Bravada Gold Corporation reported that two proof-of-concept holes were completed in December and early January at the company's 100% owned low-sulfidation Wind Mountain project, a past-producing gold/silver property in northwestern Nevada. The reverse-circulation holes were drilled approximately 1,500m apart. Alteration and geochemistry indicate that the southerly hole intersected mineralization with characteristics of being up-dip from a feeder zone and the northerly hole intersected characteristics of being down-dip from a feeder zone, indicating the feeder lies between these holes. Each hole intersected a low-angle fault that separates the Tertiary volcanic and sedimentary host rocks from Mesozoic metamorphosed basement rocks. Hole WM17-097 (-75, 135 degrees, TD= 401m) was drilled close to the South End Inferred Resource and intersected strongly clay-altered sediments and tuffs within the lower Pyramid volcanic sequence. Anomalous gold (50-699ppb) and mercury (+1ppm) occur in this rock sequence before passing into unaltered Mesozoic basement rocks at 279m depth. Hole WM17-098 (-75, 135 degrees, TD=634m) was drilled from the bottom of the Wind Mountain open pit and drilled through a portion of the previously defined resource, where assays in hole -098 returned 0-40m averaging 0.343g/t Au (0.510g/t Au-eq using a 70Ag:1Au ratio) as expected. Alteration, gold and pathfinder elements decreased to background levels and continued at these low levels down hole to 524m, below which assays are not expected until mid-February. Unaltered Mesozoic basement was intersected at 617m depth. Pyramid sediments are much less altered than similar sediments intersected in hole -097.
