Cabral Gold (CBR.V): Drills 5.3m @ 27.6 g/t Gold Within the Machichie Main Zone, Cuiú Cuiú Gold District, Announces $2M Financing

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – October 24, 2022) – Cabral Gold Inc. (TSXV: CBR) (OTC Pink: CBGZF) (“Cabral” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide assay results from eight diamond-drill holes testing the Machichie Main zone within the Cuiú Cuiú gold district. The discoveries at the Machichie Complex were not included in the recent mineral resource estimate (see press release dated September 30, 2022).

Highlights are as follows:

• DDH310 returned the following intervals in fresh altered intrusive basement;

• 10.3m @ 3.0 g/t gold from 63.5m including 1.0m @ 27.6 g/t gold
• 5.3m @ 27.6 g/t gold from 87.1m including 0.5m @ 288.1 g/t gold
• 4.8m @ 1.6 g/t gold from 125.2m

• DDH312 returned 7.6m @ 4.7 g/t gold from 88.6m in fresh altered intrusive basement, including 1.0m @ 31.2 g/t gold

• DDH316 returned 4.6m @ 2.0 g/t gold from 110.4m and 0.8m @ 34.6 g/t gold from 133.2m

• DDH317 returned 0.5m @ 14.9 g/t gold from 100.5m and 0.6m @ 23.4 g/t gold from 176.2m. All of these occurred in n fresh altered intrusive basement

• These diamond-drill results from the Machichie Main zone provide further evidence of the continuity of the mineralized zone at depth and indicate that it also contains a significant amount of high-grade gold mineralization

Alan Carter, Cabral’s President and CEO commented, “The Machichie Main zone is part of the Machichie complex, which includes the Machichie Main zone, Machichie NE, Machichie SW and Machichie West targets. None of these targets were included in the recent updated mineral resource estimate. These additional drill results from the eastern part of the Machichie Main zone provide further proof of the presence of a significant mineralized zone with a high-grade component, which is open down-dip on every section and also along strike. These results build on other recent excellent drill results from the Machichie Main zone as the company works towards a maiden resource estimate for these targets.”

Machichie Main Zone Drill Results

The Machichie target is located 500m north-west of the MG gold deposit (Figure 1). Previous drilling at the Machichie Main zone identified a persistent mineralized zone which is east-trending and dips steeply to the north. This main zone consists of parallel high-grade core zones surrounded by a low-grade alteration envelope. This is similar in style to the bedrock gold deposits at MG and Central as well as the recently announced PDM basement discovery.

The current drill program testing the Machichie Main zone (Figure 2) was designed to extend the known zone of mineralization down-dip and along strike. All of the eight holes reported herein successfully intercepted significant intervals of mineralization down-dip, and included several high-grade intercepts.

Section E553105

DDH310 and DDH311 were drilled from the same platform in a northerly direction, and were designed to test down dip of DDH197 on section E553105 (Figure 3, Table 1).

DDH197 was the only hole previously drilled on section E553105. It was a shallow hole that cut three mineralized intervals including 4.5m @ 1.2 g/t gold, 1.5m @ 1.3 g/t gold and 2m @ 1.9 g/t gold. DDH310 and DDH311 both successfully extended all three zones down dip (Figure 3).

The results from DDH310 include 10.3m @ 3.0 g/t gold (Table 1) from 63.5m including 1.0m @ 27.6 g/t gold, 5.3m @ 27.6 g/t gold from 87.1m including 0.5m @ 288.1 g/t gold and 4.8m @ 1.6 g/t gold from 125.2m. In DDH310, the grade is significantly higher than all three mineralized zones encountered up dip in DDH197.

DDH311 was drilled at a higher angle from the same platform and cut the same three mineralized zones even further down dip returning 1.0m @ 3.0 g/t gold from 95.4m, 3.3m @ 2.3 g/t gold from 121.0m including 0.7m @ 9.0 g/t gold; and 2.1m @ 2.4 g/t gold from 155.5m.

Section E552900

DDH312 was drilled on section E552900 (Figure 4) testing the area between previous results from DDH299 and RC0060.

DDH312 intersected the mineralized zone as per projections at 88.6m and returned 7.6m @ 4.7 g/t gold including 1.0m @ 31.2 g/t gold. This further supports continuity of the Machichie mineralized zone down-dip.

Section E552735

DDH316 and DDH317 were drilled from the same platform on section E552735 from south to north. Two shallow diamond-drill holes had been previously drilled on this section (DDH180 and DDH181). Each of these two previous holes encountered a single mineralized zone at shallow depths. DDH181 cut 6.6m @ 1.6 g/t gold in fresh altered basement, while DDH180 intersected 1.1m @ 1.5 g/t gold in saprolite (Figure 5).

DDH316 encountered several mineralized zones down dip including 0.7m @ 1.5 g/t from 84.5m, 0.5m @ 2.2 g/t from 94.9m, 4.6m @ 2.0 g/t from 110.4m and 0.8m @ 34.6 g/t gold from 133.2m. The interval that returned 4.6m @ 2.0 g/t gold is interpreted to be the down-dip extension of the mineralized zone intersected in DDH180 and DDH181 suggesting the main mineralized zone extends 75m further down-dip. The deeper high-grade section which returned 0.8m @ 34.6 g/t gold, was not intersected in previous holes which were collared too far south to intersect this new parallel structure.

DDH317, located on the same platform, but drilled at a steeper angle, intercepted two narrow high-grade zones. It returned 0.5m @ 14.9 g/t gold from 100.5m and 0.6m @ 23.4 g/t gold from 176.2m. The deeper intercept is interpreted to be the down-dip extension of the new high-grade interval encountered in DDH316.

Interpretation

The results from these additional diamond-drill holes at the Machichie Main zone reaffirm that the mineralized zone remains open at depth, is continuous down-dip, and comprises several parallel zones. All of the sections described here are from the central eastern part of the mineralized zone, and indicate that the Machichie Main zone comprises a series of parallel high-grade zones occurring within a broader low-grade alteration zone as is the case with the Central and MG gold deposits.

Further drilling will be required prior to determining a maiden resource estimate for the Machichie Complex. There are now multiple mineralized zones within the Machichie Complex that may combine to form the next new significant gold deposit at Cuiú Cuiú. The recent trenching to the west suggests that the Machichie Main zone could extend over 900m from east to west, and the zone remains open further to the west. The northeast-trending vein array at Machichie West, and mineralization at Machichie NE remain open in all directions.
