Braeval Mining Corporation (TSX:BVL) ("Braeval Mining" or the "Company") is pleased to advise that it has today filed technical reports regarding the Guaynopa project in Mexico and Lithocaps project in Peru on www.sedar.com pursuant to National Instrument NI-43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. Braeval is also pleased to report information obtained from tunnel sampling and drilling work completed at its Snow Mine project.
Guaynopa Gold Skarn Project
The Guaynopa gold skarn project is located in the State of Chihuahua within the Sierra Madre Occidental precious metals mineral province of northern Mexico. The Corporation has optioned six mining concessions with a total area of 1,110.19 hectares in a region with known historic copper-gold workings.
Gold-bearing skarns at Guaynopa are observed in surface and old workings as tabular bodies attaining widths ranging from 1 to 10 meters and lengths from 2 to 50 meters. The skarn bodies are composed of massive magnetite with garnet and pyroxene. An overprinting hornblende-chlorite-calcite event contains 1% to 5% disseminated mixed sulphides (pyrite > chalcopyrite >> pyrrhotite + galena + sphalerite). The observed assemblage is typical of oxidized magnetite-gold skarns. The magnetite-rich bodies can occur as vertical fault-controlled feeders, as steeply dipping bodies along contact zones with the intrusive rocks, as gently dipping bodies on the bottom or the top of diorite sills, or on the top of the main diorite stock. Many prospects are known to occur along the NW flank of the intrusive stock.
Rock sample analyses indicate that gold mineralization is restricted to the magnetite > garnet-pyroxene-amphibole skarn assemblage that contains 1% to 5% disseminated sulphides (pyrite>chalcopyrite>>pyrrhotite), with gold values exceeding 2.5 g/t being accompanied by anomalous Cu-As-Mo-Bi-Ag contents. The best gold showings are located along the northern and western contacts between the diorite stock and its sedimentary host rocks. Other mineral occurrences were observed in veins, cutting the diorite stock at La Victoria prospect that is interpreted as an area with sub-horizontal sill bodies with potential to host high grade manto-type mineralization. Magnetic and IP geophysical surveys were completed on the Guaynopa project.
The geophysical grid consisted of a set of nineteen N/S lines spaced at 100 meters with an average line length of 3km. The magnetic survey totaled 51 line-km and the IP survey totaled 19.8 line-km.
The Morelos and Los Filos gold skarns in Guerrero are interpreted to be analogs for the Guaynopa skarn. Braeval Mining plans to carry out a drill program at Guaynopa to test outcropping and concealed gold skarn targets.
There are no mineral resource estimates at Guaynopa.
Lithocaps Project
The Huancavelica Lithocaps Project is located in the Provinces of Huancavelica and Castrovirreyna, Department of Huancavelica, Republic of Peru. The latitude and longitude for the Arcopunco Project is 13° 2' 18"S, 75° 2' 19"W, and the Terciopelo Project is at 12° 56' 4"S, 75° 2' 26"W. Altitudes in the project are between 3,600 m and 5,298 m above mean sea level. The project is about 245 km south east of Lima. Braeval Mining owns and has optioned 35 mining concessions and applications with a total area of 23,290 hectares. The projects are in the Huachocolpa mining district which has historical and active mining for silver, lead, zinc and copper.
The exploration targets in the Arcopunco and Terciopelo Projects are porphyry Cu ± Mo ± Au ± Ag deposits concealed beneath extensive zones of lithologically controlled advanced argillic alteration known as lithocaps. The lithocaps contain high sulfidation epithermal gold-silver mineralization, on which exploration by a previous company was focused, with low grade results. The lithocaps at Arcopunco and Terciopelo have been fairly deeply eroded to remove most of the stratovolcano morphology and expose higher temperature advanced argillic mineral assemblages, as well as patchy and wormy texture alteration. Quartz veinlets are present in and below the patchy texture alteration at both projects, shown in outcrop at Arcopunco and in drill core at Terciopelo. Previous drilling at Terciopelo has shown that patchy texture alteration overlies a porphyry system with phyllic and potassic alteration, thus validating the exploration model. Molybdenum is anomalous in the deep lithocap of both systems, with up to 0.037% Mo over 6.2 m at Arcopunco and 0.037% Mo over 39.4 m at Terciopelo. Braeval Mining plans to carry out programs of deep drilling in the Lithocaps Project to test the porphyry targets.
There are no mineral resource estimates at the Lithocaps Project.
Snow Mine Project
The results obtained from underground workings and the first two diamond drill holes are presented below. The location of the mine samples and drill holes is shown on Figure 1.
- A total of 150 rocks samples were taken in five artisanal underground mines named La Virgen, Los Barrera, Los Chuchacos, Dios Es Amor and La Nevera. The samples are channel samples varying in width from 0.2 m to 2.5 m, with an average of 0.97 m, as well as some bulk samples of mine production and one select sample. The sample values are reported in the following table.

- Results for a total of 61 core samples from diamond drill holes LNDDH010 and LNDDH011 have been received. The highlights are length-weighted average grades of 17.5 g/t gold over 2.35 m in hole LNDDH011, from 87.4 to 89.75 m, and 3.1 g/t gold over 0.9 m in hole LNDDH010 from 145.0 to 145.9 m. The holes were drilled at azimuths of 349° and 345° and inclinations of -55° and -46° respectively, with total lengths of 263.4 m and 149.7 m. The holes were drilled across the vein structures but the intersection widths do not necessarily represent the true width of the veins. The sample assays are reported in the following table:

Quality Assurance and Quality Control
The underground and drill core samples from the Snow Mine were prepared and assayed for gold by Activation Laboratories Ltd., which is independent of the Company, at their laboratory in Colombia. Gold was assayed by fire assay with atomic absorption spectrophotometer ("AAS") finish. Samples over 10 g/t gold were re-assayed by fire assay with gravimetric finish. A multielement package was analyzed by total acid digestion and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS). Blank, standard and duplicate samples were routinely inserted for quality assurance and quality control. In the case of duplicate analyses of a sample, the average of both analyses was used as the final reported value. Gold grades were not capped for calculation of length-weighted averages.
