Zephyr Exploration Target - Two vertical scout holes were drilled to 183 meters and 133 meters depth, respectively, in this large, alluvial-covered area. Neither hole intersected the targeted host rock; however, overlying lake sediments contain long intervals of anomalous gold and silver (20-80ppb gold and 1-5ppm silver). These concentrations are similar to the values encountered in lake sediments that overlie the DeepMin resource. A gravity geophysical survey was conducted in December over the Zephyr target and is being interpreted to identify structures and basement highs that could represent silicified rock at shallow depths. Follow-up drilling is being planned for Q2-Q3 2013.
North Hill Exploration Target - Drill holes tested the alluvium-covered, down-dip projection of shallow, oxide mineralization of the North Hill deposit. Unfortunately, the mineralized horizon was eroded prior to being covered by alluvium, limiting the size of the resource at North Hill. This area will now be evaluated as a heap leach site, which should reduce operating costs compared to costs attributed to the site used in the 2012 PEA.

President Joe Kizis commented, "In addition to further drilling at Zephyr, we are developing other exploration targets designed to expand our existing resource with new deposits and extensions of known deposits. Drilling is expected to recommence Q1-Q2 2013, once targeting has been completed and permits have been modified."

Terra Rossa Gold Ltd. has notified Bravada that it will not continue with its option to earn an interest in the Signal property, located approximately 6km west of Barrick's Ruby Hill gold mine in the northwestern portion of the Eureka district. Terra Rossa reportedly drilled nine core holes on two targets west of shallow, Carlin-style gold mineralization that was identified previously by Bravada. The Company will evaluate Terra Rossa's data upon receipt in January.
