VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 22, 2011) - Bravada Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE:BVA)(FRANKFURT:6BG) reported that it intends to conduct a financing of up to 30,000,000 units at $0.10 per unit for proceeds of up to $3,000,000, with each unit consisting of one common share and one-half warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable to purchase an additional common share for a price of $0.20 per share over a period of 24 months. The proceeds will be used to continue work at Wind Mountain that is necessary to bring the project through pre-feasibility and to conduct follow-up diamond drilling at East Manhattan.

The wholly owned Wind Mountain project is one of the Company's 22 Nevada properties (approximately 20,000 hectares) located along productive gold trends. Additional soil sampling has been completed and approximately 70 shallow holes are planned to in-fill and extend the Wind Mountain and Breeze deposits, which is expected to begin in late March when a reverse-circulation drill contractor is available. These holes will test structures that appear to host higher-than-average grade for the deposit, but are currently drilled too widely spaced to demonstrate continuity in the resource block model. Some of the drill samples will be tested to characterize waste material, which is necessary for mine permitting.

Large samples are currently being excavated for additional metallurgic testing. The metallurgical test work will include many important tests, some of which will continue over several months, to provide important information about crushing, reagent requirements, and recovery characteristics for in-place mineralization, as well as to help in determining the economic potential of historic waste piles and existing heaps.

Additional soil samples were collected in February that extend the soil survey conducted in January. The survey area lies north of the modelled $850 gold pit (see attached figure and news release NR-05-10 dated April 13, 2010 for details of the Preliminary Economic Evaluation that describes the modelled gold pit) and delineates new shallow targets. The combined program consisted of 406 soil samples on a spacing of 50 metres. Gold values in the soils range from nil to 1.4 grams per tonne, with 29% of the samples containing +0.1 grams gold per tonne and 8% of the samples containing +0.3 grams gold per tonne. The area of the survey has generally poor rock exposure and has received very little previous drilling. Geologic mapping in this area continues as snow-conditions allow, and the permit is being modified to allow initial drill testing of the new targets, which lie at the intersection of northeast and northwest 'feeder' faults.

Drilling is planned to begin mid April at the wholly owned East Manhattan project and will consist of five core holes, approximately 1000 metres, to offset encouraging intercepts of gold in the Company's previously drilled reverse-circulation holes. For example, Hole EM08010 contains two significant intervals: estimated true thicknesses of 11.25m of 2.868g/t Au at 91.4m depth followed by 11.25m of 0.805g/t Au at 118.9m depth.

Update on Other Projects

In order to focus on their newly acquired Tallapoosa project, Gunpoint Exploration Limited (formerly Christopher James Gold Corp.) has notified the Company that it is relinquishing its options for the Highland and Buz projects, but retaining its option for the Zebra project. Extensive geophysical surveys were funded at Highland during earn-in, identifying targets that are now permitted and bonded for drilling. Several companies have indicated an interest in optioning the property and are now evaluating data.

Data compilation continues at the Quito and Colorback properties, where 3D computer modelling will begin after databases have been completed and verified for accuracy. Drill testing of initial targets is being planned at Quito for August and possibly at Colorback in the fall.
