Bravada Fully Permitted for Drilling at the Highland Project, Nevada

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 15, 2020) - Bravada Gold Corporation (TSXV: BVA) (the "Company" or "Bravada") announces it has received final approval of a drilling permit for its Highland gold/silver project, located in Nevada's prolific Walker Lane gold trend. The BLM permit allows for drilling on 12 sites over a two-year period, which can be extended for additional periods. Recent field work focused on two targets in the eastern portion of the Project: Big Hammer and Geyser, which are approximately 2.5km apart. For the remainder of 2020, two core holes are planned on the Big Hammer Target (See target concept figure below). A drilling contract has been signed, and the drill is expected to arrive on site in early to mid-August.

The 2020 exploration program is being funded by Option/Joint-Venture partner OceanaGold US Holdings Inc. ("OceanaGold"), a wholly owned subsidiary of OceanaGold Corp. OceanaGold may earn up to a 75% interest in the Project after expenditures of US$10 million following which Bravada will participate in joint-venture exploration and development on a 75/25% basis (for details, see News Release NR-09-18, December 20, 2018).

In other project news, Bravada has reviewed various next-step techniques to further refine the Feeder target at its wholly owned Wind Mountain project and has decided the most cost-effective approach is to drill a fence of angle reverse-circulation drill holes across the center of the target area. Modeling in 3D will be completed soon and the Company's existing permit will be modified to include the new drill sites. Drilling the fence of holes is being planned for late fall or early winter 2020.
