Financing, Provides Wind Mountain Au-Ag
Project, Nevada Update
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 28, 2022) -
Bravada Gold Corporation
(TSXV:
BVA) (FSE: BRTN) (OTCQB: BGAVF) (the "Company" or "Bravada") announces that it has closed the
previously announced non-brokered private placement for total gross proceeds of $1,719,500 through
the issuance of 34,390,000 units of the Company at a price of $0.05 per unit. The original $1,500,000
offering, previously announced on March 21, 2022, has been oversubscribed. Each unit consists of one
common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the
holder thereof to purchase a common share at an exercise price of $0.10 for a period of two years
following the closing of the offering.
Net proceeds from the private placement will be used to continue exploration drilling at the Wind
Mountain property and to incorporate higher-grade gold and silver assay results from 2021 in-fill drilling,
as well as results from earlier post-2012 drilling, into an update of the resource calculation and PEA. Net
proceeds will also cover property maintenance for the Company's portfolio of Nevada properties and for
working capital.
All securities issued and sold under the offering will be subject to a hold period until August 29, 2022,
which is four months and one day from their date of issuance. In connection with the offering, the
Company paid aggregate cash finders' fees of $6,650 and issued an aggregate of 133,000 non-
transferable finders' warrants, each exercisable to purchase one common share at an exercise price of
$0.10 for a period of two years.
The Company also reports that it has granted incentive stock options
under its 10% rolling stock option plan to certain directors, officers and consultants of the Company to
purchase a total of 5,000,000 common shares at $0.05 per share exercisable for a period of five years.
About the Wind Mountain Au-Ag project
The Wind Mountain gold-silver property was mined by a former owner, operating an open-pit/heap-leach
operation that produced 299,259oz gold & 1.8MMoz silver. Bravada subsequently acquired 100%
ownership subject to a small royalty, and after a series of exploration and pre-development initiatives,
commissioned in 2012 an independent resource estimate and a Preliminary Economic Evaluation* for
Wind Mountain, which reported positive economics and a resource of:
570,000 ounces of gold and 14.7 million ounces of silver in the Indicated category, and
354,000 ounces of gold and 10.1 million ounces of silver in the Inferred category.
See the table* below and news release NR-06-12 (April 11, 2012) for details of the resource.
Bravada, in 2021, successfully added higher-grade mineralization by in-filling certain portions of the
2012 study area. In addition, exploration drilling at the feeder target in Q4 2020 discovered the top of a
banded vein zone beneath mine waste and other overburden, and in 2021 drilling expanded this zone
beneath cover for 330 metres of strike and is open-ended in both directions. The Company recently
completed permitting five new drill sites to test deeper portions of the vein system where much higher
grades are expected based on analogies with similar vein systems in Nevada and elsewhere.
The proposed exploration program is designed to add tonnage and higher grades to the mineral
inventory as the next step towards mining of the resource.

*Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred resources are considered too speculative
geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be classified as mineral reserves. There is no assurance
that any part of the resources will ultimately be converted to mineral reserves.
Mine Development Associates compiled the Technical Report and PEA. Thomas Dyer, P.E. is a Senior
Engineer for MDA and is responsible for sections of the Technical Report involving mine designs and
the economic evaluation, and Steven Ristorcelli, C.P.G., is a Principal Geologist for MDA and is
responsible for the sections involving the Mineral Resource estimate. These are the Qualified Persons of
the technical report for the purpose of Canadian NI 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Economic
Analyses of Mineral Projects. Details of the PEA produced by Mine Development Associates (MDA) of
Reno can be found on SEDAR, as previously reported (see NR-07-12 dated May 1, 2012). Note that
although the PEA was encouraging, it is preliminary in nature, it includes Inferred mineral resources that
are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would
enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves, and there is no certainty that the PEA will be
realized.
About Bravada
Bravada is an exploration company with a portfolio of high-quality properties in Nevada, one of the best
mining jurisdictions in the world. Bravada has successfully identified and advanced properties with the
potential to host high-margin deposits while successfully attracting partners to fund later stages of project

individuals. Bravada currently has 10 projects in its portfolio, consisting of 810 claims for approximately
