commented
“
We are
extremely pleased that the ongoing drill results
from the Phase 1 program at Serra Alta continue to support our view of the potential scale of this deposit as
we move into the Phase 2 portion of the drill program. The most recent results also highlight th
e potential to
see an overall improvement in resource grade
relative to the current resource.
”
He continued
,
“
As we await
the
pending
assay results for the outstanding holes to be completed
(
25 of 55
holes
currently reported)
, we are
making preparations to
update our mineral resource estimate and complete a new PEA for Serra Alta that we
are confident will demonstrate the robust potential at Serra Alta. Further
,
we remain confident that
our Phase
2 drill program
,
which
has
recently co
mmenced
,
will demonstrate the potential of some
of the nearby regional
tar
gets
providing insight into
the large regional potential of the
Monte Do Carmo
district.”
The drill results
reported in this press release
were
received
up until Ma

Including the
assays for
holes reported today
, Cerrado has reported assay results for 25 of 55 holes drilled in the Phase I program.
The results indicate that
th
ese
drill hole
s
ha
ve
been
very
successful in confirming
and expanding
the
mineral
ization
.
The
current
d
rill hole
s
intersected broad zones of hydrothermal alteration with
many instances
of visible
gold. The alteration is typical for
the
Serra Alta
deposit,
including
the
abundance
of
quartz veinlets,
potassic, chloritic and sulphides (py, spl, and gal) with visible gold.
To date, the bulk of the drill results reported fall within the pit
boundary
as
outlined
in the
Preliminary
Economic Assessment (“PEA”) o
f
the current resources defined at the Serra Alta deposit at its Monte
D
o
Carmo gold project in Tocantins State, Brazil
(See Press Release
December 5, 2018
)
.
The PEA, titled
"Independent Technical Report
-
Preliminary Economic Assessment for Serra Alta Deposit, Monte do
Carmo Project, Tocantins State, Brazil" and dated October 14, 2020 with an effective date of December
5, 2018, was prepared by Porfírio Cabalei

of the current drill
program
at Serra Alta,
which began at the end of

the success of the 2018

of an

totaling
813,000 oz of gold
contained within 13,639,000 tonnes grading
1.85 g/t Au

This

of drilling
;
mainly

additional ounces and a modest amount of
infill drilling
to

categories focusing
on the known
Serra Alta deposit. This deposit is
1.5 kilometres long
, 400m wide,
and
remains open along strike and at depth
and represent

only the first
of
4
known
additional

which are targeted
to grow the resource on the overall Monte Do C
