Cerrado Gold Acquires New Properties as Part of Its Ongoing Strategy of Regional Consolidation Around Its Calandrias Operations

Cerrado Gold systematically locks up regional concessions around Minera Don Nicolas, but near-term valuation rerating remains dependent on Lagoa Salgada permitting and underground ramp execution.

Executive Summary
  • On June 1, 2026, Cerrado Gold announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Minera Don Nicolas (MDN), acquired the Las Calandrias II properties, a 3,927-hectare concession in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina.
  • The new land sits immediately adjacent to MDN's existing Las Calandrias heap leach operations and proximal to the Falcon Properties acquired on May 26, 2026.
  • The acquisition was executed through a regulatory registration process, incurring no material cash cost.
  • Management intends to incorporate the new concessions into MDN's active 50,000-metre 2026 exploration program to test for low-hanging fruit and extend the operational mine life.
  • This follows a clear sequential strategy: first securing the 20,026-hectare Falcon package, now consolidating the surrounding corridor.
Material Impact
  • The acquisition is a direct, expected extension of the regional consolidation strategy already announced in late May.
  • It involves no cash outlay and does not introduce new financial guidance, production volumes, or cost structures.
  • The move is operationally sound, reducing surface footprint fragmentation and allowing exploration drilling to target contiguous structures without permitting friction.
  • While strategically positive for long-term resource inventory, it is an incremental, expected follow-up announcement that does not alter the company's near-term cash flow profile or fundamental valuation.
