Cabral Gold Inc. reports exploration and development updates for the Cuiú Cuiú Gold District in Brazil, with recurring coverage tied to its OTCQX-traded security CBGZF and TSXV-listed shares. Company announcements focus on the Phase 1 gold-in-oxide heap leach project, construction progress, plant equipment, heap leach pads, and related engineering and procurement work.
Cabral Gold news also covers drilling at MG, Jerimum Cima, and other district targets, including reverse-circulation and diamond-drill results for oxide and primary gold mineralization. Additional recurring items include Brazilian permitting for the Cuiú Cuiú project, technical reports under mining disclosure standards, and board or governance changes.
Cabral Gold (CBGZF) reported five additional drill holes extending gold mineralization north of the Central deposit in Brazil’s Cuiú Cuiú district. DDH391 returned 8.2m at 2.50 grams per tonne gold from 149.7m depth, including 0.5m at 21.27 grams per tonne. DDH395 returned 10.4m at 0.45 grams per tonne, while DDH397 intersected 13.0m at 0.41 grams per tonne.
At Central North, 400m NNW of Central, DDH400 returned 18.0m at 0.72 grams per tonne from 145.9m depth. Cabral plans additional drilling to test potential continuity with Mutum and is targeting a resource update by year-end 2026. Exploration progress has been slower than expected because of drill-rig maintenance and longer laboratory turnaround times. Results remain pending for 28 diamond and 69 reverse-circulation drill holes. Cabral also granted an officer 500,000 restricted share units, vesting one year from grant.
Cabral Gold (CBGZF) completed its first gold sale from its Phase 1 mine at the wholly owned Cuiú Cuiú district in Brazil. Over 2,400 oz of gold was sold to a Brazilian refinery at an average net realized price in excess of US$4,200 per oz, marking the start of revenue generation from the gold-in-oxide operation.
Dry stacking stabilized ahead of schedule, allowing an earlier move to a second shift. Both dry and wet processing circuits now operate 24 hours a day; mining remains primarily a 12-hour operation, with accumulated mined-ore stockpiles feeding the dry plant overnight. Cabral plans to increase daily production toward design capacity before declaring commercial production and says construction and commercial production remain on schedule and on budget for Q4 2026. During 2026, the project recorded one lost-time incident across 664,800 hours worked, giving a lost-time injury rate of 0.30 per 200,000 hours.
Cabral Gold (CBGZF) has completed its first gold pour, producing approximately 1,130 oz at its 100% owned Phase 1 Cuiú Cuiú mine in Brazil.
Commissioning of the dry circuit was completed in July 2026, and the wet circuit is now nearing completion ahead of schedule. With this milestone, Cuiú Cuiú becomes the newest producing gold mine in Brazil, and Cabral moves into the producer category. The company is ramping up mining and ore stacking, targeting a stacking rate of 3,000 tonnes per day and aiming for commercial production by the end of 2026, after which formal 2027 production guidance is expected.
The Phase 1 heap leach operation processes gold-in-oxide material and, in the company’s view, offers low-cost expansion options and an operating base for a planned hard rock Phase 2. The Cuiú Cuiú district hosts NI 43-101 compliant indicated and inferred resources in both fresh basement and oxide material, supporting longer-term development potential.
Cabral Gold (OTCQX: CBGZF; TSXV: CBR) reported results from ten additional diamond drill holes at the Jerimum Cima target in the Cuiú Cuiú Gold District, Brazil.
