Machichie NE Target and Extends High-Grade Zone Down-Dip, Cuiú Cuiú Gold District, Brazil
Cabral Gold Drills 7m @ 5.1 g/t Gold at the
Machichie NE Target and Extends High-Grade
Zone Down-Dip, Cuiú Cuiú Gold District, Brazil
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 20, 2025) -
Cabral Gold Inc. (TSXV: CBR)
(OTCQB: CBGZF) ("Cabral" or the "Company")
is pleased to announce drill results from four
recently completed diamond drill holes at the Machichie NE target which is located 150 metres NE of the
Machichie Main gold discovery and approximately 650m NE of the MG gold deposit within the Cuiú Cuiú
district.
Highlights
Diamond drill hole DDH351 intersected
7m @ 5.1 g/t gold
from 135.7m depth in primary intrusive
rock below the gold-in-oxide blanket, including
0.9m @ 19.5 g/t gold
and
0.7m @ 6.2 g/t gold.
This drill hole intercept extends the high-grade mineralized zone at Machichie NE as evidenced by
previously released drill holes including
11m @ 33.0 g/t gold
in RC0421,
6m @ 13.3 g/t gold
in
RC0449,
5m @ 24.5 g/t gold
in DDH331 and
12m @ 27.7 g/t gold
in RC520 by an additional
50m down-dip. The mineralized zone remains open at depth and along strike
Drill results are pending on the Mutum, Mutum West, and Machichie Main targets, and drilling is
currently in progress at the Moreira Gomes gold deposit and Jerimum Cima targets
Alan Carter, Cabral's President and CEO, commented,
"The Machichie NE target at Cuiú Cuiú is
located only 150m NE of the Machichie Main discovery and 650m north of the MG gold deposit.
Previous drilling at this target has returned very high-grade results including including 11m @ 33.0 g/t
gold in RC0421, 6m @ 13.3 g/t gold in RC0449, 5m @ 24.5 g/t gold in DDH331 and 12m @ 27.7 g/t
gold in RC520. The results from recent diamond drilling at this target are very significant and indicate
that the mineralized zone continues at depth and along strike. The mineralized zone is now known to
extend 250m along strike and remains open along strike and down-dip. Additional drilling is planned."
Machichie NE Drill Results
The Machichie NE target is located approximately 150m north-east of the Machichie Main gold deposit
and 650m north of the E-W trending MG gold deposit. (Figure 1).

Drilling during 2024 and the first half of 2025 at Machichie NE intersected a previously unknown zone of
high-grade gold mineralization within saprolite and the underlying primary rocks (see press releases
dated May 30, 2024, July 25, 2024, October 28, 2024, and April 3, 2025). Previous drill results include;
11m @ 33.0 g/t gold
including
4m @ 89.3 g/t gold
in RC0421
6m @ 13.3 g/t gold
including
1m @ 77.5 g/t gold
in RC0449
5m @ 24.5 g/t gold
including
2m @ 60.5 g/t gold
in DDH331
12m @ 27.7 g/t gold
including
5m @ 65.5 g/t gold
in RC520
Gold mineralization has now been intersected along a northwesterly trend of at least 250m at Machichie
NE and the mineralized zone remains open at depth and includes a higher-grade quartz breccia in a
well-defined structural zone that presently appears to continue through the entire trend.
The objective of the current drill program at Machichie NE is to further define the high-grade zone
intersected previously in drilling with the objective of determining the limits to the high-grade mineralized
structure.
Results have been returned on four additional diamond drill holes at Machichie NE.
DDH351 was drilled on N-S section 553380E and returned
7m @ 5.1 g/t gold from 135.7m depth
in
highly altered intrusive rocks including
0.9m @ 19.5 g/t gold
and
0.7m @ 6.2 g/t gold.
(Figures 2 and
3, Table 1).
DDH351 was drilled from north to south at 60 degrees and intersected the mineralized zone 110m
down-dip of RC422 which previously returned
21m @ 1.3 g/t gold
including
3m @ 7.5 g/t gold,
and
RC045, which previously returned
28m @ 1.0 g/t gold
from surface (Figure 3). RC351 was also drilled
between RC449 which intersected
6m @ 13.3 g/t gold
and DDH331 which returned
5m @ 24.5 g/t
gold
in hard rock at shallower levels. The high-grade mineralized structure at Machichie NE remains
open in all directions and at depth and trends NW-SE.
Other notable drill intercepts reported here include
4.8m @ 1.52 g/t gold and 2.2m @ 1.04g/t gold
in
saprolite and
1m @ 2.26 g/t gold
in intrusive rocks in DDH347 which was drilled to test the north-east
extent of the mineralized zone approximately 75m north-west of hole RC520 which previously returned
12m @ 27.7 g/t gold.
The mineralized intercepts in DDH347 are almost certainly the north-west
extension of the mineralized zone cut in RC520, RC421, RC449 and DDH331. DDH347 is the most
north-easterly hole to have cut the mineralized zone at Machichie NE and suggests that the mineralized
zone extends at least 250m along strike. The mineralized zone remains open to the north-west and to the
south-east.
DDH341 was drilled off trend 300m NE of DDH347 to test a peripheral anomaly and cut a narrow
interval of low-grade mineralization, 4m @ 0.5 g/t gold in saprolite.
DDH349 was similarly drilled off
trend 50m to the north and cut 4m @ 0.5 g/t gold in saprolite (Figure 2, Table 1).

highly altered intrusive rocks including 0.9m @ 19.5 g/t gold and 0.7m @ 6.2 g/t gold as well as selected previous results. The majority of holes
were drilled at a dip of 60 degrees towards 180 degrees. True widths may be 50% of actual drill intercepts. Terms: g/t = grams / tonne, m = metres,

Table 1: Drill results from diamond drill holes DDH341, DDH347, DDH349 and DDH351 at the Machichie NE target. All holes were drilled at a dip
of 60 degrees towards 180 degrees. True widths may be 50% of actual drill intercepts.
Drill results are pending on two additional diamond drill holes at Machichie NE as well as three diamond
drill holes in the Machichie Main area. At the previously untested Mutum target and the new West Mutum
target, results are pending on 17 RC holes. Diamond drilling with 2 rigs is currently in progress at the
Jerimum Cima target and RC drilling with 1 rig is currently in progress at the Moreira Gomes gold
deposit.
About Cabral Gold Inc.

material is based on the NI 43-101 technical report dated October 12, 2022. The resource estimate for
the oxide material at PDM and MG is based on a NI 43-101 technical report dated October 21, 2024.
The resource estimate for the oxide material at Central and Machichie is based on a NI43-101 technical
report ("Updated PFS") dated July 29, 2025.
The Tapajós Gold Province is the site of the largest gold rush in Brazil's history which according to the
ANM (Agência Nacional de Mineração or National Mining Agency of Brazil) produced 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.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control
Cabral maintains a Quality Assurance / Quality Control ("QAQC") program for all its exploration
projects using industry best practices. Key elements of the QAQC program include verifiable chain of
custody for samples, regular insertion of certified reference materials, blanks, and duplicates, as well
as check assays on results.
RC samples are split, collected in plastic sample bags, and sealed on
drill hole location. Drill core is halved by saw cut or slicer (in soft saprolite). RC and core samples are
shipped in sealed bags by independent contractor to SGS GEOSOL Laboratorios in Vespasiano,
Brazil, an independent analytical services provider with global certifications for Quality Management
Systems (ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 (ABS Certificates 32982 and 39911) and ISO/IEC
17025:2017 accreditation (CRL-0386)). Gold analyses are routinely performed via 50g fire assay with
secondary assay techniques applied on higher grade samples. Final assay results are validated by
Cabral Geological Staff prior to insertion into the database. Additional information regarding the
Company's data verification processes is set out in the CBR, 43-101, PFS Technical Report, July
2025, which can be found on the Company's website.
