CABRAL GOLD COMMENCES COMMISSIONING PROCESS OF CUIÚ CUIÚ GOLD-IN-OXIDE HEAP LEACH PROJECT. COMMENCES MINING AND STACKING

Cabral Gold Inc. has provided a construction and commissioning update regarding its phase 1 gold-in-oxide heap leach project at the Cuiu Cuiu gold district, Brazil.

Highlights

• Construction of the dry circuit for the phase 1 gold-in-oxide heap leach project is now complete, with total project construction and commissioning now approximately 85 per cent complete, and 90-plus per cent of project costs committed under contract.
• Mining of gold-in-oxide ore has commenced, with ore being successfully processed by the sizer, agglomerated and transported by conveyor systems to the heap leach pads.
• The ADR plant has arrived in country and is expected to be on site later this month. The project remains on schedule with commissioning during Q3 and ramp up to full production during Q4 2026.
• The owners' team and contractors have worked a total of 501,743 hours during 2026 with a lost-time incident (LTI) rate of zero as of July 3, 2026.
• A total of 308 employees and contractors are currently on site on the construction project (excluding the off-site engineering team and Cabral's in-country exploration and administrative team), 100 per cent of project employees and contractors are Brazilian and approximately 61 per cent are from the state of Para.

Alan Carter, Cabral's president and chief executive officer, commented: "Our construction team have continued to make excellent progress on the construction of our phase 1 gold-in-oxide heap leach project at Cuiu Cuiu during the last couple of months. Commissioning is in progress and the project remains on schedule for commercial gold production during the fourth quarter of this year. The commissioning of the dry plant processing facilities is now largely complete, and the ADR plant has arrived in country and is expected to arrive on site later this month. Mining of the MG orebody has commenced and stacking of ore on pad 1 is currently in progress. All of this has been achieved by the owners' team and contractors having worked a total of 501,743 hours with zero lost-time incidents during 2026."

Cuiu Cuiu construction update

Procurement and delivery

The adsorption, desorption and recovery (ADR) plant was tested and partly commissioned at Como Engineering in Perth, Australia. It has now arrived in Brazil and is expected to arrive on site in late July.

The mineral sizer arrived on site in June and has now been installed and commissioned. Mechanical assembly of the dry plant, including all of the conveyor systems, has been completed.

Key process consumables for the dry plant such as cement, process water and diesel are available on site. The company has received regulatory approval for the use of cyanide on site.

Expenditures and schedule continue to track in line with the prefeasibility study with an effective date of July 29, 2025 (filed under Cabral Gold's profile on SEDAR+, entitled "Pre-Feasibility Study - NI 43-101 Technical Report, Cabral Gold Inc.").

Infrastructure improvements and construction

Construction of the water management and collection ponds is now complete. Construction of the heap leach pads is well under way, with pad 2 of the four pads to be completed in July.

Construction of the ore preparation dry circuit of the plant has been completed.

Commissioning

Representatives of Strategic Metallurgy Pty. Ltd. arrived on site in mid-June to oversee and manage the initial phase of commissioning focusing on the dry circuit (ore processing up to the heap leach pads). The commissioning of the dry circuit is largely complete and recently reached an important milestone with commencement of mining, the successful processing of ore and the creation of the first pile.

The second phase of the commissioning process will include processing of the pregnant solution, extracting gold through the carbon columns and producing dore from the ADR plant. The timing of this will be dictated by the progress of the first phase, but is currently planned for later in Q3 2026.

Mining and resource update

A detailed infill drilling campaign focusing on the first nine months of production at the MG gold deposit has been completed. Assay results have so far been released on 124 RC (reverse circulation) holes completed as part of this program and are in line with expectations (see press releases dated April 7, May 7, May 27 and June 11, 2026). Results are currently pending on an additional 41 holes.

The results from these infill drill holes are being used to generate a revised reserve estimate for MG and prepare an updated mine plan.

The mining fleet has been mobilized to site. The initial focus of site preparation and mine development has been replaced by the mining of ore from the MG orebody which commenced earlier this week.

Project development timeline and next steps

The project remains on track for plant commissioning during Q3 2026, and commercial production in Q4 2026.

The project has progressed successfully and is now approximately 85 per cent complete, with activity clearly shifting from construction to commissioning. The project remains on schedule, with Q3 activities focused on commissioning and first gold being planned early in Q4. Key development milestones in the upcoming months include:

• Arrival and installation of the ADR plant, planned to arrive on site in late July, 2026;
• Commissioning of the wet circuit during Q3 2026;
• Commercial production and ramp-up in Q4 2026.

Safety and human resources

The owners team has worked a total of 184,406 hours and contractors have worked a total of 317,337 hours for a total of 501,743 hours with a lost-time incident rate (LTI) of zero as of July 3, 2026.

A total of 308 employees and contractors are currently engaged by the project (excluding the off-site Ausenco Brazil engineering team and Cabral's exploration team), with 100 per cent of the work force comprising Brazilians and approximately 61 per cent local residents from the state of Para.

Video update

The company has included a link on its YouTube channel to a short video showing the company's construction progress. The comapny will update this video each month simultaneously with the release of the monthly update.

About Cabral Gold Inc.

The company is a junior resource company engaged in the identification, exploration and development of mineral properties, with a primary focus on gold properties located in Brazil. The company has a 100-per-cent interest in the Cuiu Cuiu gold district located in the Tapajos region, within the state of Para in northern Brazil. Three main gold deposits have so far been defined at the Cuiu Cuiu project which contain National Instrument 43-101-compliant indicated resources of 12.29 Mt (million tonnes) at 1.14 grams per tonne gold (450,200 ounces) in fresh basement material and 13.56 Mt at 0.50 g/t gold (216,182 oz) in oxide material. The project also contains inferred resources of 13.63 Mt at 1.04 g/t gold (455,100 oz) in fresh basement material and 6.4 Mt at 0.34 g/t gold (70,569 oz) in oxide material. The resource estimate for the primary material is based on the National Instrument 43-101 technical report dated Oct. 12, 2022. The resource estimate for the oxide material at PDM and MG is based on a NI 43-101 technical report dated Oct. 21, 2024. The resource estimate for the oxide material at Central and Machichie is based on a NI 43-101 technical report (updated PFS) dated July 29, 2025.

The Tapajos Gold province is the site of the largest gold rush in Brazil's history which according to the ANM (Agencia Nacional de Mineracao or National Mining Agency of Brazil) produced an estimated 30 million to 50 million ounces of placer gold between 1978 and 1995. Cuiu Cuiu was the largest area of placer workings in the Tapajos and produced an estimated two Moz of placer gold historically.
