BRVO, OTCQX: BRVMF), (“Bravo” or the “ Company”)
is pleased to report that it has received assay results from eight trenches in the Central and North Sectors at its 100%
owned Luanga palladium + platinum + rhodium + gold + nickel project (“ Luanga” or “Luanga PGM+Au+Ni Project”),
located in the World Class Carajás Mineral Province, state of Pará, Brazil.
“Trenching has uncovered a wider lateral extent of oxide PGM+Au mineralization at surface, which includes areas
with higher grades. These findings suggest a potential increase in the volume of oxide mineralization at Luanga.
Additionally, the higher-grade zones within these sections align with or enhance t he grades observed in the drilling
below the trench lines, supporting our interpretation of supergene enrichment,” said Luis Azevedo, Chairman and CEO
of Bravo.
Highlights Include:
▪ Trenching across the strike of the Luanga PGM+Au+Ni deposit continues to be successful, with work to date
almost complete in the North and Central Sectors. Results highlight significant expansion in the lateral extent
of shallow oxide mineralization, which extends across the topographic highs, along the entire 8.1km strike
length of the Luanga deposit tested to date.
▪ Results confirm the presence of enrichment in the saprolite zone, while encountering grades that are on par
or better than the grade of the oxide mineralization and often improve upon intersections encountered by
drilling in the underlying fresh rock.
▪ In the North Sector, trench TRC24LU043, where more pronounced topography again provides clearer evidence
of supergene enrichment, returned 156.5m @ 1.01g/t PGM+Au, including 5m @ 5.24g/t PGM+Au.
▪ This “mushrooming” of oxide mineralization in the supergene zone demonstrates the potential for volumetric
growth in future volumes of oxide mineralization.
▪ Drilling continues at the T5 target, with assays pending for six drill holes, all of which have all intersected
copper sulphide mineralization on the eastern end of T5.

Luanga Trenching Program
Trenching across the strike of the Luanga PGM+Au+Ni deposit aims to improve the interpretation of near surface
mineralization and to reduce the distance/spacing between assay data points with the objective of supporting
mineral resource classification to the indicated category. The program continues to be successful in meeting Bravo’s
objectives, with trenching almost complete in the North and Central Sectors and only eight trenches remaining to be
completed this year.
Trenches TRC24LU030, 031A+B, 032, 035 and 036 (Figure 1) cover the southern extent of the Central Sector, while
trenches TRC24LU043 and 044 are at the southern extent of the North Sector. Trenching continues in the Central
Sector, with only 1 trench to complete before commencing in the Southwest Sector. Figure 3 shows the location of
trenches in the Central Sector reported in this news release.
Figure 1: Trenching in the Central Sector.
Trenching results continue to highlight significant expansion in the lateral extent of shallow oxide mineralization,
which extends across the topographically elevated areas, along the entire 8.1km strike length of the Luanga PGM+Au
deposit. R esults also continue to confirm the presence of enrichment in the saprolite zone (above the base of
oxidation), but to lesser degree in the Central Sector where the topographic highs are less exaggerated (see the plan
view in Figure 1 and Section 1 in Figure 2), encountering grades that are equal or better than average grades of oxide
mineralization in surrounding drill holes . In the North Sector , trench TRC24LU043, where more pronounced
topography demonstrates clearer evidence of supergene enrichment, returned a result of 156m @ 1.01g/t PGM+Au,
including 5m @ 5.24g/t PGM+Au.
Figure 2 (Section 1) illustrates the extent of surface oxide mineralization compared to underlying narrower zones of
primary (fresh rock) mineralization observed in drilling below the trench. This “mushrooming” of oxide mineralization
in the supergene zone demonstrates the potential for volumetric growth in future oxide mineral ization that it was
not possible to define by drilling alone.

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 Parauapebas 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.
