Cabral Gold Drills 55.1m @ 1.1 g/t Gold Including 5m @ 6.1 g/t Gold, and Identifies a Third Gold-in-Oxide Blanket Within Cuiú Cuiú Gold District

In This Article:

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 27, 2022) - Cabral Gold Inc. (TSXV: CBR) (OTC PINK: CBGZF) ("Cabral" or the "Company") is pleased to provide assay results from an initial 12 RC drill holes and three diamond holes drilled within and above the Central gold deposit within the Cuiú Cuiú gold district in northern Brazil.

Highlights are as follows:

  • DDH251, intersected gold-in-oxide mineralization at the Central deposit, and returned

    • 55.1m @ 1.1 g/t gold from 4.9m depth
      including 5m @ 6.1 g/t gold

    • and 15.5m @ 1.7 g/t gold from 65.8m depth

    • and 3.5m @ 0.8 g/t gold from 81.3m depth in un-weathered and highly brecciate and altered intrusive rocks beneath the oxidation

  • DDH247, also drilled at Central, returned 11.0m @ 0.7 g/t gold from surface, in gold-in-oxide blanket material, as well as 20.4m @ 0.5 g/t gold and 23.3m @ 0.3 g/t gold in un-weathered and highly brecciate and altered intrusive rocks further down the hole

  • Results on an initial 10 shallow RC holes drilled within and around the northern part of the Central deposit, revealed a thin but consistent gold-in-oxide blanket. Results of note include RC259 which returned 26m @ 0.4 g/t gold in oxidized material from surface

Alan Carter, Cabral's President and CEO commented, "The results from the initial drilling at the Central gold deposit clearly demonstrate that we have a significant zone of gold-in-oxide mineralization forming a blanket above the primary Central deposit. This is the third gold-in-oxide blanket identified at Cuiú Cuiú since the initial discovery at MG in April of last year, and these recent discoveries are in addition to the two existing hard-rock deposits with resources at Cuiú Cuiú. At this stage, we do not know the extent of the blanket or how much of this material at Central is in-situ weathered primary gold mineralization, and how much is transported cover material. Nevertheless, both types of material are expected to add significantly to the inventory of potentially leachable gold-in-oxide deposits recently identified at MG and PDM. Additional drilling over the next months is expected to further define the limits of the oxide material at Central, whilst providing further definition of the high-grade zones within the underlying primary deposit at Central."

Central Diamond-Drill Results

The Central gold deposit is located 2.5km SE of the PDM target (Figure 1). Recent drilling at PDM returned 22.4m @ 4.8 g/t gold and 11.9m @ 3.3 g/t gold in altered and brecciated granitic rocks beneath an extensive gold-in-oxide blanket (see press releases dated December 15, 2021 and January 12, 2022).
