Cabral Gold Inc.
Cabral Gold's 100%-owned Cuiú Cuiú district covers ~30,563 hectares in Brazil's Tapajós gold region. A July 2025 PFS on the 1Mtpa gold-in-oxide heap leach starter project reported 78% after-tax IRR and US$74M NPV5% at US$2,500/oz gold, a 10-month payback, and life-of-mine AISC of US$1,210/oz. Construction was fully funded via the US$45.1M Gold Loan; as of July 2026 mining, stacking and plant commissioning are underway, targeting first gold/commercial production in Q4 2026.

Lifecycle Milestones
Construction Milestones
3 of 5 reached- Reached — date not disclosed · Phase 1 construction has proceeded under previously-issued GU's (Guias de Utilização / Trial Mining Licenses, combined 500,000 tpa capacity) -- referenced as 'currently licensed' in the March 10, 2026 release below, which itself grants a separate, larger Licença Prévia (LP) for the FULL mining license (enabling later expansion to 1,000,000 tpa and Phase 2 hard-rock development). The GU's exact grant date was not found in available primary sourcing -- recorded reached-but-undated rather than inventing one.

Milestones are recorded only from a company's own dated disclosure. A milestone with no date shown is one we can confirm was reached but for which no date was disclosed — we don't estimate one. "Not yet reached" means exactly that, not that a date is missing. An "Expected" line likewise only ever reflects the company's own guidance (e.g. a study or permit decision targeted for a stated quarter) — most not-yet-reached milestones have none, and that absence means no such guidance has been disclosed, not that one is overdue.
A relative ranking of how closely this company matches the profile of juniors that have actually been acquired — not a probability, and not a reason to buy. Acquisitions are rare: only a few dozen significant deals happen a year across a universe of thousands of juniors, so even a high score here describes a long shot. The strongest signal the underlying research identifies — whether a major already holds a JV, earn-in, or 5–19.9% strategic stake — isn't tracked yet and is absent from this score.

Insiders, Investors & Smart Money
Notable shareholders and insiders whose involvement is worth knowing about, plus what we're seeing from institutional/large-investor activity.
Eric Sprott invested roughly $2 million in an April 2025 financing -- a real but modest-sized specialist stake at this company's scale. Director Lawrence Lepard, himself a well-regarded precious-metals investor, personally bought 63,500 shares on the open market on 2025-08-19. An earlier claim of a large Dundee Resources stake did not hold up: the last verifiable filing (2020) shows Dundee selling down to about 9.4% and falling, six years stale, so it was not counted.

We haven't parsed this company's PEA/PFS/FS recommendations yet — cut-off grade, mine life, DCF/NPV, and the report's own next-steps guidance are a planned research pass, not live data for every company yet.
