Cabral Gold Drills New Mineralized Structure
Connecting PDM and Central Gold Deposits,
Cuiú Cuiú Gold District, Brazil
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 4, 2025) -
Cabral Gold Inc. (TSXV: CBR)
(OTCQB: CBGZF) ("Cabral" or the
"
Company
") is pleased to announce drill results from 17 shallow
reconnaissance RC drill holes at the previously untested Mutum target located 1300 metres NW of the
Central Gold deposit and 500 metres ("m") SE of the PDM gold discovery within the Cuiú Cuiú district.
Highlights
The Company has identified a new and previously unrecognized mineralized structure which
appears to extend for 1.8 kilometres ("km") in a NW-SE direction and connects the Central gold
deposit with the PDM gold discovery further to the north
Reconnaissance drill intercepts from the Mutum target, which is located 1.3km NW of the Central
gold deposit and 500m SE of the PDM gold discovery, include
8m
@ 1.32 grams per tonne
("g/t")
gold
from 43m depth in RC0602,
13m @ 0.83 g/t gold
from 11m depth in RC0604, and
multiple mineralized intervals including
4m @ 0.76 g/t gold
from 29m depth and
4m @ 1.06 g/t
gold
from 41m depth in RC0603
The mineralized structure at Mutum was identified on the basis of a recent airborne drone
magnetic survey over the area followed by follow up reconnaissance drilling. This survey revealed a
clear NW-trending structural corridor that was not visible in earlier airborne data
The Company has subsequently purchased its own in-house drone magnetic system and intends
to fly the entire Cuiú Cuiú district as quickly as possible in advance of additional reconnaissance
drilling, particularly along the new NW trending structure linking PDM with Central
Alan Carter, Cabral's President and CEO commented,
"The significance of the results from several of
the shallow reconnaissance drill holes recently completed at the previously untested Mutum target at
Cuiú Cuiú
cannot be overstated. These drill results are from a previously untested area located 1.3km
NW of the Central gold deposit and 500m SE of the PDM gold discovery, and indicate that a NW-
trending mineralized structure extending for 1.8km connects the two deposits. This opens up a very
large area of prospective ground between Central and PDM for follow up drilling.
The drone magnetic test survey that we recently completed has generated a lot of high-resolution
magnetic data that are much more effective at mapping mineralized structures than the existing fixed
wing airborne data. This will generate important advances in our understanding of the structural
controls on gold mineralization at other deposits and targets within the Cuiú Cuiú district."
Mutum RC Drill Results
The Mutum target is located approximately 500 to 700m south-east of the PDM gold discovery and
1.3km north-west of the Central gold deposit within the Cuiú Cuiú gold district. (Figure 1). Mutum, PDM
and Central are all located within a north-west trending corridor defined by anomalous gold-in-soil and
auger sampling.

The Central, MG, and JB gold deposits
are also shown together with the PDM, Machichie Main, Machichie NE and Jerimum Cima gold
discoveries. The main exploration targets (yellow dots) and distribution of historic placer gold workings
(pale yellow outlines) are also shown.

Previous surface trenching on the eastern side of the Mutum target returned
32m @ 1.0g/t gold, 25m @
0.9g/t gold and 16.5m @ 0.9g/t gold
. In addition, several isolated gold-in-auger anomalies occurred to
the south-west of the main Mutum target and include TR031 which returned 3m @ 0.31 g/t gold from 3m
depth and TR079 which returned 4m @ 0.89 g/t gold from 6.8m depth.
The Mutum target area is characterised by thick soil cover associated with a valley and low gold-in-soil
values. Thus far it has not been a high priority for follow up and has never been previously drill-tested.
The regional airborne magnetic data also revealed no obvious targets in this area.
However, recent drilling at the PDM target located 500m NW of Mutum, including drill results of
23m @
4.7 g/t gold
(See press releases dated September 25, 2025 and October 22, 2025), and the
recognition that PDM is very likely a significant gold deposit in its own right, has led to a re-examination
of the area between PDM and Central. Specifically, the Company conducted a drone magnetic test
survey at Mutum with the objective of acquiring higher resolution magnetic data by flying significantly
closer to the ground than the previous fixed wing airborne magnetic survey, which was flown at a
constant height. The objective of the test survey was to determine whether it would be possible to map
geological structures with the drone magnetic system.
The results from the drone magnetic survey were striking and significantly exceeded our expectations.
The test survey clearly shows a NW trending structure controlling the Central gold deposit extending NW
for at least 1.8km and connecting with the PDM gold discovery to the north-west (Figure 2). Whilst this
structure was not coincident with the area of anomalous gold values in trenching 300m to the north-east,
the structure is coincident with isolated gold-in-auger anomalies.
A total of 17 reconnaissance RC holes were completed in the Mutum area. Of these, 12 holes (RC0590
to RC0601) were drilled in the area of the anomalous trenches described above and returned only
narrow zones of low grade gold mineralization including
3m @ 2.80 g/t gold
in RC0591,
2m @ 1.43 g/t
gold in RC594, and
6m @ 0.56 g/t gold
and
3m @ 0.63 g/t gold
in RC0595 (Figure 2, Table 1).
Figure 2: Map showing the location of the Mutum target area and the Central gold deposit and the
PDM gold discovery - Background image is RTP magnetic data with area of drone test survey
highlighted. Note increased resolution within area of test survey and NW trending magnetic low
anomaly in blue indicative of a structure linking the Central gold deposit with the PDM discovery
1.8km to the north-west. The location of drill holes RC0602, RC0603 and RC0604, which all cut gold,
is also highlighted.

However, three shallow reconnaissance holes, RC0602, RC0603 and RC0604 that were drilled 300m to
the south-west on top of the structure evident from the drone magnetic survey and at the location of a
gold in auger anomaly all cut significant intervals of gold mineralization in saprolite. Specifically, RC0602
returned
8m @ 1.32 g/t gold
from 43m depth, RC0604 returned
13m @ 0.83 g/t gold
from 11m depth,
and RC0603 returned multiple low-grade intervals including
4m @ 0.76 g/t gold
from 29m depth and
4m @ 1.06 g/t gold
from 41m depth (Figures 3 and 4, Table 1).
It is important to note that this area has never been previously drill tested and these reconnaissance drill
results are from a recently identified structure which appears to directly connect the Central gold deposit
and the PDM discovery within the Cuiú Cuiú district. The nearest hole at PDM is 500m to the north-west
and the nearest hole at Central is 1.5km to the south-east.
Consequently, these results open up the
possibility that the intervening 1.8km strike length between Central and PDM could be mineralized.
In light of these results, the Company is planning a campaign of follow up RC drill holes along a series of
east-west traverses drilled perpendicular across the recently identified lineament which extends NW-SE
for 1.8km and appears to connect the Central gold deposit to the PDM discovery.
The Company has also purchased its own in-house drone magnetic system, which is now on site, and
intends to fly the entire Cuiú Cuiú district as quickly as possible. The exploration team believes that
based on the results from the Mutum area, drone-based magnetics have the potential to provide
important new insights into the structural controls on gold mineralization within the Cuiú Cuiú district.
