Cabral Gold Identifies New High-Grade Target
and Provides Results on the First Three RC
Holes from the Alonso Target, Cuiú Cuiú Gold
District
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 20, 2020) -
Cabral Gold Inc.
(TSXV: CBR)
(OTC Pink: CBGZF)
("Cabral" or the
"
Company
") is pleased to announce the identification of a new
high-grade target, and assay results from the initial three RC holes drilled at the Alonso high-grade
boulder target at the Cuiú Cuiú gold
district in northern Brazil. Highlights are as follows:
Dona Moca target
- The ongoing regional reconnaissance program at Cuiú Cuiú has identified a
new high-grade target at Dona Moca which is located 1.6km ENE of the Medusa target. Surface
grab samples at Dona Moca returned gold values of
108.3 g/t, 32.0 g/t, 21.9 g/t and 3.9g/t gold
in surface cobbles
Medusa target
- Soil sampling in and around the Medusa target has identified a large coherent
gold-in-soil anomaly which extends at least 1.4km and has a pronounced ESE trend, extending
east of the previously reported high-grade boulders which range from
1.1 to 82.2 g/t
gold
. The
presence of this anomaly suggests that Medusa could be a significant mineralized zone and may
in part explain why so much placer gold was historically extracted from the adjacent stream which
drains to the north
Alonso target
- Results have been received on the initial three RC holes completed at the Alonso
target. Two of the three holes were drilled 150m east of the high-grade boulders at Alonso while
the third was drilled south of the target. These initial holes did not intersect any high-grade gold
mineralization. Results are pending on an additional twelve RC holes and the current drill program
is continuing
Alan Carter, Cabral's President and CEO commented, "The identification of another new high-grade
gold target at Dona Moca and a significant gold-in-soil anomaly at Medusa are both positive
developments that continue to highlight the potential for discovering additional gold deposits in the
eastern part of the Cuiú Cuiú concession area. The current drill program will test at least 10 different
targets at Cuiú Cuiú and will take several months to complete. Whilst the first three RC holes at the
initial Alonso target did not intercept high-grade mineralization at depth, results are pending on 12
additional drill holes, and we remain committed to identifying the source of the high-grade boulders on
surface".
Dona Moca Target
Ongoing regional reconnaissance work in the eastern part of the Cuiú Cuiú concession area has
identified another new high-grade target at Dona Moca which is located 1.6km ENE of the high-grade
Medusa target (see Figure 1 and press release dated 22
nd
April 2020).

high-grade targets at Machichie SW and Jerimum North.

Surface grab samples collected over an area of 65m in length at Dona Moca showed abundant visible
gold (Figure 2) and returned peak gold values of
108.3 g/t, 32.0 g/t, 21.9 g/t and 3.9g/t gold
. The
source of these grab samples is currently unknown and further soil sampling and surface trenching is
planned. It is significant that the samples were collected at the northern end of a major placer working
which extends at least 2km upstream to the south. A range of vein cobble types are seen in the drainage
suggesting a multi-phase hydrothermal event, with the grey quartz returning the highest grades.

Medusa Target
Results have been received on 1,080 soil samples completed as part of a grid surrounding high-grade
boulders at the Medusa target and have identified a coherent gold-in-soil anomaly which extends for at
least 1.4km in an ESE direction (See Figure 3). This may indicate the presence of a large concealed
mineralized system at Medusa.
Drilling at Medusa is expected to commence in the next few days.

Alonso Target Results and Ongoing Drill Program
In February, Cabral Gold identified the presence of extensive angular quartz vein boulders with visible
gold in a drainage with placer gold located 3km SE of the MG gold deposit. Twenty-three samples of this
boulder float material were collected and returned gold values of
11.6
to
200.3 g/t gold
(see press
release dated 11
th
February, 2020).
Whilst high-grade surface samples have been collected from other targets at Cuiú Cuiú, including the
new Dona Moca target described above, the number of samples and the grade of the samples collected
at Alonso were unusually high. As a result, the Company elected to drill this target first, even though there
were no previous drill holes and an almost complete lack of surface exposure, and considerable
challenges regarding access to certain areas of this target.
The initial round of RC drilling at Alonso is now almost complete with 15 holes completed to date.
Results have been received on the initial three holes (RC1-20 to RC3-20) and have not identified any
significant high-grade gold mineralization. RC1-20 was targeted to drill underneath the area of high-
grade boulders but was lost before intercepting the projected down-dip extension of the mineralized
zone. RC2-20 and RC3-20 were both drilled as part of a fence 150m east of the high-grade boulders
(Figure 4).
Access to the area where high-grade surface boulders have been identified, is challenging, and despite
the presence of waterlogged ground due to the proximity to a drainage, the Company was able to drill
two additional holes (RC6-20 and RC7-20) which were drilled on the same section as RC1-20. Two
additional holes RC4-20 and RC5-20 were completed on the fence 150m to the east. Results on these
holes are pending.
Another fence of six holes (RC8-20 to RC13-20) was also completed 950m to the west of the high-grade
boulders (western extension) where surface boulders are also mineralized and range from 1.0 to 7.7 g/t
gold (Figure 4). Results on these holes are also pending.
Two holes (RC14-20 and RC15-20) have been drilled 75m east of holes RC1-20, RC6-20 and RC7-20,
and have been designed to test the northern part of the structural corridor where the high-grade boulders
were identified on surface.
The Company remains committed to identifying the source of the extensive alluvial gold in the drainage
system at Alonso extending beyond the high-grade boulder occurrences, with the magnetics indicating a
significant array of structures and intersections points extending from these initial lines.
The rig will move to the Medusa target this week where drill platforms have already been prepared (see
above for discussion of the Medusa target).

The second drill rig will mobilize to Cuiú Cuiú this week. It is a truck mounted RC machine and has the
capability of drilling holes to 450m depth. The rig will initially target several of the recently discovered
veins in the Machichie SW and Machichie area which are outcropping on surface (see press release
dated 24
th
September 2020).
