Bravo Mining (TSXV:BRVO) has announced assay results from a group of twenty-one diamond drill holes, which includes initial eight from Phase 2 Program aimed at identifying potential extension of the mineralization. The depth of this mineralization has been recorded approximately twice as deep, at 300m below the surface, than was discovered in the company’s Phase 1 Program.
Luis Azevedo, Chairman and CEO of Bravo Mining, commented in a press release: “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. Drill hole DDH23LU184 has intercepted additional evidence of magmatic nickel sulphide mineralization in the Southwest Sector, further supporting the potential for nickel sulphides at depth at Luanga. We continue to be encouraged with such results, particularly as we await the final data interpretation of the recently completed HeliTEM survey, where preliminarily data interpretation suggests promising anomalies are present.”
The newly released assay results include those from five drill holes in the Southwest Sector, eleven from the Central Sector, and five from the North Sector of Luanga Project, owned solely by Bravo Mining. These findings corroborate that the mineralization maintains its depth, similar thickness, and grades, as compared to both the company’s Phase 1 drill program and historic drilling in the neighboring sections.
In the Southwest Sector, a new zone of magmatic nickel sulphide mineralization has been identified, with a 3.2m stretch of massive and semi-massive sulphides intercepted in the drill hole labeled DDH23LU184. The assay findings are consistent with the historical outcomes for platinum group metals (PGMs) when juxtaposed with the historic drilling in the nearby sections.
As of now, Bravo Mining has successfully completed a total of 197 drill holes, with 62 carried out in 2023, totalling to a length of 37,645 meters. This includes all eight twin holes and metallurgical holes planned by the company. A total of 169 Bravo drill holes’ results have been declared so far. There are 20 pending results from completed drill holes (excluding metallurgical ones), as per the company’s announcement.
Highlights from the results are as follows:
- 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.

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. |

Bravo Mining (TSXV:BRVO) has reported new assay results from the Luanga palladium + platinum + rhodium + gold + nickel project, from eight diamond drill holes in the Central and North Sectors. The discovery highlights the nickel sulphide potential of the project which is located in the Carajás Mineral Province, state of Pará, Brazil.
Two DDH in the Central Sector of the project identified a new zone and style of nickel sulphide mineralization. Follow-up drilling has intersected higher-grade nickel sulphide 50m to the north and south of the North Sector with some evidence indicating potential extensions toward the south.
Luis Azevedo, Chairman and CEO of Bravo Mining, commented in a press release: “Today’s results demonstrate the potential for higher-grade nickel ± copper sulphides at Luanga, underlie the existing ~8.1km strike of PGM+Au+Ni mineralization intersected in shallow historic drilling. We are at the early stages of understanding the distribution of, and controls on, this potential new style of nickel ± copper sulphide mineralization, which has now been intersected in both the North and Central Sectors,” he said. “We are very positive about the potential below Luanga and have deployed geophysical tools aimed at detecting this style of mineralization. Work is continuing and aims to drill test future geophysical targets in 2023.”
Highlights from the results are as follows:
- Highlights include 27.7m @ 0.62g/t PGM+Au, 0.62% Ni (Including 4.6m @ 1.12g/t PGM+Au plus 1.12% Ni),
- And: 25.3m @ 1.14g/t PGM+Au, 0.42% Ni, 0.34% Cu (Including 3.4m @ 2.12g/t PGM+Au, 0.84% Ni, 0.34% Cu)
- Follow up, step-out drilling to the massive nickel/copper sulphides intercepted in DDH22LU047 (August 16th, 2022 news release) intersected nickel/copper sulphides along strike, 50m to the north and to the south. Electromagnetics (EM) has identified conductors trending to the south where surface EM is ongoing.
- Drilling in the Central Sector of Luanga has intersected a new zone and style of nickel sulphide mineralization, potentially magmatic nickel sulphide mineralization. It occurs within a different rock-type than the PGM+Au+Ni mineralization at Luanga – further increasing the exploration prospectivity of Luanga. EM surveying is expected to begin shortly.
- A noticeable change in PGM chemistry (significantly higher rhodium to palladium ratio) has been identified in most assay results from both nickel sulphide zones. This also points to a new style of mineralization and provides another possible vector into higher nickel sulphide zones.
