Cabral Gold Drills 46.3m @ 2.2 g/t gold and
87.2m @ 1.3 g/t Gold at MG within the Cuiú
Cuiú Gold District
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 8, 2022) -
Cabral Gold Inc.
(TSXV: CBR)
(OTC Pink: CBGZF)
("Cabral" or the
"
Company
") is pleased to provide assay results from eleven
diamond-drill holes recently completed at the MG gold deposit within the Cuiú Cuiú gold
district in
northern Brazil.
Highlights are as follows:
DDH298 intersected
46.3m @ 2.2 g/t gold
within unweathered primary basement mineralization
from 103.2m, including
1.0m @ 82.4 g/t gold
from 120.0m
DDH295 intersected
87.2m @ 1.3 g/t gold
from 99.8m within primary hard-rock basement
mineralization, including
2.5m @ 8.5 g/t gold
from 103.4m and
14.5m @ 3.2 g/t gold
from
122.3m. The latter intercept included
1.0m @ 17.0 g/t
gold from 123.0m
DDH297 returned
39.4m @ 1.0 g/t
gold from 93.9m within primary unweathered basement
mineralization including
2.0m @ 7.5 g/t gold
from 130.0m
DDH289A returned
22.3m @ 1.6 g/t
gold from 22.7m within the weathered oxide basement
saprolite. The hole also intersected 11.7m @ 0.4 g/t gold from surface within gold-in-oxide blanket
material and 14.7m @ 0.8 g/t gold in fresh rock from 45.0m
Other significant mineralized intervals within primary unweathered basement material include
DDH287 returning
8.0m @ 1.0 g/t gold
from 63.6m, and
8.4m @ 1.4 g/t gold
from 76.2m in
DDH294
Alan Carter, Cabral's President and CEO, commented, "The on-going drill results from MG continue
to confirm the down-dip continuity of MG gold mineralization, particularly within the western part of the
deposit. They also suggest there may be other undrilled and steeply plunging higher-grade zones
within the overall MG gold deposit that are still to be discovered. The MG gold deposit remains open
at depth."
MG Diamond-Drill Results
Assay results were returned on eleven diamond-drill holes (DDH287, DDH289A, and DDH290 to
DDH298) that were recently completed within the MG gold deposit (Figure 1).

DDH289A, and DDH290 to DDH298) are also shown.

Section N9342970
DDH295 is the first hole to have been drilled parallel to the MG ore deposit. This hole was specifically
designed to test for both grade and structural continuity beneath one of the areas of higher-grade
mineralization.
DDH295, as shown on longitudinal Section N9342970 (Figures 1 and 2), intersected intense quartz
veining beneath the saprolite/unweathered contact. It returned
87.2m @ 1.3 g/t gold
within unweathered
hard-rock, including
2.5m @ 8.5 g/t gold
and
14.5m @ 3.2 g/t gold
, the latter of which also included
1.0m @ 17.0 g/t
(Table 1).
DDH295 successfully confirmed both grade and structural continuity. Higher-grade mineralization
remains open at depth and appears to have a moderately steep easterly plunge. The lateral extent of the
plunging zone also remains open on strike to the east and west.

Section E553060
DDH298 was drilled on section E553060 in the west-central part of the MG gold deposit (Figures 1 and
3). Previous RC drilling on this section had returned lower-grade intercepts, including 15m @ 0.4 g/t gold
and 14m @ 0.3 g/t gold in RC265.
DDH298 was drilled 75m downdip of RC265, and intersected
46.3m @ 2.2 g/t gold
from 103.2m within
primary hard-rock basement mineralization, including
1.0m @ 82.4 g/t gold
from 120.0m (Figures 1 and
3, Table 1). This is interpreted to be the same mineralized zone that was intersected in RC265, but is
significantly higher grade in DDH298. The hole may have encountered another plunging higher-grade
zone. The mineralized zone on section E553060 remains open down dip.

Section E552900
DDH297 was drilled on section E552900 in the western part of the MG gold deposit (Figures 1 and 4).
Previous drilling on this section had returned
19m @ 2.2 g/t gold
including 7m @ 4.5 g/t gold in RC237.
DDH297 intersected the same mineralized zone that was intersected in RC237 and returned
39.4m @
1.0 g/t
gold from 93.9m within primary hard-rock basement mineralization including
2.0m @ 7.5 g/t gold
from 130.0m (Figure 4, Table 1). This hole extends the mineralized zone at least 40m down-dip of the
intercept in RC237, and also extends the narrower higher-grade zone. The mineralized zone remains
open down-dip.

Interpretation
These recent drill results from the drill program at MG continue to demonstrate the down-dip continuity of
gold mineralization in the western and west-central part of the MG gold deposit. Tighter spaced drilling
has established potential plunges that may define higher-grade mineralization within the larger gold
deposit.
Drill results indicate that gold grades persist to depth. Isolated higher-grade intercepts encountered
elsewhere still need to be tested for plunge controls, whilst in other areas the drill spacing is still too wide
and may have missed higher grade shoots. The MG deposit remains open down-dip on every section
drilled to date.

Drilling / Resource Update
Results are pending on eight follow-up diamond-drill holes at Machichie.
Results are also pending on six diamond-drill holes at the Indio target.
The preparation of an updated resource estimate for the Cuiú Cuiú project is still in progress. The NI 43-
101 estimate is being carried out by SLR Consulting (Canada) Ltd. and is expected to be completed
during Q3 2022.
About Cabral Gold Inc.
The Company is a junior resource company engaged in the identification, exploration and development
of mineral properties, with a primary focus on gold properties located in Brazil.
The Company has a
100% interest in the Cuiú Cuiú gold district located in the Tapajós Region, within the state of Pará in
northern Brazil. Two gold deposits have so far been defined at Cuiú Cuiú and contain 43-101 compliant
Indicated resources of 5.9Mt @ 0.90 g/t (200,000 oz) and Inferred resources of 19.5Mt @ 1.24 g/t

The Tapajós Gold Province is the site of the largest gold rush in Brazil's history producing an estimated
30 to 50 million ounces of placer gold between 1978 and 1995. Cuiú Cuiú was the largest area of placer
workings in the Tapajós and produced an estimated 2Moz of placer gold historically.
