Woewodski Program Commences
Bravo Venture Group Inc. reported today that Bravo’s 2007 exploration program has commenced at Woewodski
Island in southeast Alaska. The company said final permits have been issued, exploration crews are on site and
diamond drill equipment is en route for a planned 2,400 metre drill program.
The 2007 exploration program is targeting gold prospects along the western and southern margins of Woewodski
Island and VMS targets in the central and southern portions of the island. In addition to drill testing on three
main target areas, the company plans surface geophysical surveys, surface sampling and mapping on multiple
gold and massive sulphide occurrences throughout the 11km x 7km island. Surface gravity geophysics over the
East Lake target already has been completed and an initial phase of surface soil and rock chip sampling in the
southern part of the island has identified a previously unrecognized epithermal occurrence to the south of the Red
Quartz target area.
Blue Quartz Targets
Two prospects along the 400 metre long Blue Quartz trend have been targeted for immediate shallow drill
testing. Up to 600 metres of drilling is anticipated on the Matt’s Trench prospect where values of up to 542g/t
(14.3oz/t) were returned from float and rubble outcrop samples (see NR-20-06). An additional 600 metres of
drilling is scheduled to test the Miami Beach prospect where large volume chip and channel samples (10 to 20
kg) of several individual veins returned values from 2.7g/t to 9.1g/t Au and select chip samples up to 49.5g/t Au.
Surface exploration will continue on the nearby Krause’s and Virginia gold-quartz vein occurrences in
anticipation of drill testing, if warranted, later in the program.
Red Quartz Zone
Surface work on the Red Quartz target continues to highlight the potential of this zone which can now be traced
via a series of discontinuous exposures for up to 500 metres strike length. Previous sampling by Bravo has
identified >1g/t Au (up to 3.8g/t Au) in 13 of 30 select chip samples with strongly-enriched silver values (from
17.8 to 91.3g/t Ag) in eight of these samples. In addition, Au assay results from recent sampling have identified a
new epithermal gold-vein occurrence located approximately 500m to the south of the Red Quartz trend. The
initial four rock chip samples have returned values from 0.9g/t to 5.6g/t Au. ICP results, including Ag assays, are
still pending. Follow-up sampling and trenching will continue to define size and extent of this second goldbearing epithermal occurrence.
Gold mineralization at Red Quartz has a strong association with elevated Ag, As and Sb values, which is in sharp
contrast to the relatively low values of silver and pathfinder elements typically associated with gold
mineralization in the blue quartz veins. The recent identification of quartz-after-calcite, and druzy and banded
quartz provide textural evidence of boiling within an epithermal environment. Up to 600 metres of drill testing is
anticipated on this target as part of the 2007 exploration program. Surface sampling and mapping will continue in
order to refine additional drill targets along the full 500 metre strike length.

East Lake VMS
A surface gravity geophysics program on the East Lake VMS prospect, located in the central part of the island
also has just been completed and up to 10 line-kilometers of detailed IP geophysics has been scheduled for the
latter part of June. Previous exploration on the prospect has identified well-preserved Late Triassic volcanic and
sedimentary stratigraphy and a series of strong east west-trending EM conductors within the East Lake basin.
Argillitic rocks hosting broad intervals of base-metal and precious-metal enriched iron sulphides occur both on
surface and in drill intercepts with grades up to 3.3m of 4.2g/t Au and 4.68% Zn identified in historic (noncompliant NI43-101) drilling. Up to 800 metres of drilling is anticipated as follow-up to the geophysical targeting.
Woewodski Island
The Woewodski Island Project is comprised of 501 Federal claims and three State claims covering 3260 hectares
in southeast Alaska in which Bravo may acquire a 100% interest. This “deep-water, tide-water” accessible
property is located approximately 30km SSW of Petersburg Alaska and includes over 13 syngenetic VMS and
gold-quartz vein targets all hosted within the same volcanic-sedimentary rocks that host the Green’s Creek,
Alaska and Windy Craggy, British Columbia VMS deposits and orogenic gold quartz veins at the Kensington
Mine near Juneau, Alaska.
About Bravo Venture Group Inc.
Bravo Venture Group Inc. is focused on exploring precious and base metal-rich projects within North America,
currently with properties in Nevada, Alaska, and British Columbia. The company has extensive holdings
strategically located within the Battle Mountain/Eureka “Cortez” gold trend in Nevada. The Homestake Ridge
project in British Columbia is a gold-rich epithermal/VMS-related vein system within Eskay Creek/SilbakPremier stratigraphy.
