LGC · Price

Executive Summary

  • Lavras Gold disclosed assay results from 17 new drill holes (6,305 m) at the Butiá Gold Deposit and adjacent Fazenda do Posto discovery, confirming continuous gold mineralization and a structural connection between the two zones.
  • Notable high‑grade intercepts include 62 m @ 3.2 g/t Au (hole 25BT062), 44 m @ 2.3 g/t Au with a 13 m @ 3.6 g/t sub‑interval (hole 25FP039) and 1 m @ 41.7 g/t Au (hole 25FP045).
  • The results advance the goal of converting the inferred resource at Butiá to Measured & Indicated categories, expand the gold endowment, and support the commencement of an Environmental & Social Impact Study for a prospective commercial mine.

Key Details

  • Drill Program: 17 holes, 6,305 m total; part of an ongoing 25,000 m program on the LDS Project.
  • Hole 25BT062 (Butiá): 228 m @ 1.1 g/t Au from 115 m depth, including 62 m @ 3.2 g/t Au (159 m) and 3 m @ 2.7 g/t Au (374 m). Confirms continuity between Butiá and Fazenda do Posto.
  • Hole 25BT057 (Butiá): 113 m @ 0.8 g/t Au from surface, with multiple higher‑grade sub‑intervals (e.g., 14 m @ 1.0 g/t Au at 23 m).
  • Hole 25FP039 (Fazenda do Posto): 44 m @ 2.3 g/t Au from 325 m, including 13 m @ 3.6 g/t Au; also a 2 m @ 15.2 g/t Au intercept at 391 m.
  • Hole 25FP045 (Fazenda do Posto): 77 m @ 1.5 g/t Au from 128 m, with notable high‑grade intervals: 12 m @ 4.1 g/t Au (155 m) and 1 m @ 41.7 g/t Au (194 m).
  • Additional Intercepts: Multiple lower‑grade but continuous zones across holes; overall >58,000 m drilled on the two concessions to date.
  • Resource Context: Butiá holds an NI 43‑101 resource of 12.9 Mt @ 0.91 g/t Au (377k oz Measured & Indicated) plus 3.7 Mt @ 0.97 g/t Au (115k oz Inferred).
  • Metallurgical Program: Eight 150‑kg composite samples sent to SGS Brazil; results pending.
  • Regulatory Progress: Environmental and Social Impact Study (EIA) initiated following approval of a Terms of Reference Study by FEPAM, moving the project toward permitting for commercial mining.
