Bravada Signs Letter of Intent with Oceanagold for its Highland Gold/Silver Project in Nevada finance.yahoo.com NewsfileNovember 15, 2018 Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 15, 2018) - Bravada Gold Corporation (TSXV: BVA) (OTCQB: BGAVF) (FSE: BRTN) ("Bravada") announces that it has executed a Letter of Intent ("LOI") with OceanaGold Corp ("Oceana") whereby Oceana may earn up to a 75 percent interest in Bravada's low-sulfidation Highland gold/silver project, located within the Walker Lane Gold trend in western Nevada. The LOI sets terms for the earn in and includes an Exclusivity period until December 15, 2018 during which time Oceana will conduct additional due diligence for the Highland property and will negotiate a Definitive Agreement with Bravada. Oceana may earn a 51 percent interest by making certain cash or share payments and incurring aggregate exploration expenditures of US$4 million over five years. Oceana may increase its interest to 75 percent within four years of earning its 51% interest by incurring an additional US$6 million in exploration expenditures. Payments include advanced minimum royalty ("AMR") payments to underlying property vendors, claim fees, an initial cash payment of US$50,000 to Bravada and an additional US$200,000 payment to Bravada upon Oceana earning a 51% interest in the property. Payment to Bravada at 51% earn-in can be in cash or shares at Oceana's option. A technical committee composed of Oceana and Bravada personnel will recommend work programs with Oceana having the sole decision on program work and expenditures. The Highland property is subject to a 3% NSR royalty in favour of the underlying vendors of the property subject to a reduction of the royalty to 2% upon payment of US$1 million. All AMR payments will be deducted from production royalties. Approximately US$500,000 in AMR payments have been made to date. President Joe Kizis commented: "There is great potential at Highland to discover new, high-grade gold/silver deposits. Low-sulfidation deposits worldwide are among the highest-margin gold/silver deposits, and usually occur as clusters of similar-grade deposits of various sizes. Many of the deposits are exploited by small-footprint, underground mining and relatively benign milling operations. Highland's location in an established mining region in Nevada reduces risks associated with land tenure, logistics, and capital and operation costs when compared to many regions of the world. Oceana has an excellent record of discovery and production from low-sulfidation deposits, and we are fortunate to have a Company with such expertise advance our Highland project." About Highland The Highland low-sulfidation-type project consists of 102 Federal lode claims for a total of approximately 825 hectares and is located along the Walker Lane Gold trend. Previous drilling by Bravada's US subsidiary intersected vein zones with locally high-grade intercepts; the Company's best hole, H02013, intersected 1.5 meters (m) of 66.9 grams of gold per ton (g/t) and 397.7g/t silver within a 12.2m intercept of 9.5g/t gold and 109.4g/t silver, with true thicknesses estimated at 65% of the intervals. A thin layer of alluvial gravel covers much of the property and several targets have been identified that have not been previously tested with drilling. About Bravada Bravada is an exploration company with a portfolio of high-quality properties in Nevada, one of the best mining jurisdictions in the world. During the past 12 years the Company has successfully identified and advanced properties that have the potential to host high-margin deposits while successfully attracting partners to fund later stages of project development. With the addition of Oceana's option of Highland, four of Bravada's eleven Nevada properties are being funded by partners. As well, there are no NSR-type royalties to vendors that cannot be reduced. Bravada's value is underpinned by a substantial gold and silver resource with a positive PEA at Wind Mountain, and the Company has significant upside potential from possible new discoveries at its exploration properties, most of which host encouraging drill intercepts of gold and which already have drill targets developed by the Company. About OceanaGold OceanaGold Corporation is a mid-tier, high-margin, multinational gold producer with assets located in the Philippines, New Zealand and the United States. The Company's assets encompass the Didipio Gold-Copper Mine located on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. On the North Island of New Zealand, the Company operates the high-grade Waihi Gold Mine while on the South Island of New Zealand, the Company operates the largest gold mine in the country at the Macraes Goldfield which is made up of a series of open pit mines and the Frasers underground mine.

HAWKEYE Gold & Diamond: Gold and Copper Mineralization Discovered During Phase 2 Exploration at the McBride Property accesswire.com Monday, November 19, 2018 10:30 AM VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 19, 2018 / HAWKEYE Gold & Diamond Inc. (the "Company" or "HAWKEYE") (TSX-V: HAWK; Frankfurt Ticker: HGT; WKN: A12A61 ISIN: CA42016R3027): is pleased to announce assay results from its recently completed Phase 2 work program at HAWKEYE's 100% owned McBride property. The McBride property totals 4,133 hectares, is contiguous with the Red Chris Mine property of Imperial Metals to the south, and lies only 18 km east of GT Gold's exciting "Saddle" discovery, where recent drilling yielded an intercept of 1.02 g/t Au, 0.51% Cu and 1.72 g/t Ag over 363 m. The program was conducted on the Company's recently acquired claims announced on October 5, 2018 (News Release No. 297 - 2018), which border the northern and eastern sections of the original McBride claims. The campaign was designed to further assess mineral showings, both historical and newly discovered, that were examined during HAWKEYE's first phase program. A total of 11 mineralized rock samples were collected, mainly from the previously outlined two kilometer copper mineralized trend (see Figure 1 below). In the northeastern part of the trend, two samples from narrow copper-bearing carbonate veins hosted by a monzonite plug or large dyke returned 5.18 g/t gold and 0.97% Cu and 2.68 g/t Au and 0.86% Cu, respectively. Encouraging results were also returned along the copper trend, with samples returning copper grades ranging from 0.248 to 1.89%. Within the copper mineralized trend, a coincident 500 m wide by 2000 m long linear magnetic high was outlined by Geoscience B.C.'s Quest-Northwest Airborne Magnetic Survey (Figure 2). This magnetic high may reflect the presence of a partially covered monzonite intrusion. The copper and gold grades along the copper mineralized trend, together with widespread propylitic alteration and the coincident airborne magnetic high, may represent the upper and/or distal parts of a potentially sizeable porphyry copper-gold system at depth. A second magnetic anomaly consisting of an 1000 by 1000 m annular magnetic high, typical of Cu-Au porphyry deposits in this district, is located approximately 1.5 km southwest of the two-kilometer copper mineralized trend (Figure 2). A grab sample of hydrothermally altered intrusive rock collected about 600 m northwest of the magnetic high hosts fine grained disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite and yielded 527 ppm Cu. Nearby country rocks are moderately to strongly propylitically altered and are commonly dyked by quartz-carbonate-specularite veined and altered rhyolite, which may also be indicative of a nearby porphyry centre.

HAWKEYE is currently reviewing proposals for a 2019 airborne magnetic and radiometric survey, which, together with existing Phase 1 and 2 geochemical surveys, should help outline potential porphyry-related targets. More detailed follow-up soil geochemical and ground-based Induced Polarization geophysical surveys are planned for early in the 2019 season, with the aim of identifying specific targets for a 2019 drill program. All soil and rock samples were delivered directly by the crew to ALS Global's analytical facility in Terrace, B.C. for preparation, and subsequent precious metal and multi-element analysis in their North Vancouver laboratory. ALS Global in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, is a facility certified as ISO 9001:2008 and accredited to ISO / IEC 17025:2005 from the Standards Council of Canada.
