The LOI is to be superseded by a definitive agreement (the "Definitive
Agreement") to be executed on or before June 30, 2013 (or such other date as may

efficiencies and it is currently contemplated that the Proposed Transaction will
be completed as a triangular merger or direct acquisition pursuant to which
Bravura will acquire all of the outstanding shares of RedLion in exchange for
post-consolidation common shares issued on the basis of one post-consolidation
Bravura common share for each one outstanding RedLion common share. It is
contemplated that Bravura will also acquire all outstanding options and warrants
of RedLion in exchange for equivalent options and warrants, adjusted for the
applicable exchange ratio.


Trading in the common shares of Bravura (the "Bravura Shares") is halted at
present. It is the intention of the parties that the Bravura Shares will not
resume trading until the Proposed Transaction is completed and approved by the
TSXV.


About RedLion 

RedLion was incorporated on November 26th, 2010 under the laws of British
Columbia. RedLion is a privately-held junior exploration company that holds,
through its wholly-owned Colombian subsidiary Redlion Resources Colombia SA.S.
("RedLion Colombia"), a 50% interest in a registered mining concession known as
Quebrada Grande (the "Property"). The Property covers an area of 1,994 hectares
and is located in the department of Bolivar, Colombia. 


RedLion has also entered into an agreement in respect of six mining concessions
contiguous to the Quebrada Grande property, covering a total area of 11,101
hectares, under which it will have the option to acquire, upon certain payments
having been made, up to an 80% interest in the associated mining concessions
when and if such applications are approved.


Quebrada Grande and the contiguous applications (13,095 hectares in total) are
located in the north central part of the Segovia Batholith. The southern part of
the batholith contains the Segovia gold belt which hosts a number of large
producing mines. 


The property is associated with quartz veins and silicified breccias in
intrusive and volcanic rocks, and veins of up to 1.5m in width have been
identified as well as breccia zones greater than 30m in width and 100m in
length. 


Gold is being exploited by artisanal workers from at least 13 sites within the
boundaries of the Quebrada Grande Project and from numerous other locations in
the immediate neighborhood. RedLion's 2012 exploration program verified the
location and confirmed gold mineralization on 4 of these workings as well as
identified numerous large, intensive alteration zones.


Three composite grab samples collected during a 2012 exploration program from
veins being mined by artisanal miners contained values from 10.1 to 28.2 g/t Au.



A National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report in connection with the Property
has been commissioned and will be filed on SEDAR when Bravura files its
disclosure document with respect to the Proposed Transaction.


In addition to its exploration program and as part of its corporate philosophy
of sustainable mining and social responsibility RedLion is studying the
feasibility of incorporating an artisanal participation model ("APM") into its
long-term strategy. RedLion believes strongly that working with the community to
enhance current mining practices can have both a positive financial, and social
benefit to all the stakeholders concerned. At present, RedLion has evaluated and
identified the financial model, and has begun early discussions with some of the
key interest groups. RedLion intends to move forward with creating specific mine
inventories, and basic metallurgy with the goal of aggregating ore for resale or
processing when and if the company deems it economically viable.


Mr. Robert Cameron, P. Geo is a "qualified person" under National Instrument
43-101 and has reviewed the technical disclosure regarding RedLion in this Press
Release.
