Bravo Extends PGM+Au+Ni Mineralization to Depth & Intercepts more
Magmatic Nickel Sulphides
Highlights include 49m at 3.12g/t PGM+Au, 0.33% Ni including 12m at 6.10g/t PGM+Au, 0.54% Ni, 0.8m at
1.91g/t PGM+Au, 1.65% Ni and 0.7m at 0.08g/t PGM+Au, 1.43% Ni
VANCOUVER, November 28, 2023 – Bravo Mining Corp. (TSX.V: BRVO, OTCQX: BRVMF), (“Bravo” or the “Company”)
announced that it has received assay results from thirteen diamond drill holes (“DDH”) from the Southwest, 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 Carajás Mineral Province, state of Pará, Brazil.
“The Phase 2 drill program is progressing as planned, with results extending PGM+Au+Ni mineralization from ~150m
to ~ 400m below surface (see Figures 2 and 3) with comparable thicknesses and grades to those intercepted at
shallower depths that were tested during our Phase 1 Program ,” said Luis Azevedo, Chairman and CEO of Bravo.
“Further, a dditional evidence of magmatic nickel sulphide mineralization at both the North and Central sectors
supports the potential for the nickel sulphide mineralization continuing to depth at Luanga. We continue to be
encouraged with such results, particularly as we commence drill testing of priority HeliTEM (airborne
electromagnetics) targets.”
Highlights Include:
▪ Geotechnical drill hole DDH23LU202 in the North Sector, located between HeliTEM anomalies T2 and T3 (not
yet drill tested) intersected two zones (6.28m at 1.21g/t PGM+Au, 0.80% Ni including 3.28m at 1.45g/t
PGM+Au, 1.02% Ni, and 5.20m at 0.99g/t PGM+Au, 0.84% Ni) of magmatic nickel sulphide mineralization.
▪ DDH23LU204 (49m at 3.12g/t PGM+Au, 0.33% Ni, including 12m at 6.10g/t PGM+Au, 0.54% Ni), shows the
continuation of high-grade mineralization from DDH23LU175 on the section to the north, while directly along
strike to the south is the untested HeliTEM anomaly T17.
▪ Magmatic Ni sulphides were also intersected in the ultramafic basal sequence at the northern end of the
Central Sector in drill holes DDH23LU201 (0.77m at 1.91g/t PGM+Au, 1.65% Ni) and DDH23LU205 (0.70m at
0.08g/t PGM+Au, 1.43% Ni). These intercepts provide further indications of the potential for higher grade Ni
sulphide zones in the basal units, stratigraphically below the PGM+Au+Ni mineral resource.
▪ Drilling testing of the 17 priority HeliTEM targets has started.

Luanga Drilling Update
Results from thirteen diamond d rill holes have been received, which includes one of the potential pit-wall
geotechnical drill holes and drilling from the Phase 2 Program. Phase 2 drilling is targeting potential extensions of
PGM+Au+Ni mineralization down to twice the depth below surface that Bravo drilled in Phase 1 . Two of the drill
holes reported in this news release are located in the North Sector, including the geotechnical drill hole, seven are
in the Central Sector, and three are in the Southwest Sector.
Geotechnical drill hole DDH23LU202 (Figure 1) located in the North Sector shows a wide (>100m) zone of magmatic
Ni mineralization within which there are two distinct higher -grade Ni zones (6.28m at 1.21g/t PGM+Au, 0. 80% Ni
including 3.28m at 1.45g/t PGM+Au, 1.02% Ni, and 5.20m at 0.99g/t PGM+Au, 0.84% Ni), providing further evidence
of magmatic nickel sulphides distributed over a significant stratigraphic thickness in the North Sector.
Also potentially significant, DDH23LU202 (Figure 4 – Section 3) intersected magmatic nickel sulphides in the gap
between HeliTEM anomalies T2 and T3 (yet to be drill tested) and on strike of both EM anomalies.
Figure 1: Core Photo DDH23LU202, magmatic nickel sulphide mineralization - North Sector.
Section 1 (Figure 2) in the Central Sector shows DDH23LU204 (49m at 3.12g/t PGM+Au, 0.33% Ni , including 12m at
6.10g/t PGM+Au, 0.54% Ni), which lies directly along strike from previously reported drill hole DDH23LU175 in Figure
3 (54m at 2.33g/t PGM+Au, 0.22% Ni , including 32m at 4.99g/t PGM+Au, 0.30% Ni).
The results from DDH23LU204 define a continuation of a distinct higher-grade zone of mineralization extending from
DDH23LU175 on the section to the north and close to the geographic centre of the Luanga intrusion. Assay results
from DDH23LU204 show increased PGM+Au and significantly higher Ni sulphide grades as compared to DDH23LU175
to the north. Directly to the south of DDH23LU204 is HeliTEM anomaly T17, which is scheduled to be drilled in the
coming months.
Section 2 (Figure 3) shows DDH23LU215 (30m at 1.73g/t PGM+Au, 0.25% Ni), drilled below (down dip) of drill hole
DDH23LU175, which demonstrates that mineralization continues at depth , albeit with a lesser thickness in
comparison to DDH23LU175. This result, coupled with the significant increase in grade in DDH23LU204 to the south
(see Figure 5 for location), could be indicative of a plunging high-grade zone.
At the northern end of the Central Sector, magmatic Ni sulphides were also intersected in the ultramafic footwall in
drill holes DDH23LU201 (0.77m at 1.91g/t PGM+Au, 1.65% Ni) and DDH23LU205 (0.70m at 0.08g/t PGM+Au, 1.43%
Ni) supporting the potential for zones of magmatic Ni sulphides in the stratigraphic basal units of the Central Sector.
