Cabral Gold Advances Metallurgical Testing at Cuiú Cuiú Project as Prefeasibility Study Continues

Vancouver-based Cabral Gold Inc. (TSXV: CBR) has commenced additional metallurgical testing on near-surface oxidized gold mineralization from its Cuiú Cuiú gold project in northern Brazil. The goal is to further define potential heap leach recoveries as the company advances a prefeasibility study examining near-surface oxide resources.

The latest round of metallurgic tests follows an earlier successful column leach test that yielded 82% recoveries on oxide material from the MG deposit after 70 days. Cabral has engaged Testwork do Brasil to conduct the new tests on high-grade oxide samples from the MG and Central deposits.

The work is being done in conjunction with a trial mining prefeasibility study led by Ausenco do Brasil. That study is focused on potentially fast-tracking production from Cabral's 21.6 million tonne indicated oxide resource grading 0.87 g/t gold.

Cabral holds a 100% interest in the Cuiú Cuiú project in northern Brazil's Tapajós gold district. The district was the site of one of Brazil's largest historical gold rushes. Cabral's project covers the largest placer workings in the Tapajós, which produced an estimated 2 million ounces.

With advanced studies underway and potential for strong recoveries, investors may want to keep an eye on Cabral as it moves towards a potential near-term production scenario at Cuiú Cuiú. The latest metallurgical results could demonstrate robust economics for heap leaching the company's substantial oxide resources.
