Permitting and Surface Access Update for Bravo’s Luanga (PGM+Au+Ni) Project
De-risked future permitting process for Luanga; Surface Access Agreements for 100% of Luanga Deposit
VANCOUVER, August 02, 2022 – Bravo Mining Corp. (TSX.V: BRVO), (“Bravo” or the “ Company”) is pleased to
announce that its Luanga platinum group metals (palladium + platinum + rhodium) + gold + nickel (PGM+Au+Ni)
project (“ Luanga”), located in the Carajás Mineral Province, state of Par á, Brazil is now part of the Brazilian
Government’s “streamlined” licencing process that shortens and de-risks the permitting process for any future
mining development. In addition, the Company has now secured land access agreements over 100% of the Luanga
mineralized envelope.
Highlights
▪ Luanga was added to the Brazilian Government’s list of Strategic Metals Projects (refer to June 20, 2002 press
release https://bravomining.com/pdf/2022-06-20-Bravo-PR-Strategic-Minerals-Project-Selectio.pdf)
▪ Subsequently, SEMAS (Secretaria de Estado de Meio Ambiente e Sustentabilidade ) has issued the
environmental “Terms of Reference” for Luanga, which simplifies and accelerates the work and time required
to obtain environmental licencing for future project implementation
▪ The Government’s “streamlined” licencing process is available to Luanga for the next 5 years , de-risking the
future permitting process for any mining development at Luanga
▪ Executed land access agreements are now in place for 100% of the Luanga mineralized envelope
On March 16, 2022, the Company submitted a request for the Term of Reference before SEMAS, Pará State, for
the commencement of the environmental licensing process. Since the project is close to three existing operating
mines that have completed large env ironmental surveys, is an anthropized area with no special protection
requirements, has no native forest and no communities within a 10km radius, SEMAS granted the Term of
Reference on July 15, 2022. SEMAS confirmed that data collection for environmental surveys can be performed
in a single campaign, held at the transition between the dry season and wet season. This will simplify and shorten
the time to complete the EIA/RIMA (Environmental Impact Study and Report ) and will facilitate a streamlined
process for obtaining future environmental permits for the implementation of any mining project and its
associated infrastructure.
“We are very pleased that Luanga was recognized on the Brazilian Government’s list of St rategic Metals Projects
and is eligible for a streamlined permitting process, materially de-risking future project development,” said Luis
Azevedo, Chairman and CEO of Bravo. “Additionally, execution of the surface access agreements over the northern
extent of Luanga means we now have agreements in place for 100% of the Luanga ’s mineralized envelope and
allows us to aggressively advance our drilling program over the entirety of the 7km mineralized trend.
Luanga Drill Program
The Phase 1 diamond drill program continues as planned at Luanga. With 6 drill rigs on site, drilling is now in
progress in various locations along the entire strike length of the project, including to the north where the latest
and final access agreements were recently signed. The figure below shows the updated coverage of drill access
agreements.
Phase 1 drilling is designed to confirm, infill and step out from the previously defined mineralization in order to
increase confidence in the geological model and provide the basis for future mineral resource estimates.
Additionally, deeper drilling will target extensions and exploration targets at Luanga.
