TORONTO, Nov. 12, 2025 -- Chibougamau Independent Mines Inc. (CBG-TSX-V in Canada, CLL1-Frankfurt, Stuttgart,
Berlin and Lang & Schwarz Stock Exchanges in Germany, CMAUF-OTC in the US), herein called Chibougamau, is
pleased to inform shareholders that Cerrado Gold Inc. has provided an update on the progress to the development of its Mont
Sorcier high purity magnetite iron project located on the traditional Cree Territory of Eeyou Istche James Bay in the
municipality of Chibougamau, Quebec. The Mont Sorcier project is currently in the later stages of a feasibility study which
Cerrado has targeted to be completed by Q2/2026. Chibougamau holds a 2% Gross Metal Royalty (GMR) on Iron and
Vanadium production from the Mont Sorcier Project .
The Key Updates to the Mont Sorcier Feasibility Study
• Cerrado stated that the feasibility study will contemplate a 60% increase in the production rate to 8 million
tonnes per annum vs. 5 million tonnes per annum in the PEA published September 8, 2022.
• Cerrado has indicated that a phased production start from 4 million tonnes per annum at the start to 8 million
tonnes per annum in approximately the 3rd year of production. This increase is forecasted to increase capital costs for
phase one by 30-40% relative to the PEA due to revised flow sheet design and infrastructure upsizing to meet the
eventual phase two throughput. Cerrado expects Phase 2 capital costs to be significantly lower due in part to the
construction of certain facilities in phase one which were previously planned to be constructed in phase two.
• Cerrado stated that the resource will see an additional 17,890 metres of resource definition drilling added to
the database, with some assays still pending.
• Cerrado anticipates the mine life will remain at 20 years despite the increase in through-put due to the expected
results of the next mineral resource update.
• Cerrado indicated that the Mont Sorcier project is progressing well to submit the projects ESIA in Q4/2026 and
are still confident that construction could start in mid 2028, if all permits and financing requirements are received.
Chibougamau is pleased to see Cerrado’s continued progress of the Mont Sorcier project feasibility study towards production.
