Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 27, 2026) - Cabral Gold Inc. (TSXV: CBR) (OTCQX: CBGZF) ("Cabral" or the "Company") is pleased to announce results from ten additional diamond drill holes at the Jerimum Cima target located within the Cuiú Cuiú Gold District, Brazil.

Highlights

• 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, has returned 8.9m @ 5.8 g/t gold from 208.1m depth including 1.8m @ 28.4 g/t gold from 212.2m depth in hole DDH411

• The intercept in DDH411 is interpreted as a new mineralized zone which is located 200m south of the main mineralized zone at Jerimum Cima. This new zone appears to trend east-west, is parallel to the main zone, and is open to the east, west and at depth

• DDH393 was designed to test the down dip extension of the northern-most zone of mineralization at Jerimum Cima and returned 9.3m @ 2.78 g/t gold from 207.1m depth including 1.7m @ 7.2 g/t gold from 207.1m depth. The hole also intersected 10.2m @ 1.00 g/t gold from 225.0m depth

Alan Carter, Cabral's President and CEO commented, "The identification of a new mineralized zone at Jerimum Cima, located approximately 200m south of and running parallel to the main centrally located high-grade zone, is highly encouraging. This opens up the possibility of additional high-grade gold mineralization at the Jerimum Cima target which has already returned some spectacular drill results, including DDH385 which recently returned 9.5m @ 87.4 g/t gold. Further drilling will be required to determine the extent and along strike continuity of this new mineralized zone which remains open to the east, west and at depth."

Jerimum Cima Drill Results

The Jerimum Cima target is located 3 kilometres ("km") ENE of the Central gold deposit and 3.5km NW of the MG gold deposit (Figure 1). The target is characterized by a very strong gold-in-soil anomaly of +100 parts per billion ("ppb") gold covering an area of 900 meters ("m") x 1000m 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.

Recent drilling at Jerimum Cima has returned some excellent results including:

• DDH372 with 9.5m @ 87.4 grammes per tonne ("g/t") gold from 173.8m depth including 2.9m @ 285.5 g/t gold (see press release dated March 12, 2026)
• DDH378 with 10.2m @ 8.7 g/t gold from 99.5m depth including 1.3m @ 62.5 g/t gold from 108.4m depth (see press release dated May 13, 2026)
• CC26 with 45.6m @ 4.5 g/t gold including 1.5m @ 117.26 g/t gold in primary intrusive rock material
• RC561 with 49m @ 2.0 g/t gold including 1m @ 57.0 g/t gold (see press release dated May 21, 2025) and
• DDH359 with 82.6m @ 1.0 g/t including 9.5m @ 5.74 g/t gold (see press release dated January 26, 2026)

Notable results reported here include the results from DDH411 which was drilled on section 551187E and returned 8.9m @ 5.8 g/t gold from 208.1m depth including 1.8m @ 28.4 g/t gold from 212.2m depth (Figures 2 and 3, Table 1). The hole was drilled south of the main mineralized zone and away from the main zone to test for parallel mineralized features and it intersected a previously unrecognised zone with visible gold (Figure 4) which represents a new zone of gold mineralization located approximately 200m south of main mineralized zone at Jerimum Cima. This new zone is open to the east and west and at depth and requires follow up drilling.

DDH396 was drilled on section 550919E with an azimuth of 180 degrees and at an angle of 55 degrees. It similarly intersected the same northernmost mineralized zone as DDH393 and returned 8.9m @ 0.50 gold from 195.6m depth 11.1m @ 0.58 gold from 241.3m depth including 0.7m @ 7.82 g/t gold from 241.3m depth (Figure 2, Table 1).

The remaining holes were drilled outside the main mineralized zone and returned narrower mineralized intervals in the underlying hard rock material. Most of the diamond drill holes, however cut low grade gold values in the soil and blanket sediment suggesting the presence of a more extensive blanket than previously envisaged. Typical gold values from the blanket sediments returned in the holes reported herein include 26.0m @ 0.28 g/t gold from surface in DDH388, 34.9m @ 0.24 g/t gold from 1m depth in DDH392 and 36.7m @ 0.18 g/t gold from surface in DDH390 (Table 1).

All holes were drilled at a dip of 55 degrees except for DDH393 and DDH394 which were drilled at a 50 degree dip. All holes were drilled on a bearing of 180 degrees. Terms: g/t = grams / tonne, m = metres, Au = gold, EOH = end of hole. NSV = no significant values True widths may be 50% of actual drill intercepts

The primary objective of the current drilling program at Jerimum Cima is generating maiden resources for the gold-in-oxide blanket and the underlying primary mineralized zones at the. Diamond drilling at Jerimum Cima is ongoing and currently investigating the eastern extension of Jerimum Cima mineralization. Diamond and RC drilling is also ongoing at the Machichie Main deposit and the Machichie West target with the objective of updating the global resource base later this year.
