Brasnova Energy Materials Inc. Field Activities Initiated at Capela Gold Project, Bahia, Brazil
Brasnova Advances Capela Gold Exploration Amidst Capital Constraints and Dilutive Financing

Executive Summary
- Capela Gold Project Progress: Brasnova Energy Materials Inc. officially commenced field activities at the Capela Gold Project in Bahia, Brazil on April 28, 2026 (announced May 11, 2026).
- Exploration Scope: The program focuses on systematic rock and soil sampling to validate previous reconnaissance results showing gold up to 1.37 g/t Au.
- Technical Oversight: Work is supervised by Qualified Person Carlos Henrique Lourenço Bastos under NI 43-101 standards, following the March 2026 appointment of a QP.
- Project Context: The project sits in a significant gold district near Pan American Silver's Jacobina complex and Equinox Gold's Santa Luz Bahia complex.
- Geological Targets: Focus is on dome-shaped intrusive granodioritic systems with hydrothermal alteration, sulphide-bearing outcrops, and quartz-sulphide veinlets.
Material Impact
- Execution of Plan: The news confirms the execution of the exploration program announced in March 2026 (News ID 98971/99065). It is not unexpected information but rather a status update on an already disclosed timeline.
- Valuation Impact: No new assay results or resource estimates are provided, only field initiation. Therefore, the immediate impact on valuation is neutral to slightly positive as it validates management's ability to execute.
- Capital Context: The company recently closed the first tranche of a $750,000 financing ($238,800 raised in April 2026). This news does not indicate new capital raising but rather the deployment of existing funds into exploration.
- Risk Profile: The project remains at an early reconnaissance stage; field sampling precedes drilling. No material change to risk profile compared to March announcements.
