This financing will allow Cabral Gold to initiate new drill programs aimed at testing recently identified high-grade drill targets at Alonso, Medusa and Cilmar, as well as allowing us to further test recently identified high-grade zones within the MG and Central deposits at Cuiú Cuiú. We look forward to a steady flow of drill results in the coming months as we continue to advance this expanding district."
