Cabral Gold Drills Three New High-Grade
Veins 300m North of MG Gold Deposit
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 6, 2021) -
Cabral Gold Inc.
(TSXV: CBR)
(OTC: CBGZF)
("Cabral" or the
"
Company
") is pleased to provide assay results from six follow-up
RC holes recently drilled at the Machichie SW target located 300m north of the MG gold deposit and
recent gold-in-oxide blanket discovery, and 180m south of the main Machichie zone within the Cuiú Cuiú
gold
district in northern Brazil.
Highlights are as follows:
Results have been received from six follow-up RC drill holes recently completed at the Machichie
SW target where six high-grade veins were previously identified. Recent drilling has identified
three new high-grade veins bringing the total number of mineralized structures at Machichie SW to
nine
Significant results include
1m @ 18.5 g/t gold, 2m @ 3.5 g/t gold, 3m @ 2.8 g/t gold,
and
1m @
18.3 g/t gold
. Recent drill results indicate down-dip continuity of grade in several of the high-grade
veins at Machichie SW
This new drilling was designed to follow-up limited previous drilling targeting several veins at
Machichie SW that had returned high-grade gold values including;
3.4m @ 36.9 g/t gold, 3m @
13.2 g/t gold,
and
3.3m @ 7.4 g/t gold
Alan Carter, Cabral's President and CEO commented, "The recent drilling at the Machichie SW vein
array has increased the number of known NE trending high-grade veins from six to nine and more
importantly is demonstrating down-dip continuity of high gold grades. The Machichie SW target area
is critically important because it is located midway between the MG gold deposit (300m to the south)
and the recently identified E-W trending mineralized zone at Machichie 180m to the north. We look
forward to the results of additional drilling on this target as we continue to outline the dimensions of the
various veins at Machichie SW"
Machichie SW RC Drilling
The Machichie SW target is located midway between the MG gold deposit (300m to the south) and the
main E-W trending mineralized zone at Machichie 180m to the north (Figure 1).

In 2020 Cabral identified a NE-trending high grade vein array comprised of at least six individual vein
structures at Machichie SW target. Six follow-up RC holes were recently drilled to test for the presence of
additional parallel veins, and to determine the down-dip continuity of high-grade gold mineralization
encountered in surface trenches and several earlier drillholes.
A total of six holes were previously drilled at this target testing several veins. Previous drill results include
3.4m @ 36.9 g/t gold including 0.7m @ 162.7 g/t gold
,
3m @ 13.2 g/t gold including 1.0m @ 36.7
g/t gold,
and
3.3m @ 7.4 g/t gold
(Figure 2).
Prior to the most recent drilling, only six NE trending veins had been identified in this area, which from
west to east are Filao de Amor, Machichie SW, Zezinho, Hamilton Novo, Maranahao W and Maranahao
E.
In this initial follow-up program, an additional six holes were drilled within the Machichie SW target area
(RC197 to RC202). Multiple mineralized zones were intersected in five of the six holes, notably
2m @
3.5 g/t gold
from 32.0 to 34.0m
1m @ 18.5 g/t gold
from 51.0 to 52.0m and
3m @ 2.8 g/t gold
from
95.0 to 98.0m in RC199,
1m @ 18.3 g/t gold
from 51.0 to 52.0m depth in RC201, and
1m @ 3.3g/t
gold
from 38.0 to 39.0m in RC202 (Table 1).
These results indicate the presence of three new high-grade vein structures within the Machiche SW
target area, bringing the total number of mineralized structures at Machichie SW to nine. A second vein
was intercepted in the Filao de Amor structure, and two more veins 50m to the SE of Filao do Amor and
70m NW of the Machichie SW mineralized vein. The drill intercept in hole RC201 of
1m @ 18.3 g/t gold
appears to be the up-dip continuation of the previous drill intercept of
3.3m @ 7.4 g/t gold
indicating the
continuity of grade up and down-dip.

Drilling Update
MG Diamond Drilling
Diamond drilling designed to define the high-grade zones within the primary basement MG gold deposit
continues. Assay results are pending on five holes.
MG Gold-in-Oxide Blanket Drilling
RC drilling designed to define the extent of the recently identified gold-in-oxide blanket at MG is
continuing. The original 74-hole drill program has been expanded to 86 holes, and thus far 77 holes have
been completed with assay results pending on 37 holes.
Pau de Merenda RC and Diamond Drilling
Results are pending on ten RC holes drilled to define the limits of the gold-in-oxide blanket at Pau de
Merenda (PDM) where recent drilling returned
40m @ 2.2 g/t gold
(see press releases dated August
10 and August 26, 2021).
Results to date indicate the presence of a near surface blanket at least 300 x
800m in lateral size.
Results are also pending on one diamond-drill hole from a planned six holes at Pau de Merenda which
are designed to test for the presence of a primary gold deposit in the basement intrusive rock underlying
the gold-in-oxide blanket. Several historic drill holes suggest the presence of an underlying mineralized
zone in the intrusive rocks with historic holes returning values of
30m @ 1.1 g/t gold, 47m @ 1.8 g/t
gold
and
9m @ 5.1 g/t gold.
Alonso Reconnaissance Diamond Drilling
Results are currently pending on three diamond drill holes and drilling is also in progress at the Alonso
target which is located 3km SE of the MG gold deposit. Twenty-three samples of this boulder float
material previously returned gold values of
11.6
to
200.3 g/t gold
(see press release dated February 11,
2020). Shallow follow-up RC drilling conducted during late 2020 however failed to determine the source
of the boulders due to high water in-flows at the time of drilling.
