Bravada Announces Private Placement

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Oct. 5, 2011) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Bravada Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE:BVA)(FRANKFURT:BRT) reports today that it intends to conduct a financing by issuing up to 15,000,000 common shares at $0.05 per common share for gross proceeds of up to $750,000. Finder's fees may be payable. The private placement and finder's fees are subject to regulatory approval.

Net proceeds from the private placement will be utilized for geologic modeling, metallurgic test work, and archaeology studies that will be incorporated into an updated resource and preliminary economic evaluation for the Wind Mountain project, minor geologic work necessary to advance several other company projects, and for general working capital. An updated resource and Preliminary Economic Assessment are expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2012. Success of the 2011 drilling program, combined with increased prices of precious metals, indicates that the resource will increase significantly and the PEA will be much more robust than previously estimated.

About Wind Mountain
Wind Mountain property, a potential near-term producer with a 43-101 compliant resource and positive PEA, is at the pre-development stage. Recently the company completed 50 holes for a total of 4,108.5 metres. Assays are pending for three holes at the South Wind Pit Target and metallurgical, geological, and archaeological studies will continue over the next few months.
