Highlights include 3.2m at 2.86g/t PGM+Au, 1.81% Ni, and 0.18% Cu from 59.1m; 43m at 2.34g/t PGM+Au, 0.29% Ni from 246.8m, and 11m at 5.02g/t PGM+Au, 0.27% Ni from 271.4m
"The Phase 2 drill program is progressing as planned with initial results indicating PGM+Au+Ni mineralization is present as expected from ~150m to ~300m below surface (see Figures 3 and 4) with comparable thicknesses and grades to those intercepted at shallower depths tested during our Phase 1 Program," said
Highlights Include:
- DDH23LU184 returned further evidence of massive sulphide nickel in the Southwest Sector (Figure 1).
- First results from deeper drilling (Phase 2 Program) in the Central Sector have successfully identified mineralization to depths of up to ~300m below surface (Figures 3 and 4) with similar thicknesses and grades (PGM+Au and Ni Sulphide) as those in shallower Bravo drilling on the same sections.
- HeliTEM (airborne electromagnetics) was completed over the entire (7.810ha) Luanga project. Preliminary data shows that promising anomalies are present. Final data (expected soon) will enable full interpretation.

Luanga Drilling Update
Results from a further twenty-one diamond drill holes have been received, including the first eight drill holes from the Phase 2 Program targeting potential extensions of PGM+Au+Ni mineralization down to approximately 300m below surface, or twice as deep as Bravo drilled in Phase 1. Results from five drill holes are from the Southwest Sector, eleven from the Central Sector, and five from the North Sector are reported in this news release. Results confirm that mineralization extends to depth at similar thicknesses and grades to intercepts in historic drilling on nearby drill sections, and in Bravo's Phase 1 drill program.
In the Southwest Sector, another zone of magmatic nickel sulphide mineralization has been intersected, with 3.2m of massive and semi-massive sulphides intercepted in DDH23LU184 (Figure 1), providing further evidence of magmatic nickel sulphides in the Southwest Sector. Assay results also show consistency with historical results for PGMs compared with intercepts in historic drilling on neighbouring drill sections.
Section 1 (Figure 3) in the
A total of 197 drill holes (62 in 2023) have been completed by Bravo to date, for 37,645 metres, including all 8 planned twin holes and all 8 metallurgical holes (not subject to routine assaying).
Results have been reported for 169 Bravo drill holes to date. Results for 20 Bravo drill holes are currently outstanding (excluding the metallurgical holes). Completed drill holes with results pending are highlighted on Figure 4.

Notes: | All 'From', 'To' depths, and 'Thicknesses' are downhole. 'NA' Not applicable for Oxide material. |
Given the orientation of the hole and the mineralization, the intercepts are estimated to 110% to 120% of true thickness. | |
Type: Ox = Oxide. LS = Low Sulphur. FR = Fresh Rock. Recovery methods and results will differ based on the type of mineralization. | |
* Bravo's nickel grades are sulphide nickel, and do not include non-recoverable silicate nickel, unlike historical total nickel assays | |

Forward Looking Statements
This news release contains forward-looking information which is not comprised of historical facts. Forward-looking information is characterized by words such as "compare well", "elevated", "anticipated", "future results", "continue", "potential", "Successful", "interpretation", "anomalies", variants of these words and other similar words, phrases, or statements that certain events or conditions "may" or "will" occur. This news release contains forward-looking information pertaining to the Company's ongoing drill program and the results thereof including the potential for additional massive Ni sulphides in the Southwest Sector; elevated Ni sulphide grades and the interpretation of a single main mineralized zone in the Central Sector; the comparisons to historical and prior Bravo drilling; the preliminary results of airborne geophysical surveys and whether any preliminary or future interpretations of anomalies are related to mineralization; the potential for extensions to mineralization at depth; and the Company's plans in respect thereof. Forward-looking information involves risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events, results, and opportunities to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking information include, but are not limited to, unexpected results from exploration programs, changes in the state of equity and debt markets, fluctuations in commodity prices, delays in obtaining required regulatory or governmental approvals, environmental risks, limitations on insurance coverage; and other risks and uncertainties involved in the mineral exploration and development industry. Forward-looking information in this news release is based on the opinions and assumptions of management considered reasonable as of the date hereof, including, but not limited to, the assumption that the assay results confirm that the interpreted mineralization contains significant values of nickel, PGMs and Au; that the mineralization remains open to depth, that Ni grades are improving to depth, that final drill and assay results will be in line with management's expectations; that activities will not be adversely disrupted or impeded by regulatory, political, community, economic, environmental and/or healthy and safety risks; that the

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 Pará,
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.
