Bellavista Resources Limited advised that it is about to embark on the next phase of exploration at its Brumby zinc-silver-copper project in WA, with a key focus on several new promising targets. The Company also advises that, in light of the exploration results so far, it has moved to secure two new highly promising land positions, one to the south and one to the east of its existing Brumby tenements. One of the new land positions has been granted and sits east of Galena Mining's Abra Base Metals Mine, where production started recently.

This tenement comprises the entire extent of the highly prospective and underexplored Coodardoo Anticline, believed to be the eastern closure of the Abra anticline, over the same lithostratigraphic units. The other tenement (still in application) is located to the east of the main Brumby Prospect, over the same stratigraphy and in another similar anti-form closure. Bellavista considers both areas prospective for near surface copper, SEDEX and Abra-Style mineralisation.

Field Season Commencing: Over the summer period, Bellavista's technical team has undertaken a comprehensive review of the work completed since listing in late May 2022. From this work, and reviewing results received so far, a series of exciting new targets have emerged, and additional tenement acquisitions have been undertaken. Programs of both RC and diamond drilling of approximately 8,500m of drilling in total are initially planned for this field season, with the first program of the year consisting of 1,500m of diamond drilling.

Subject to any late cyclone events affecting the region, this program is expected to commence this quarter. Regionally, the Company has commissioned consultant geologist Marcus Harden to evaluate the historic and publicly available data, with the aim of prioritising areas for follow-up field programs, including greenfield conceptual targets through to drill ready targets that can be tested this field season. The surface copper target, the significant Kiangi uranium trend, the Vernon base metals and Vernon nickel/PGE targets will all be assessed as part of his review.

Additional targets outside of the Brumby zinc-silver zone will be tested this field season, including the Vernon base metals area (historic rock chips up to 7.2% Zn and 0.96% Cu), Kiangi Uranium trend (historic rock chips up to 0.12% U) and the significant broad outcropping copper zone (BVR rock chips include 2.6% Cu + 54g/t Ag, 1.95% Cu and 1.26% Cu). New Tenement Acquisitions: In light of the encouraging early results at Brumby, the Company has bolstered its tenement position in the region with two new tenement applications. E52/4196 covers 605km² and sits east of Galena Mining's Abra Base Metals Mine, where production started recently.

This tenement comprises the entire extent of the highly prospective and underexplored Coodardoo Anticline, believed to be the eastern closure of the Abra anticline, and covers the same lithostratigraphic units that host the Abra Deposit. The other tenement (E52/4194 -still in application) replaces previous application E52/4049 with an additional 193km included. The additional application area is located directly east of the main Brumby Prospect, over the same stratigraphy, and covering the opposite anti-form closure to the east.

Bellavista considers both areas highly prospective for near surface copper, SEDEX and Abra-Style mineralisation, with little evidence of (or no) previous exploration for precious and base metals. Drilling to date: All laboratory assay results from the Phase 1 program have now been received. As expected, the results correlate very well with the previously reported MinalyzeTM continuous XRF data for the remaining holes.

Key findings from the drilling so far are the emergence of vectors to high-grade mineralisation: MinalyzeTM continuous XRF has confirmed the presence of high-grade base metal mineralisation at Brumby, with XRF readings so far peaking at 5.8% Zinc (BRDD0005) and 3.3% Copper (BRDD0003), on decimetre (10cm) scale SEDEX cycles. These mineralised cycles demonstrate potential for larger zones of high grade mineralisation. New and highly encouraging evidence of sulphide nickel mineralised system with up to 2.1% Nickel noted in a fault-related breccia (BRDD0002).

Overall base metal grade increases in closer proximity to important known regional structures (mantle tapping mineralised structures).
