Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 5, 2026) - Cabral Gold Inc. (TSXV: CBR) (OTCQX: CBGZF) ("Cabral" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has appointed Mr. Elton Pereira as Vice President Exploration, effective immediately.
Elton Pereira is a widely respected exploration geologist with a strong track record of gold discovery and project advancement in Brazil. Over the course of his career, he has played key roles in identifying, evaluating, and advancing mineral opportunities in some of Brazil's most prospective regions, and in particular the Tapajos gold region.
In his new role, Mr. Pereira will lead the Company's exploration program, including target generation, drill planning, technical evaluation, and growth initiatives across the Company's gold projects. The Company believes that Mr. Pereira's combination of technical depth, operational experience, and proven discovery success in Brazil and the Tapajos region in particular, will strengthen its ability to build value through exploration and resource growth.
Alan Carter, Cabral's President and CEO commented, "We are very pleased to welcome Elton to Cabral Gold as Vice President Exploration. His discovery track record in Brazil, and in particular the Tapajos gold region, makes him an excellent fit for Cabral as we continue to explore and develop the Cuiú Cuiú gold district. We believe that his extensive experience, deep geological knowledge, and hands-on approach to exploration will be a major asset to our Company going forward."
Mr. Pereira said: "I am very excited to join Cabral Gold at this important stage in the Company's evolution as it transitions from a pure exploration Company to a junior gold producer. The Cuiú Cuiú district currently contains six separate gold deposits and over 50 peripheral targets which require further exploration. It was historically the largest placer gold camp in the Tapajos, and I look forward to working with the team to unlocking the value of the district through a disciplined, discovery-focused exploration strategy that can create meaningful long-term value."
Elton Pereira holds a Bachelor of Science in Geology from the University of Vale do Rio dos Sinos and a Master of Science in Structural Geology from the Federal University of Ouro Preto and is a Fellow of the Society of Economic Geologists.
Following graduation, Mr. Pereira spent 11 years with Rio Tinto Exploration in Brazil where he was involved in the initial discoveries of the Sao Jorge and Palito gold deposits in the Tapajos region as well as the Bueno kaolin deposit in Amazonas State and the Jurupari bauxite deposit in Pará State. He then joined Brazauro Resources where he was instrumental in defining the Tocantinzinho gold deposit which is currently one of the largest open pit gold mines in Brazil. He then spent 8 years as VP Exploration for Tristar Gold where he played a key role in the discovery of the Castelo de Sonhos gold deposit, before joining Appian Capital Brazil as Exploration Manager. During the last 5 years as Country Manager of Bahia Nickel (now Bahia Metals), he was instrumental in the identification of the Mangueiros sulphide nickel deposit in Bahia State.
Mr. Pereira replaces Brian Arkell who has moved to a new role of VP Technical Services.
