"On behalf of the Board and management, I would also like to express our sincere appreciation to Stuart for his significant contributions since the Company's inception. With a successful track record in the development of platinum group metal (PGM) deposits, Stuart played a critical role in technically vetting the Luanga Project for acquisition by Bravo and developing our team's knowledge of PGM systems. His insight, dedication, and thoughtful guidance have been instrumental to our success, and we are pleased that his expertise will remain close to us in an advisory capacity."

Ms. Naudie stated: "Having spent my career assessing mining investments around the world, I recognize how rare it is to find a project like Luanga - an asset with scale, grade, growth, and discovery potential in critical metals, located in a top-tier jurisdiction. Bravo's highly experienced team, with a proven track record of successful local execution and a solid financial position, has the Company exceptionally well-placed for success. I am excited to join the Board and support Bravo as it advances this outstanding opportunity."

About Bravo Mining Corp.

Bravo is a Canadian and Brazil-based mineral exploration and development company focused on advancing its PGM+Au+Ni Luanga Project, as well as our Cu-Au +/- Ni exploration opportunities in the world-class Carajás Mineral Province, Para State, Brazil.

Bravo is one of the most experienced explorers in Carajás. The team, comprising of local and international geologists, has a proven track record of PGM, nickel, and copper discoveries in the region. They have successfully taken a past IOCG greenfield project from discovery to development and production in the Carajás.

The Luanga Project is situated on mature freehold farming land and benefits from being located close to operating mines and a mining-experienced workforce, with excellent access and proximity to existing infrastructure, including road, rail, ports, and hydroelectric grid power. Bravo's current Environmental, Social and Governance activities includes planting more than 35,000 high-value trees in and around the project area, while hiring and contracting locally.

In 2025, the Luanga Project was granted a preliminary licence (see news release dated March 3, 2025) for the development of the project. Combined with the recently updated Mineral Resource Estimate which increased both tonnes and grade (see news release dated February 18, 2025), this places Luanga at the forefront of potential future PGM+Au+Ni projects globally, while benefitting from extensive infrastructure (including road, rail and low cost, reliable hydro power), an experienced work force, shallow depths amenable to potential open pit extraction, and in a geopolitically favourable location close to end-user markets.

Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
