Benoist

The resource estimate1 for the Pusticamica Gold Deposit on the Benoist Property was produced using a gold price of US $ 1,610 per ounce and a cut-off grade of 1.5 g/t AuEq:

  • 1,455,400 tonnes at an average grade of 2.87 g/t AuEq for a total of 134,400 ounces of gold in the indicated resource category;
  • 1,449,600 tonnes at an average grade of 2.30 g/t AuEq for a total of 107,000 ounces of gold in the inferred resource category.

Poised to be Cartier’s next high profile project. 30,000m diamond drill programme currently underway.

KEY POINTS

The resource estimate1 for the Pusticamica Gold Deposit on the Benoist Property was produced using a gold price of US $ 1,610 per ounce and a cut-off grade of 1.5 g/t AuEq:

  • 1,455,400 tonnes at an average grade of 87 g/t AuEq for a total of 134,400 ounces of gold in the indicated resource category;
  • 1,449,600 tonnes at an average grade of 2.30 g/t AuEq for a total of 107,000 ounces of gold in the inferred resource category.

An important favorable rock volume (rhyolitic lavas) can be explored on the property around the Pusticamica Gold Deposit to generate drill targets (6.3 km x 500 m x 450 m) (Figure 9).

DRILL PROGRAMME

The current controlled directional drilling program consists of 4 phases totaling approximately 30,000 m. These phases are as follows:

  • Phase I: Delimit by drilling the extension of the mineralization of the Pusticamica deposit between 350 and 650 m depth;
  • Phase II: Delimit by drilling the extension of the mineralization of the Pusticamica deposit between 650 m and 1,300 depth;
  • Phase III: Explore the potential peripheral to the Pusticamica deposit to discover additional deposits.  A total of 5 potential sectors will be drilled.  The targets, located between 150 and 450 m, consist of “OreVision IP” – type anomalies, with a geophysical signature similar to that of the Pusticamica deposit.  All of these anomalous sectors are found inside the Favorable Auriferous Corridor known over a strike length of 2,200 m.  Three of these anomalous sectors are directly located in the eastern and western extensions of the Pusticamica deposit (FIGURE 2).
  • Phase IV: Define the upper part (30 m to 350 m) of the deposit to increase the resources and collect mineralization aimed at carrying out technical tests to optimize the value of the project from the metallurgical aspects as well as industrial sorting of the mineralization.
