Cajueiro

Advancing one of brazil’s most promising gold deposits.

Overview

Ongoing exploration and fieldwork point to the likelihood of multiple porphyry-related gold systems at Cajueiro, creating a compelling case for district-scale discovery and development. These potential hard-rock sources align with historical alluvial gold production, underscoring the project’s robust gold endowment and potential scalability.

Extensive trenching and drilling at Cajueiro have delineated 185,000 ounces of Indicated Resources and 515,000 ounces of Inferred Resources at the Central Deposit, with substantial upside as the deposit remains open both at depth and laterally. The 2019 Mineral Resource estimate, conservatively based on a gold price of US$1,500 per ounce covers an area of around 28,000 ha. The resource remains open in several directions and recent work has identified several potential lateral extensions which will shortly be drill tested.

A maiden mineral resource estimate for the Maria Bonita porphyry gold deposit within the Cajueiro Project was released in May, 2025. Maria Bonita is a separate discovery, located 7km to the west of, and additional to, the Cajueiro Central Mineral Resource.

The maiden open-pit resource consists of total Indicated Resources of 24.19Mt @ 0.46g/t gold (for a total of 357,800oz) and Total Inferred Resources of 25.64Mt @ 0.44g/t gold (for a total of 362,400oz). These resources include near-surface saprolite Indicated Resources of 2,02Mt @ 0.59g/t gold (for a total of 38,000oz) and Inferred Resources of 0.68t @ 0.40g/t gold (for a total of 8,700oz). These resources were calculated using a 0.2 g/t gold cut-off grade.

A significant higher grade near-surface resource has also been identified and at a 0.5 g/t gold cut-off comprises Indicated Resources of 7.56Mt @ 0.72g/t gold (176,250oz) and Inferred Resources of 5.18Mt @ 0.92g/t gold (152,940oz).

Mineralization extends to surface and the relative volume of waste to mineralized material within the optimised pit is 0.5:1. The deposit remains open to the west, south and at depth.

Maria Bonita is the first of nine porphyry-gold targets that have been identified so far within the Cajueiro district and further drilling will be aimed at both expanding Maria Bonita and initial drill testing of the eight other targets.

Cajueiro: Anchoring a Growing Gold District in the Alta Floresta Belt

Cajueiro is more than a single project — it sits at the center of a much larger gold system emerging across Brazil’s Alta Floresta Belt. Surrounded by high-priority targets, historic placer workings, and recent discoveries like Maria Bonita, the project benefits from extensive geological data and strong infrastructure. As soil anomalies and drilling continue to define new mineralized zones, Cajueiro is shaping up to be a key driver in the belt’s next phase of gold development.

Drill core samples from Maria Bonita illustrate the main host rocks to the gold mineralization. Although there is no outcrop on the site, the gold mineralised zone sub-crops and fresh rock is found in core approximately 10 metres below the surface. Several pulses of intrusive rhyolite porphyry host the gold. Variable intensity and forms of quartz veining are accompanied by potassic alteration, indicative of the high temperature core of a porphyry alteration system. There is very little sulphide mineralization associated with the gold and neither significant accompanying base metals nor deleterious elements that may interfere with simple metallurgical processing.

Quartz unidirectional solidification textures (USTs) are observed in various sections of the core and are interpreted as the upper parts of successive intrusive porphyry pulses. These rocks may have originally crystallized at a palaeo depth of at least 3km. Since that time, erosion has removed most of the cover, however, it appears that a significant part of the intrusive phase of the porphyry system remains preserved at the current level of erosion. The different levels of erosion that may apply to other district targets, above their source porphyry intrusives, are shown in the conceptual section.

Cajueiro: Defined Gold Resources in a Proven Mining Belt

Altamira Gold’s Cajueiro Project is located in Brazil’s Alta Floresta Belt, one of South America’s most prolific gold-producing regions. The project hosts well-defined near-surface gold mineralization with room for expansion, supported by excellent infrastructure and promising metallurgy.
