Brascan Gold Inc. provided an update on its ongoing review of the multiple earn in options on gold properties in Brazil. As previously announced on December 29, 2021, Brascan completed its due diligence site visit on the Alegre Gold Project (the "Project") in Pará State, northeastern Brazil. The site visit verified multiple recently active or active artisanal gold mines (garimpos) of significant size, evidently recovering gold from the weathered saprolite zone within structurally controlled shear zones.

These gold garimpos attest to Project's significant gold potential. Brascan believes the saprolite (weathered zone) gold mineralization is likely to extend into the bedrock below, and that this mineralization will be a focus of the anticipated exploration program. This exploration program is expected to include geophysics (magnetics and electromagnetics), surface sampling and planning with respect to the how to cooperatively work with the garimpos.

Brascan hopes to develop strong drill targets from this work, especially given the evidence of garimpo gold production. Based on the results of the site visit and additional detailed due diligence on the Alegre Gold Project, Brascan intends to formally announce its acceptance of the earn-in option with the 100% claims owners Chapada Brasil Mineração Ltda.   by the end of January, 2022.

The Project is located on the same gold mineralization trend as Goldmining Inc.'s advanced Cachoeira gold project 15 km to the north and Oz Minerals' CentroGold Project 30 km to the south (considered one of Brazil's largest undeveloped gold projects). CBM also reports that other adjacent neighbors to the Alegre Gold Project include Kinross Brasil Mineração and IAM Gold Corp.
