VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 18, 2009) - Bravo Venture Group Inc. (TSX VENTURE: BVG)(FRANKFURT: B6I) today announced the appointment of veteran mining executive Ken Thorsen, BSc, P.Eng, to the company's Board of Directors. Mr. Thorsen has had an extensive history in the mining business since 1962 during which he was involved with the discovery and development of six orebodies.

Most recently he held several senior positions with Teck Exploration Ltd. and Teck Corporation as Vice President of Teck Exploration Ltd. and General Manager of Teck Exploration worldwide. Subsequent to his retirement as President of Teck Exploration Ltd. in 2001 he serves as a Director of a number of public mining exploration companies.

Bravo chairman Lawrence Page noted that Mr. Thorsen will serve as an independent director and said that the company was fortunate to attract to its Board an individual with extensive exploration and mine development expertise to the Board.
