receiving the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. On Closing, Brazilian Gold
will own 84.05% of the Boa Vista Project, subject to the royalty agreements.
Boa Vista Project
The Boa Vista Project is a large property (12,889 Ha) located in the Tapajos
region of northern Brazil with extensive historic alluvial and lateritic
workings that was largely unexplored until 2010 when Brazilian Gold and their
joint venture partners started systematic exploration programs across the
property. The exploration programs quickly outlined a number of highly
prospective targets (Jair, Ze do Leicha, Almir, Planalto and Pistinha) and the
discovery of the VG1 gold deposit.
The maiden mineral resource estimate on the VG1 deposit was completed shortly
(16 months) after the discovery was reported in March 2011 (News Release 5/11
and 6/11). The mineral resource estimate outlined an inferred resource of 8.47
Mt grading 1.23 g/t gold (336,000 oz) at a 0.5 g/t cut-off and is based on
shallow (less than 150 m depth) and limited drilling (15 holes in 3,007 m) and
trenching (14 trenches in 2,229 m) of the eastern 600 m of an overall 2,000 m
gold-in-soil anomaly. The mineralization forms a coherent deposit that is not
significantly affected by changes in the cut-off grade near the declared mineral
resource grade of 0.5 g/t gold; the resource is open at depth and along strike
with a high potential to expand the existing mineral resource with additional
drilling. Coarse gold visible in some drill cores and trench samples, and
screened metallic analysis of selected trench and drill samples -suggests the
overall grade of the deposit could be higher when larger samples are mined and
processed.
Exploration programs (soil geochemistry, geophysics and limited drilling) have
covered approximately 25% of the property and further exploration programs are
planned to explore the remainder of the property, where numerous historic
garimpeiro workings have been identified. In addition, step-out and infill
drilling will be completed at the VG1 deposit to determine the limits of the
mineralization.
