Altamira Gold Corp. has secured surface access to the western extension of the Cajueiro exploration licenses in Brazil, unlocking a 58-square-kilometre land package that includes the high-priority Novo Sonho target.

The newly accessible ground commences immediately west of the Maria Bonita porphyry gold deposit. Altamira has systematically sampled only five square kilometres of the total area to date.

The Cajueiro district consists of mineral resources at Cajueiro Central and Maria Bonita, alongside eight additional exploration targets located within an eight-kilometre radius of Cajueiro Central. Altamira mobilized a second diamond drill rig to the district in November 2025 to test regional porphyry targets and expand known resources at the Central Resource Area.

“Securing surface access to both Novo Sonho and the western part of the Maria Bonita porphyry gold deposit represents an important step in our strategy to continue growing the mineral inventory of the Cajueiro district and identifying additional porphyry gold centres along a 15-kilometre corridor. This newly accessible area is particularly exciting because the Maria Bonita resource appears to extend westward onto this ground, opening up significant exploration potential beyond the limits of the current resource. Novo Sonho is also one of the most geologically attractive targets in our portfolio. With access now secured, we can move quickly to drill test these targets and systematically explore the remainder of our license areas.”

— Mike Bennett, President & CEO

The company plans to conduct trenching and scout drilling at the Novo Sonho target and continue resource extension drilling to the west of the Maria Bonita mineral resource.
