Cartier Resources Inc. announces the third batch of results from a 100,000-m drilling program for the Contact Sector on its Cadillac Project in Val-d’Or, Quebec. The North Contact Zone (NCZ) consists of three parallel high-grade gold zones: NCZ (1), NCZ (2), and NCZ (3). Notable drill results include NCZ (3) intersecting 30.2 g/t Au over 2.5 m. The mineralization has been extended over 400 m in strike length by 300 m in depth, remaining open in all directions with significant expansion potential.
The latest assay results confirm the presence of a shallow and extensive mineralized system with multiple high-grade gold zones. The NCZ at the Cadillac Project is strategically positioned for potential shallow operation scenarios due to its exposed bedrock, minimal overburden, and proximity to year-round road access within 250 m. Further exploration drilling is planned to expand gold mineralization and test new high-priority regional targets.
Cartier Resources Inc. is encouraged by the results from the Contact Sector, indicating strong potential for the Cadillac Project’s long-term success. The geological model has been updated to highlight the significant gold potential of the Héva Fault Zone, where the NCZ is located. The company’s focused strategy on advancing known mineralized zones and exploring new opportunities is delivering positive outcomes for shareholders.
The Contact Sector at the Cadillac Project is a highly prospective area with the NCZ along an east-west trending, strongly sheared corridor known as the Héva Fault Zone. The NCZ features three parallel gold-rich zones primarily associated with arsenopyrite-pyrrhotite mineralization and late-stage smoky quartz vein stockworks containing visible gold. The potential for additional gold discoveries remains high in this underexplored area.
A comprehensive exploration program is underway at the Cadillac Project, including a 100,000-m drilling program aimed at expanding known gold zones and testing new surface targets. Environmental baseline studies and economic evaluations of the Chimo mine tailings are also being conducted to assess the project’s environmental impact and economic potential. Metallurgical sampling and testwork programs will further optimize project development and reduce costs.
The Cadillac Project covers 14,000 hectares along the Cadillac Fault in Val-d’Or, Quebec, making it one of the largest consolidated land packages in the area. Cartier Resources Inc. aims to unlock the full potential of this world-class gold mining district through successful exploration and development. With indicated resources estimated at 720,000 ounces and inferred resources at 1,633,000 ounces, the project demonstrates significant economic viability and value creation potential.
