Cabral Gold Drills 6.4m @ 11.6 g/t Gold Including 1.1m @ 60.0 g/t Gold at the Machichie Main Zone, Cuiú Cuiú Gold District

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 25, 2022) - Cabral Gold Inc. (TSXV: CBR) (OTC PINK: CBGZF) ("Cabral" or the "Company") is pleased to provide assay results from five diamond-drill holes testing the Machichie Main zone discovery within the Cuiú Cuiú gold district.

Highlights are as follows:

• DDH303 returned the following intervals in primary intrusive basement rocks;

• 6.4m @ 11.6 g/t gold from 123.6m including 1.1m @ 60.0 g/t gold

• 3.8m @ 1.3 g/t gold from 81.9m

• 1.9m @ 2.2 g/t gold, from 76.8m

• DDH279 returned the following intervals in primary intrusive basement rocks;

• 16m @ 2.9 g/t gold from 112.4m including 1.1m @ 29.7 g/t gold

• 3.6m @ 3.4 g/t gold from 232.6m including 0.5m @ 14.9 g/t gold

• 3.2m @ 2.7 g/t gold, from 77.2m

• 3.0m @ 1.1 g/t gold, from 138.5m

• DDH302 returned 7.3m @ 5.0 g/t gold from 202.5m, including 1.8m @ 18.5 g/t gold. DDH300 returned 15.7m @ 1.6 g/t gold from 176.2m, including 0.8m @ 8.9 g/t gold, and 0.5m @ 12.5 g/t gold. DDH301 returned 12.2m @ 1.4 g/t gold from 215.6m

• These diamond-drill results from Machichie provide further evidence of the continuity of the Machichie Main zone at depth and indicate that this zone also contains a significant amount of high-grade gold mineralization

Alan Carter, Cabral's President and CEO commented, "These drill results from the eastern part of the Machichie Main zone extend the mineralized zone to depth, it remains open down-dip on every section. All five follow-up diamond-drill holes at the Machichie Main zone cut broad zones of alteration including significant zones of high-grade mineralization. This is very similar to the style of mineralization found within the Central and MG gold deposits, as well as the new PDM discovery. Recent trenching to the west also suggests that the Machichie Main zone extends for more than 900m along strike. To the west, it coalesces with a major north-east trending vein array. Combined, the Machichie W, Machichie SW, Machichie Main zone and Machichie NE target areas are now referred to as the Machichie Complex, which is likely to grow into a significant deposit"

Machichie Main Zone Drill Results

The Machichie target is located 500m north-west of the MG gold deposit (Figure 1). Previous drilling at the Machichie Main zone identified a persistent mineralized zone which is east-trending and dips steeply to the north. This main zone consists of a high-grade core zone surrounded by a low-grade alteration envelope which is similar in style to the primary bedrock gold deposits at MG and Central, as well as the recently announced PDM basement discovery.

The current drill program testing the Machichie Main zone (Figure 2) was designed to expand the zone of mineralization down-dip and along strike. All of the five holes reported herein were drilled on three adjacent N-S sections and down-dip from limited previous shallow drill intercepts. All of the holes successfully intercepted significant intervals of mineralization down-dip, including several high-grade intercepts.

Section E553055

DDH303 was drilled down dip of DDH196 on section E553055 (Figure 3, Table 1).

DDH196 was the only previously drilled hole on this section. This shallow hole cut two mineralized intervals which returned 10.5m @ 0.5 g/t gold and 2m @ 5.85 g/t gold. DDH303 successfully extended both of these zones approximately 50m down dip (Figure 3).

The results from DDH303 include 6.4m @ 11.6 g/t gold from 123.6m including 1.1m @ 60.0 g/t gold; 3.8m @ 1.3 g/t gold from 81.9m; 1.9m @ 2.2 g/t gold, from 76.8m. In DDH303, the grade is significantly higher within both mineralized zones encountered in DDH196, and remain open down-dip (Figure 3).

Section E552960

Drill-holes DDH279, 300 and 301 were all drilled on section E552960 (Figure 4) approximately 95m west of hole DDH303 on section E553055.

Only one very shallow hole (DDH198) had been previously drilled on section E552960. It cut a broad, altered and deformed mineralized zone, which included several higher-grade intervals, including: 10.2m @ 0.5 g/t gold, 2.5m @ 1.0 g/t gold, and 7.8m @ 0.9 g/t gold.

DDH279, 300, and 301 were drilled to better define the dip of the mineralized structures. These new holes all confirmed the down-dip continuity of the previous intercept (Figure 4, Table 1). All three holes combine to extend the mineralized zone an additional 85m down-dip and the zone remains open down-dip.

• DDH279 returned 16m @ 2.9 g/t gold from 112.4m, including 1.1m @ 29.7 g/t gold, 3.6m @ 3.4 g/t gold from 232.6m including 0.5m @ 14.9 g/t gold, 3.2m @ 2.7 g/t gold, from 77.2m and 3.0m @ 1.1 g/t gold, from 138.5m

• DDH300 returned 15.7m @ 1.6 g/t gold from 176.2m, including 0.8m @ 8.9 g/t gold, and including 0.5m @ 12.5 g/t gold

• DDH301 cut 12.2m @ 1.4 g/t gold from 215.6m

Section E553000

DDH302 was drilled on section E553000 mid-way between the previous sections. Two previous shallow diamond-drill holes had been drilled on this section (DDH177 and DDH178). Each cut two broad mineralized intervals. DDH178 intersected 10.2m @ 3.2 g/t gold, and 17.3m @ 1.1 g/t gold (Figure 4).

DDH302 was drilled approximately 100m down dip of DDH178. It returned 7.3m @ 5.0 g/t gold from 202.5m, including 1.8m @ 18.5 g/t gold (Figure 5, Table 1). DDH302 also cut a narrower intercept of 1m @ 1.4 g/t gold from 175.4m depth, which is interpreted to correlate with the section in DDH178 which returned 17.3m @ 1.1 g/t gold. Both of these Machichie Main zone intercepts remain open down-dip.

Interpretation

The results from the initial five diamond-drill holes at the Machichie Main zone confirm that the mineralized zone is open at depth, and also demonstrated down-dip continuity. All three of the sections described here are from the central eastern part of the mineralized zone, and indicate that just like the Central and MG gold deposits, the Machichie Main zone exhibits a significant amount of high-grade gold mineralization.

Further drilling will be required to define this area further, but the Machichie region now has multiple mineralized areas that may combine to form the next new significant gold deposit at Cuiú Cuiú. The recent trenching to the west suggests that the Machichie Main zone could extend at over 900m from east to west, and it remains open to the west. The new northeast-trending vein arrays and Machichie NE remain open in all directions and have been only subjected to scout drilling to date.

All mineralization encountered at Machichie to date remains open down-dip and along strike. The Machichie Complex could prove to be the next significant gold deposit at Cuiú Cuiú.
