Cabral Gold Inc. [TSXV: CBR; OTCQX: CBGZF] reported results from two additional diamond drill holes at the Jerimum Cima target within the Cuiú Cuiú Gold District, Brazil.

Highlights: Recent drilling at the Jerimum Cima target, located 3km ENE of the Central gold deposit and 3.5km NW of the MG gold deposit at Cuiú Cuiú, returned 9.5 metres at 87.4 g/t gold from 173.8 metres depth, including 2.9 metres at 285.5 g/t gold from 178.7 metres depth in hole DDH372.

The zone intersected in DDH372 is most likely the same zone intersected by previously released drill holes which returned 45.6 metres at 4.5 g/t gold, and 9.5 metres at 5.74 g/t gold including 3.6 metres at 13.9 g/t gold, and suggests the presence of a high-grade zone which may form the core of the mineralized system at Jerimum Cima. The high-grade zone remains open along strike and at depth.

In addition, DDH369 which was drilled 500 metres further to the east at Jerimum Cima, intersected 6.1 metres at 0.55 g/t gold and 13.9 metres at 0.73 g/t gold. This hole is the most easterly hole so far drilled at Jerimum Cima and is a 150-metre step-out from a previously released intercept in DDH365 which returned 3.8 metres at 10.80 g/t, including 0.5 metres at 80.51 g/t. gold mineralization remains open to the east and at depth.

Results on 2 additional diamond drill holes are pending from Jerimum Cima. Drilling is continuing and is aimed at defining the size of the broader mineralized system, and now, the extent of the high-grade mineralization intersected in DDH372.

Alan Carter, Cabral’s President and CEO, commented, “Whilst we have encountered very high-grade drill intercepts in several of the known deposits and recent discoveries within the Cuiú Cuiú district, notably Machichie NE where we recently drilled 11 metres at 33.0 g/t and 12 metres at 27.7 g/t gold, we have never encountered drill results of this magnitude. DDH372 at Jerimum Cima returned 9.5 metres at 87.4 g/t gold, including 2.9 metres at 285.5 g/t gold. It is becoming increasingly clear that we have an important discovery at Jerimum Cima which is located 3km ENE of the Central gold deposit and 3.5km NW of the MG gold deposit, and is not currently part of the existing resource base.

These latest drill results suggest the presence of a central zone of very high-grade material at Jerimum Cima which appears to be surrounded by lower grade stockwork mineralization. The high-grade zone appears to be localized at the intersection of E-W and NW-SE trending structures, and is within a broader mineralized envelope that is up to 200 metres wide and extends at least 750m E-W. Further drilling is planned, and is aimed at establishing the size of both the near surface gold-in-oxide zone, and the underlying zones of primary mineralization in the intrusive rocks, particularly the high-grade zone encountered in DDH372.”

Brian Arkell, Vice President of Exploration and Technical Servic, commented: “These are the strongest drill results thus far from Jerimum Cima and occur along trend of the high-grade results recorded previously in diamond drill hole CC-26 (45.6m at 4.47 g/t Au) and other drill holes nearly 400m to the west. Though we are still at an early stage and our drilling remains widely spaced, we are defining an altered, mineralized zone up to 200 metres wide, at least 900m long, which is open to the east and at depth. Similar to what we see at MG and Machichie Main, this is a broad east-west trending structure, emanating as a splay off the regional-scale TZ fault, showing multiple episodes of altered intrusive dykes and higher grade breccias.

“Of additional interest, there is a large gold-in-oxide cap over much of this area, and a broad gold-in-soil anomaly which is open to the north and east. Our current plans are to continue drilling both to the east and north-northeast to determine the overall extent of the mineralization at the Jerimum Cima target.”

Jerimum Cima Drill Results: The Jerimum Cima target is located 3 km) ENE of the Central gold deposit and 3.5km NW of the MG gold deposit. The target is characterized by a very strong gold-in-soil anomaly of +100 parts per billion (ppb) gold covering an area of 900 metres x 1,000 metres and is comparable with the gold-in-soil anomalies above the MG and Central gold deposits, and the PDM and Machichie Main gold discoveries. As with the MG gold deposit and the Machichie Main gold discovery, gold mineralization at Jerimum Cima is centered on a major east-west trending fault zone, which forms a splay off the regional scale Tocantinzinho fault system.

Previous reconnaissance drilling at Jerimum Cima returned 45.6 metres at 4.5 g/t gold in primary intrusive rock material as well as 49 metres at 2.0 g/t gold and more recently 9.5 metres at 5.74 g/t gold from 41.4 metres depth, including 3.6 metres at 13.92 g/t gold. In addition, a number of surface trenches returned gold intercepts of very good grade in gold-in-oxide material, and include 14 metres at 1.6 g/t gold, 20 metres at 1.2 g/t gold, 10 metres at 1.3 g/t gold, and 24 metres at 0.7 g/t gold and 18 metres at 1.9 g/t gold.

DDH372 reported here, was drilled on section 551061E with an azimuth of 360 degrees and at an angle of 50 degrees within the central eastern part of the Jerimum Cima target and was designed to test the intersection of the main E-W trending mineralized zone and an interpreted NW trending cross fault. The hole returned 9.5 metres at 87.4 gold from 173.8 metres depth, including 2.9 metres at 285.5 g/t gold from 178.7 metres depth in primary (hard) bedrock quartz vein material and appears to be at the intersection of the main E-W trending mineralized zone at Jerimum Cima and a NW trending cross fault.

The zone intersected in DDH372 is most likely the same zone intersected by previous drill holes to the east and west. Drillhole CC26 was drilled 30 metres west of DDH372 and previously returned 45.6 metres at 4.5 g/t gold. Drillhole DDH359 was drilled 80m east of DDH372 and previously returned 9.5 metres at 5.74 g/t gold, including 3.6 metres at 13.92 g/t gold. These holes together suggest the presence of a high-grade zone extending at least 110 metres along strike which may form the core of the mineralized system at Jerimum Cima. The high-grade zone remains open along strike and at depth.

In addition, DDH369 which was drilled 500m further to the east of DDH372 on section 551515E and reported here, intersected 6.1 metres at 0.55 g/t gold and 13.9 metres at 0.73 g/t gold. This hole is the most easterly hole so far drilled at Jerimum Cima and is a 150-metre step-out from DDH365 which recently returned 3.8 metres at 10.80 g/t gold, including 0.5 metres at 80.51 g/t. gold mineralization remains open to the east and at depth.

The extremely high gold grades returned from DDH372 and other holes at Jerimum Cima suggest the presence of a central zone of very high-grade material which appears to be surrounded by lower grade stockwork mineralization. The high-grade zone appears to be localized at the intersection of E-W and NW-SE trending structures and is within a broader mineralized envelope that is up to 200 metres wide and extends along strike at least 750 metres in an E-W sense. Both the broader zone and the central high-grade zone are open along strike and at depth. Drilling is in progress and additional drill holes are planned.
