Cabral Gold Continues to Expand the Gold-in-Oxide Blanket at the MG Target, Cuiú Cuiú District, Brazil

 

 

 

 

 

Cabral Gold Inc. (TSX-V: CBR) (OTC Pink: CBGZF) is pleased to provide assay results from an additional 17 RC holes at the MG gold-in-oxide blanket at the Cuiú Cuiú gold district in northern Brazil.

 

Highlights are as follows:

 

  • Results have been received from 17 additional RC drill holes which were designed to test the extent and continuity of the MG gold-in-oxide blanket which overlies the primary MG gold deposit. Based on these results, the surface area of the blanket has been expanded by at least 20%, to a total of 24 hectares
  • Significant results on several sections through the blanket include 66m @ 0.7 g/t gold, 24m @ 0.8 g/t gold, 23m @ 0.6 g/t gold, and 12m @ 0.8 g/t gold. The most easterly hole drilled to date (RC160) returned 23m @ 0.6 g/t gold and the gold-in-oxide blanket mineralization remains open in almost every direction
  • RC161 also returned 17m @ 1.0 g/t gold including 1m @ 7.5 g/t gold in the underlying primary MG gold deposit. As a result of these encouraging results the drill program at the MG gold-in-oxide blanket has been expanded from the initial 74-hole program to a total of 86 planned holes of which eight will be diamond drill holes

 

Alan Carter, Cabral’s President and CEO commented, “Our RC drilling program at the MG gold-in-oxide blanket continues to surprise us by delivering results which suggest the gold-in-oxide blanket in unconsolidated material above the MG gold deposit at Cuiú Cuiú, is larger than we previously anticipated. The recent drilling has expanded the surface footprint of the gold mineralization in this blanket by 20% to 24 hectares and it is still open in almost every direction. These results continue to suggest the presence of a significant deposit in unconsolidated material which has resulted from the partial erosion of the underlying hard-rock MG gold deposit. With five drill rigs currently turning on site and an aggressive 30,000 meter drill program planned at Cuiú Cuiú for the coming months, we look forward to additional drill results from both the MG and Central gold deposits and a number of the other 43 mainly high-grade targets that occur outside the two known gold deposits.”

 

MG Gold-in-Oxide Blanket RC Drilling

 

Following the discovery of an extensive gold-in-oxide blanket in near surface unconsolidated material directly above the MG gold deposit in April of this year (see press release dated April 15, 2021 and Figure 1), Cabral has moved swiftly to define the limits to the gold-in-oxide mineralization.

Initially, a 74-hole RC program was planned to define this blanket but the program has now been expanded to a total of 86 holes including eight diamond drill holes. This is the result of recent encouraging drill results which suggest that the initial blanket is significantly more extensive than previously envisaged. Results have been reported so far on a total of 32 RC holes including 17 holes which are reported here.

 

Assay results have been returned on holes RC137 to RC139, RC150 to RC161 and RC195 and RC196 all of which were drilled in the central and eastern parts of the gold-in-oxide blanket (Figure 2). These holes returned intervals of gold-in oxide mineralization within the overlying unconsolidated soils and sediments.

The most significant intercepts from these holes are as follows:

 

On section 553745 (Figure 3), RC157 returned 66m @ 0.7 g/t gold from 1m depth including 6m @ 2.5 g/t gold from 51m depth. This result represents the second-best drill intercept returned to date within the blanket, and is close to the eastern limit of the blanket as it is currently known.

 

Approximately 55m further east, on section 553800, hole RC160 returned 23m @ 0.6 g/t gold from surface. This represents the most easterly hole drilled in the blanket to date and suggests that the blanket extends further east than previously anticipated whilst maintaining good grade and thickness.

 

In addition, RC161, also drilled on the same section as RC160, returned 24m @ 0.8 g/t gold from 57m depth including 3m @ 3.2 g/t gold in oxidized material and a further 17m @ 1.0 g/t gold from 81m depth including 1m @ 7.5 g/t gold in fresh rock (Figure 4).

 

Other significant intercepts include RC154 which is the most southerly hole on section 553700 and returned 23m @ 0.4 g/t gold from surface including 2m @ 1.8 g/t gold. Approximately 90m to the west on section 553610, RC151 which is the most southerly hole on that section, similarly returned 15m @ 0.3 g/t gold from surface, also in oxide material. Both of these holes indicate that the blanket extends further to the south than previously anticipated.

 

Results are currently pending on 42 additional RC holes.

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.

 

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 three diamond-drill holes 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 five 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).
