The acquisition includes historical drill-tested copper-gold prospects at Tapuia and Gueroba, with an 8,400m drilling program planned to validate the data and support a potential maiden resource estimate. Reasoning: The company acquired a new copper-gold project with high-grade historical intercepts, though the data is not yet independently verified. - Positive factor: Strategic entry into a prolific IOCG district - Positive factor: Access to extensive historical dataset and drill core - Positive factor: High-grade historical intercepts reported - Negative factor: Historical data requires independent validation - Negative factor: True widths are unknown - Negative factor: Drill spacing is widely spaced Facts used in scoring: 6 ## Classification and evidence **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: True widths are not currently known for the historical intercepts. Evidence · text > true widths are unknown **No QA/QC Disclosure** Polarity: negative Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document. Why it applies: The release does not disclose independent verification of the historical OZ Minerals data. Evidence · text > Bravo has not yet completed its independent verification of these data **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: The project is located near Vale's Sossego mine and Cristalino deposit. Evidence · text > near Vale's Cu-Au Sossego mine and Cristalino deposit ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 6. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (6) ### OPCTD-011 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/bravo-expands-copper-gold-footprint-in-caraja-s-brazil--0bf80072-bf56-4844-905b-14e25072c398#fact-drill-facts-0) Canaã · copper Historical result Needs review: historical\_restatement #### Identity - Hole ID: OPCTD-011 - Project: Canaã - Commodity: copper - Region: brazil - Reported Region: brazil - Ticker: BRVO #### Geometry - Grade: 2.43 - Grade Unit: % - Intercept: 28.45 m - From: 241.55 m - To: 270 m - Intercept Depth: 241.55 m #### Classification - Deposit Type: iocg - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: OPCTD-011:241.55-270 - Mining Method: open\_pit #### Location - Location: Tapuia - Loc.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
