Cabral Gold gets full mining license at Cuiú Cuiú, continues exploration through construction phase

Cabral Gold (TSXV: CBR) CEO Alan Carter says the company has achieved a major milestone with the granting of the Licença Prévia (“LP”) for the Full Mining License at Cuiú Cuiú Gold District, in the state of Pará, Brazil. “The trial mining licenses actually have a limit, so we can only mine about half a million tons a year, or about 1,500 tons a day,” he explained. “With the full mining license, there is no limit, so we can expand this to the full design capacity of 3,000 tons a day and way beyond that.” “I think there's a good chance we will expand this once we get it up and running in about six months’ time.” Carter said the company has approximately CAD$40 million in cash, and while they’re spending on the mine construction, they’re continuing to move forward with further exploration as well. “We're building a mine, but we still have our foot on the accelerator in terms of the exploration program,” he said. “We've basically split our workforce in two, so we've got a dedicated construction team and a dedicated exploration team, and the exploration team is going full-tilt all the way through the construction, and are producing some excellent results.”
