Bravo Mining Corp. has reported assay results from eight diamond drill holes totaling 2,655 metres at its 100% owned Luanga palladium-platinum-rhodium-gold-nickel deposit in the Carajás Mineral Province of Pará State, Brazil.

The latest drilling comprises seven holes from the Central Sector and one hole from the North Sector. Highlights include drill hole DDH26LU336 in the North Sector, which intersected 53.85 metres grading 2.83 g/t PGM+Au and 0.16% nickel from 90.20 metres downhole, including a higher-grade interval of 5.01 metres at 10.68 g/t PGM+Au and 0.40% nickel from 104.04 metres.

In the Central Sector, infill drilling on sections 1 and 2 targeted deeper mineralization to support upgrading Inferred mineral resources to the Indicated category. Extensional drilling on section 3, including hole DDH26LU342, extended the definition of the main sulphide zone to approximately 350 metres below surface, returning 36.65 metres at 3.05 g/t PGM+Au and 0.32% nickel from 374.70 metres downhole.

To date, Bravo has completed 447 drill holes for a cumulative total of 98,180 metres at the Luanga project. Assay results for 35 drill holes and six trenches remain pending.

“These results from infill and extensional drilling in the Central Sector continue to demonstrate potential to expand and upgrade Luanga's mineral resource. The results reported herein consistently show grades and/or thicknesses that, for the most part, are equal or better than those recorded in shallower drilling. The sections presented in this release illustrate the Central Sector's continuity and consistent thickness as we drill deeper,” said Luis Azevedo, Chairman and CEO. “The results of the ongoing drill program will form part of an updated Mineral Resource Estimate targeted for Q1 2027 following the planned publication of the Luanga PFS in Q3 2026. Concurrently, our Copper-Gold Team continues the geophysical program and drill target selection work. The team is also evaluating a number of opportunities that have the potential to expand the company's copper-gold footprint in the Carajás.”

The upcoming resource update forms part of the company's planned development timeline for the Brazilian asset, with the pre-feasibility study scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2026.
