All four holes that have been drilled to date as part of the 2021 drilling program have intersected mineralized structures below the current workings of the mine, which are only 350 metres below the portal.

Hole BRU-21-01 intersected 19.79 per cent copper and 98.6 g/t silver over 0.6 metres within a broader intersection of 5.12 per cent copper, 28.6 g/t silver, and 0.63 per cent gold over 3.4 metres.

The company has now intersected mineralized structures approximately 550 metres below the portal.

Ian Berzins, Braveheart president and CEO, commented, “We are extremely pleased with the initial results from this year’s drill program. Not only have we intersected high-grade copper mineralization below our current workings, but the silver and gold values appear to be increasing at depth relative to our current NI 43-101 Mineral Resource.”

The purpose of the 2021 drill program is to test the down-dip extension of the vein systems under current mine workings. Approximately 1,000 metres of drilling is planned for the second quarter.

Braveheart Resources is a Canadian junior mining company focused on building shareholder value through exploration and development.
