The thesis

Cabral Gold stands at the point where an exploration company becomes a producer — or does not. In July 2026 it began commissioning the starter operation at the Cuiú Cuiú project in the Brazilian state of Pará; first gold pour is announced for the fourth quarter of 2026. No mining revenue has been earned to date. That is not a judgement but the starting point: every figure on this page describes a company before its first ounce.

The updated pre-feasibility study (PFS), effective 29 July 2025, models this first phase with an after-tax net present value of USD 73.9 million at a 5% discount rate, capital expenditure of USD 37.4 million and a life of 6.2 years, five of them in operation. It assumes USD 2,500 per ounce. The study expressly covers the oxide portion only — the far larger hard-rock portion of the resource carries no valuation in it; a PEA for that is announced for 2027.

Two things shape the balance sheet. First, the financing: in November 2025 the company drew a USD 45.1 million gold loan, bearing interest at 10% in gold units, secured by a first-ranking charge over the company and its subsidiaries, with first repayments of 39 kg of gold per quarter from 31 March 2027. Second, the half-year report to 31 March 2026: CAD 31.9 million in cash after a combined outflow of CAD 40.1 million from operating and investing activities, and an explicit going-concern statement by management — that a material uncertainty exists which may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The order in which this resolves is verifiable: wet circuit, first pour, commercial production, first repayment. The gap between the announced fourth quarter of 2026 and 31 March 2027 is one quarter.

Metrics profile

This profile describes the company's characteristics. It contains no assessment of whether the share is over- or undervalued.

Fundamentals

Business model

One project, one country, one subsidiary. Cuiú Cuiú in the Tapajós gold province (Pará, Brazil) is, according to the annual financial report, the only material property; it is held through the Brazilian subsidiary Magellan Minerais. The ground in the Poconé region of Mato Grosso has seen no exploration activity since 2012.

The strategy has two stages: a small, readily financeable heap leach on the oxide material is meant to generate the cash flow with which the substantially larger hard-rock deposit is then developed. Whether the second stage arrives depends on the first.

Balance sheet

As at 31 March 2026: cash of CAD 31,890,924 against CAD 8,054,491 at 30 September 2025, net working capital of CAD 17,168,388, and a half-year loss of CAD 23,774,460. The increase in cash did not come from operations but from financing: CAD 64.96 million net, of which CAD 63.6 million from the gold loan.

⚠️ On the financial year: the company moved its year-end from 31 December to 30 September, with a nine-month transition period ending 30 September 2025. “Q2 2026” therefore denotes the six months to 31 March 2026 — not the first half of the calendar year. Anyone comparing these figures with those of other companies is otherwise comparing different periods.

The six-month cash outflow: CAD 10,545,899 from operating activities and CAD 29,599,288 from investing activities, CAD 40,145,187 in total. Investing includes CAD 16.6 million of construction, CAD 5.3 million of prepayments to suppliers and CAD 6.88 million for the purchase of 1,150 ounces of physical gold.

Dilution

The share count rose from 280,512,091 (31 March 2026) to 305,415,616 at the reporting date of 29 May 2026 and to 310,845,616 in early July 2026. On a fully diluted basis the corporate presentation gives 363,310,158 shares — around 17% above the outstanding count.

Outstanding are 35,567,949 warrants at an average of CAD 0.57 and 20,345,000 options at an average of CAD 0.45. The largest single item is 10,000,000 warrants at CAD 0.71 running to 26 November 2027, issued in connection with the gold loan.

The terms themselves are worth watching: the December 2024 placement was priced at CAD 0.24 with a half warrant, the May 2025 placement at CAD 0.38 with a half warrant — the raise of 2 April 2026, by contrast, at CAD 0.95 **with no warrant**. A bought deal without a warrant is a different financing environment from a unit placement with one. What that says about what follows is not stated here: it is an observation about the past.

Peer group

SWOT

Strengths

  • LP permitting stage for the full mining licence granted in March 2026.
  • Six independent Qualified Persons sign the technical report; independence is expressly declared in each certificate under section 1.5 of NI 43-101.

Weaknesses

  • No mining revenue to date; the starter operation is in commissioning.
  • Neither Measured resources nor Proven reserves reported.

Opportunities

  • Four discoveries — PDM, Machichie Main, Jerimum Cima, Machichie NE — still have no maiden resource.
  • The PFS values the oxide portion only; the hard-rock portion carries no economic valuation.

Threats

  • Going-concern statement in the half-year report to 31 March 2026.
  • First-ranking security for the gold loan over the company and its subsidiaries.

Catalysts

  • Q3 2026 Wet circuit commissioning

    Announced on 9 July 2026; the ADR plant was expected on site by the end of July 2026. We have no confirmation that it arrived.

  • Q4 2026 First gold pour and commercial production

    A company target stated on 9 July 2026, not a commitment. The first verifiable data point of the entire undertaking.

  • open LI — Licença de Instalação for the full mining licence

    The application was to be filed shortly after the LP was granted, according to the annual financial report. No grant date is given. Until then operations run under trial-mining licences.

  • 31 Mar 2027 First repayment on the gold loan

    39 kg of gold per quarter. The date is fixed, whether or not production has begun by then.

  • 2027 PEA on the second phase

    Announced for 2027 with no fixed date. Only then will the hard-rock portion receive an economic valuation for the first time.

Risks

  • Going-concern statement. The half-year report to 31 March 2026 states that a material uncertainty exists which may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. That is the company's own disclosure, not an assessment of ours.
  • The repayment date falls before production is secured. The first instalment of 39 kg of gold is due on 31 March 2027; first gold pour is announced for the fourth quarter of 2026 — announced, not committed. One quarter separates the two. The loan is secured by a first-ranking charge over the company and its subsidiaries.
  • Permitting for the full mining licence is not complete. The LP was granted in March 2026, the LI is outstanding, and the environmental permits are under review according to the annual financial report. Current operations rely on trial-mining licences.
  • One project, one country, one subsidiary. Cuiú Cuiú is the only material property; all operating assets sit in Pará through Magellan Minerais. There is no second site to absorb a failure.
  • Litigation has reached the enforcement stage. A judgment has been handed down against the defendants arising from agreements of 2009–2011 over properties at Poconé — not Cuiú Cuiú — and the claimant has begun enforcement. Around BRL 5,900,000 was awarded. On the company's own account Cabral bears 50% of the damages of ECI and Brasil Central, limited to the assets available there, and was not sued directly. No provision has been recognised; management states that it cannot estimate either the likelihood or the amount.
  • The resource estimate is a composite of three effective dates. Oxide Central and Machichie at 23 July 2025, Oxide MG at 9 October 2024, and all primary material at 31 July 2022. Anyone who reads the total as one figure from one date is reading it wrongly.
  • The PFS covers only a slice. What is valued is solely the oxide starter operation, with 128,903 ounces of reserves — against a total resource of 670,480 ounces Indicated and 527,320 ounces Inferred. The study's NPV and IRR do not refer to the project as a whole.
