The Abitibi-Greenstone Belt
Within a 60-kilometre corridor between Agnico Eagle’s LaRonde Complex and Eldorado’s Lamaque Mine lie some of Canada’s most famous and productive gold deposits. Extending eastward, this 100-kilometre stretch of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt highlights the region’s unmatched endowment. Cartier’s Cadillac Project sits at the eastern end of this corridor, directly on the Larder Lake-Cadillac Fault, giving it a strategic position within one of the country’s most prolific gold-producing districts.
The Larder Lake-Cadillac Fault
Cartier Resources is advancing one of the most exciting exploration plays in Quebec. Stretching 15 kilometres along the prolific Larder Lake-Cadillac Fault, the project already hosts multiple gold zones, strong geological context, and the scale to grow.
The Cadillac Project’s 11 Drill Target Areas
As part of our next phase of work, Cartier has identified 11 target areas across the property for further exploration. Perhaps not every target will ultimately deliver — that’s the nature of exploration. But through systematic drilling, data analysis, and disciplined evaluation, we can separate what’s promising from what’s not and steadily build on areas with the greatest potential.
ACCESS TARGET
The Access Target, once known as Far West Simon and Bluegrass, was first explored in the 1930s with a 44.7 g/t intercept. Despite its promise, it saw little follow-up. With Cartier ownership and recent AI prospectivity scores, it’s now a priority zone for discovery.
WEST TARGET
Located just east of Access, the West Target has seen little drilling until now. Our 2024 program delivered up to 17.0 g/t and 6.0 g/t intercepts. Strategically, this zone may link central mineralization with the west. VRIFY’s AI model confirms its potential with overlapping Phi and Tau targets.
PORTAL TARGET
The Portal Target, in the central-west portion of the Cadillac Project, is a historically important site where a 500-meter ramp was driven in 1987 toward the past-producing Chimo Mine. The entrance remains visible today, with a year-round logging road providing access. This area is immediately east of the Main mineralized trend, and Cartier’s 2024 drilling north of the portal returned 7.2 g/t gold over 8 meters. Strategically, the Portal Area offers potential to expand known mineralization, bridge nearby deposits, and build on existing infrastructure. North of this, the Simon Target extends this high-grade mineralized corridor.
SIMON TARGET
The Simon Target, just to the north of the Portal zone, is interpreted as the western extension of high-grade zones in the northern Main area, where a sliver of favorable rocks and geophysical anomalies holds promise.
MAIN TARGET
The Main Target is the central hub of Cartier’s Cadillac Project, encompassing multiple mineralized zones formerly known as West Chimo, Chimo, West Simon, VG, West Nordeau, and East Chimo. This area has long been the focus of exploration, reflected in dense clusters of drill collars and historic infrastructure nearby and recent Resource Estimates and Preliminary Economic Assessments. Cartier’s 2024 drilling added a new high-grade discovery, with results including 142.2 g/t gold and 137.4 g/t over narrow widths, plus broader intercepts like 15.7 g/t over 3 meters. Ore shoots remain open laterally and at depth. Designated as the Epsilon Target in VRIFY’s AI model, it is the foundation of Cartier’s growing resource inventory.
HOPE TARGET
The Hope Target, also known as the Chimo Tailings Project, isn’t a typical exploration zone. Instead, it focuses on evaluating the potential of processing residual gold in the historic mine tailings. An Independent engineering firm has been mandated to report on this. Flat terrain, road access, and power infrastructure make it a compelling low-capital opportunity.
NORDEAU TARGET
Further east lies the Nordeau Target, historically known as Nordeau and Nordeau East. The area has confirmed high grade gold mineralization eastward across the Cadillac Project. VRIFY AI flagged gaps between known deposits and outlined new high-grade targets. With favorable terrain and untapped potential along strike, Nordeau represents a compelling opportunity for expansion and discovery.
CONTACT TARGET
The Contact Target, formerly North Contact, delivered a new near-surface gold system in 2024. Significant results including 14.7 g/t over 4.3m and 6.3 g/t over 4m, strategically connects high-grade trends from the Main and Bateman areas, presenting strong potential for resource expansion and further discovery.
BATEMAN TARGET
The Bateman Target confirms gold extends eastward, with shallow drilling up to 60 g/t. Results suggest mineralized continuity stretches five kilometers from the Main Zone.
RAPID TARGET
Near the eastern edge of the project, the Rapid Target sits at a flexure of the Cadillac Fault intersected by a north-northeast cross-fault. Such structural intersections are proven gold targets on this project. Although drilling has been limited, VRIFY highlights this zone as a high-priority target for discovery.
RAPID EAST TARGET
At the eastern edge of the Cadillac Project, the East Target has seen limited drilling, however a drill hole intersect including 9 g/t over 2.3m. Geophysical anomalies and a key flexure of the Cadillac Fault suggest untapped potential. VRIFY highlights this area as a possible new discovery zone, extending the system another four kilometers.
Summary
That completes our overview of the Cadillac Project.
Across nearly 15 kilometres along the Larder Lake Cadillac Fault Zone, Cartier has outlined 11 target areas that bring together historic discoveries, new high-grade results, and modern AI-driven insights. The opportunity is clear: scale, access, and growth potential.
