Dear fellow Shareholders,
Despite the global challenges of 2022,
In the past year at the
Luanga is undoubtedly exceeding our expectations and creating new opportunities as evidenced by the higher than expected rhodium values (7 of 39 holes showing results higher than 1g/t Rh) as well by the discovery of nickel-copper massive sulphide intercept with high-grade PGMs (11m @ 4.24 g/t 3PGM+Au plus 2.04% Ni and 1.23% Cu). Recently, we have also intercepted some very wide and high grade PGM and nickel zones (52.9m @ 2.14g/t 3PGM+Au plus 0.27% Ni, and 67.3m @ 1.35g/t PGM+Au plus 0.28% Ni).
These encouraging developments further increase our confidence in Luanga's potential to become a Tier 1 deposit. Luanga's full value will continue to be unlocked in 2023 as we complete our Phase 1 25,500m drill program and begin our Phase 2 21,500 drill program. We are diligently working on better understanding the scale of the

Working closely together, our board, management and staff are motivated to continuously improve the quality of our processes and work outcomes. The entire team not only shares the same values, but everyone is also very passionate about the job of making Bravo the best choice for those who want exposure to a world-class, lower risk source of palladium, platinum and rhodium, plus nickel and gold, that is outside of
Through our local activities, we are also proactively collaborating with the communities surrounding our project, generating much needed employment opportunities and supporting local youth in their arts and sports activities. The assistance provided to the younger generation in the villages of Serra Pelada and
On the environmental side, we have surpassed our target of planting 10 trees for each hole we drill. Our ambition is to plant 35,000 trees over the next 3.5 years to continue the environmental rehabilitation of the area.
We are well aware of how our initiatives can fundamentally transform the lives of local communities and stakeholders. We are also working to strengthen our relationship with local partners and suppliers to create a network to innovate ESG practices that will become embedded in the local culture.
As a reliable and well-respected corporate citizen of the community, Bravo is fostering trust and, more importantly, providing opportunity and hope for a better future in a region that was abandoned and neglected following one of the biggest gold rushes in the history of
Finally, I would like to thank our employees, directors and key contractors for their commitment to Bravo. It is their hard work, dedication and alignment to our strategy that enable us to deliver on our promises. I also want to thank you, our shareholders, for your continuing support, your confidence and above all for your trust. Now onto 2023!
