Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 5, 2026) - Bravada Gold Corporation (TSXV: BVA) ("Bravada" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has commenced an approximately 2,300 m drill program at its wholly owned Wind Mountain Gold Project in Nevada ("Wind Mountain" or the "Project").

Wind Mountain Drill Program

The drill program is comprised of two targets: historic waste dumps and extensions of the current resources, with many of the possible extensions beneath the dumps. The program includes 31 holes ranging from 7 to 30 m in depth to test historic waste dumps, with the objective of fully converting these dumps into resources. It also includes 16 holes, most of which will be extensions of the dump test holes, ranging from 60 to 210 m in depth to target resource expansion at the Wind and Breeze pits. Drilling will be completed using a single reverse-circulation drill rig utilizing a casing advance technique for the dump portions of the holes and is expected to be finished by the end of the third quarter.

Staking of Additional Claims

The Company has recently completed the staking of 60 new claims west of the deposit. The additional claims expand Wind Mountain's land position by nearly 50%, increasing the Project from 124 claims to 184 claims and bringing the total area to approximately 1,490 hectares (3,600 acres). The new claims strengthen the Project's exploration potential and cover areas being considered for heap-leach infrastructure in the upcoming updated PEA.

Updated PEA

The updated PEA remains on schedule, and results are expected to be announced in the third quarter.

Qualified Person

Joseph Anthony Kizis, Jr. (AIPG CPG-11513), Vice President of Exploration and a Director of Bravada Gold Corporation, is the qualified person responsible for reviewing and preparing the technical data presented in this release and has approved its disclosure.
