Cartier Mobilizes Second Drill Rig to Advance High-Grade Gold Discovery on East Cadillac

Val-d’Or, Québec – Octobre 1, 2024Cartier Resources Inc. (TSXV: ECR, FSE: 6CA) (“Cartier” or the “Company”) announces the deployment of a second drill rig at its 100%-owned East Cadillac property, located 45 km east of Val-d’Or.  This expansion is part of Cartier’s ongoing 28,000-meters drill program targeting high-grade gold sectors.

 

Highlights

 

  • The second drill is now active, focusing on the recently discovered high-grade gold VG10 Zone and extending exploration along the VG Structure over a 1.5 km strike. Approximately 35 shallow holes are planned.

 

 

  • 142.2 g/t Au over 0.5 m
  • 137.4 g/t Au over 0.5 m
  • 43.2 g/t Au over 1.0 m included within 15.7 g/t Au over 3.0 m
  • 30.2 g/t Au over 1.0 m

 

  • The first drill continues testing high-grade gold regional targets across the property.

 

“We’re excited to accelerate exploration of high-grade gold zones on East Cadillac with the second drill,” commented Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO.  “The consistency and grade of the VG9-VG10 Zones have been impressive, and we’re eager to expand their potential.  Meanwhile, our first drill continues to deliver encouraging visual results from regional targets.”

 

 

Quality Assurance / Quality Control

 

For each batch of samples sent to the laboratory, Cartier inserts 5% of the number of samples in the form of certified standards and another 5% in the form of blanks to ensure quality control.  The samples are analyzed at the Techni-Lab (Actlabs) laboratory in Ste-Germaine-Boulé, Québec, Canada. Samples weighing 3 to 5 kg are crushed by the laboratory to 90% passing 10 mesh (2.00 mm), then a 500 g fraction of each sample is pulverized to 90% passing 200 mesh (0.07 mm).  The resulting 50 g pulps are analyzed by fire assay with an atomic absorption finish.  Samples with results ≥ 1.0 g/t and < 10.0 g/t are re-assayed by fire assay with an atomic absorption finish.  Results greater than or equal to 10.0 g/t Au are analyzed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish.  For samples containing visible gold, a 500 g subsample of rock is analyzed by the metallic sieve method.
