Altamira Gold Receives Environmental Permit for Two Trial Mining Licences Within the Central Mineral Resource Area of the Cajueiro District, Brazil
Altamira Gold Receives Environmental Permit
for Two Trial Mining Licences Within the
Central Mineral Resource Area of the Cajueiro
District, Brazil
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 24, 2025) -
Altamira Gold Corp. (TSXV:
ALTA) (FSE: T6UP) (OTCQB: EQTRF),
("
Altamira
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to announce that it
has received an Environmental Installation License (Licença de Instalação, "LI") for trial mining with
respect to permits 850.224/2009 and 866.464/2017 from the Pará State Secretariat of Environment,
Climate and Sustainability (SEMAS/PA) for its Cajueiro Project, Pará State, Brazil.
Highlights:
The environmental process LI No 3651/2025 within permits 850.224/2009 and 866.464/2017, was
published on September 22, 2025, and is valid for two years until September 22, 2027. This
permit covers the northern part of the Central Resource Area (figures 2 and 3).
This license permits the Company to construct a plant which would initially process up to 100,000
tonnes of material per year across two mineral rights. The Baldo and Matrincha targets, both
located within the current mineral resource in the Central area, are potential sources of feed to a
trial mining operation.
Trial mining could potentially generate near-term cash flow, provide greater insight into the
structural controls on gold mineralization, and help refine the understanding of the deposit through
processing and reconciliation of mined material.
CEO Mike Bennett commented; "Receiving the Environmental Installation Permit for the Cajueiro
Project is an important milestone for the Company. While no decision has been made to proceed with
trial mining, the permit creates a pathway to such activities in the future. Trial mining could potentially
provide near-term cash flow, generate valuable geological information, and improve our
understanding of the gold mineralization at the Cajueiro Central deposit. We believe this could help
identify additional gold-bearing structures and further demonstrate the long-term potential of the
project."
CAJUEIRO PROJECT
The Cajueiro project is located approximately 75km NW of the town of Alta Floresta in the state of Mato
Grosso (Figure 1) in central western Brazil. The project is easily accessible by road, lies on open
farmland and has grid power and a local water supply. Cajueiro is the most advanced of the key projects
that Altamira controls in the region (Figure1).

The Cajueiro district consists of two independently estimated gold mineral resources at Cajueiro Central
and Maria Bonita, plus a series of eight additional untested exploration targets within a radius of 8km of
Cajueiro Central.
The Cajueiro Central area has a current open pit resource*
1
of 5.66Mt @ 1.02 g/t gold for a total of
185,000 oz in the Indicated Resource category and 12.66Mt @ 1.26 g/t gold for a total of 515,000 oz in
the Inferred Resource category (estimated using a cut-off grade of 0.25g/t Au and a gold price of
US$1,500/oz).
The Maria Bonita open-pit resource consists of Indicated Resources of 24.19Mt @ 0.46g/t gold (for a
total of 357,800oz) and Inferred Resources of 25.64Mt @ 0.44g/t gold (for a total of 362,400oz) *
2
.
These resources were calculated using a 0.2 g/t gold cut-off grade and a gold price of US$2,780/oz.
These resources include near-surface saprolite Indicated Resources of 2.02Mt @ 0.59g/t gold
(38,000oz) and Inferred Resources of 0.68Mt @ 0.40g/t gold (8,700oz).
The mineralized zone at Maria Bonita is interpreted as dipping to the south and is open down dip. The
best drillhole to date (MBA029) intersected
213m @ 0.8g/t gold from surface including 146 m @
1g/t gold
. A third phase of drilling is aimed at testing the area to the south and down-dip from the current
resource model.
The Maria Bonita porphyry gold deposit is interpreted as part of a district-scale, porphyry-related
mineralizing event. There are currently eight additional porphyry gold targets awaiting scout drill testing
over an 8km radius from the Cajueiro Central resource (Figure 2).

by later gabbroic dykes.

Granting of Environmental License in the Central Deposit
The license (LI No. 3651/2025) is valid until September 22, 2027, and authorizes the installation of
activities related to trial mining at Cajueiro. The permit covers the Baldo and Matrincha targets (Figure
3), two contiguous mineral rights granted by the National Mining Agency (ANM), with a combined area of
approximately 5,137 hectares. The license allows for up to 100,000 tonnes per year of trial mining
(50,000 tonnes under each ANM authorization).
The Baldo target corresponds to the Guia de Utilização ("GU") under ANM process No. 850.224/2009
whilst the Matrincha target corresponds to the GU under ANM process No. 866.464/2017. Both targets
are located within the state of Pará and lie within the currently defined mineral resource (reported under
National Instrument 43-101*
1
) in the Central area of the Cajueiro Project.

About Altamira Gold Corp.
The Company is focused on the exploration and development of gold and copper projects within western
central Brazil, strategically advancing five projects spanning over 100,000 hectares within the prolific
Juruena Gold Belt, an area that has historically yielded over 6 million ounces of placer gold**. The
Company's advanced Cajueiro project contains two gold deposits. The central area comprises NI 43-
101 resources of 5.66Mt @ 1.02 g/t gold for a total of 185,000 oz in the Indicated Resource category
and 12.66Mt @ 1.26 g/t gold for a total of 515,000oz in the Inferred Resource category. In addition, the
Maria Bonita gold deposit comprises additional open pit Indicated Resources of 24.19Mt @ 0.46g/t for
a total of 357,800oz, and Inferred Resources of 25.64Mt @ 0.44g/t for a total of 362,400oz.
Ongoing exploration and fieldwork at Cajueiro indicate the presence of multiple porphyry gold systems,
reinforcing its potential for district-scale development. These hard-rock gold sources align with historical
alluvial gold production, highlighting the region's exceptional gold endowment and potential scalability.
With two independently established mineral resources, a highly prospective geological setting and a
track record of significant discoveries, the Company is well-positioned to unlock further value across its
extensive land package.
