Cabral Gold Corporation is positioning itself to capitalize on record gold prices with its Cuiú Cuiú gold project in northern Brazil, featuring 1.2 million ounces of inferred and indicated resources across an entire mining district. The company has completed a pre-feasibility study for a starter operation requiring less than $40 million in capital expenditure with an impressive 12-month construction timeline.
The project's economics have become exceptionally attractive in the current gold market environment. With all-in sustaining costs projected at $1,200 per ounce and gold trading above $2,600, the operation generates approximately $2,500 profit per ounce pre-tax. This translates to a remarkable five-month payback period on the initial capital investment, making it one of the most attractive development opportunities in the gold sector.
Cabral has structured its development around proven heap leaching technology using a rotating pad system that prioritizes operational flexibility over cost optimization. The company will operate four heaps on a 120-day cycle, allowing for process adjustments between cycles to ensure production consistency and reduce technical risks.
Three drill rigs are actively exploring across the district, targeting a doubling of current resources within 12-18 months. Recent high-grade results include 11 meters at 33 grams per tonne and 39 meters at 5.1 grams per tonne, demonstrating the district's continued potential. The project encompasses four new discoveries plus approximately 50 additional targets that have shown encouraging gold values.
The project benefits significantly from its location adjacent to Brazil's third-largest gold mine, Tocantinzinho, which produces 200,000 ounces annually. Historical data indicates the Cuiú Cuiú area produced ten times more placer gold than the Tocantinzinho area, suggesting superior geological endowment across the district.
Construction financing discussions are at advanced stages, with management expecting news within weeks regarding debt financing arrangements that will fund the majority of the capital requirements.
