Cartier Resources Inc. Reports Drilling Results At Hope Sector Cadillac Project
Cartier Resources Inc. announced the eleventh batch of results from the 100,000-m drilling program (2 drill rigs), within the underexplored Pontiac sedimentary Group in Hope Sector, on the 100%-owned Cadillac Project, located in Val-d’Or (Abitibi, Quebec). Drill Hole Results New Zones CA26-591 reported 7.9 g/t Au over 4.0 m included in 2.3 g/t Au over 19.0 m, with visible gold grains. CA26-334 graded 7.8 g/t Au over 1.0 m included in 2.3 g/t Au over 4.0 m. CA26-335 intersected 3.1 g/t Au over 3.0 m included in 1.1 g/t Au over 11.0 m. Porphyry #1 Zone CA26-334 reported 6.2 g/t Au over 1.0 m included in 2.7 g/t Au over 3.0 m. Hole CA26-591 introduces a new high-grade gold zone near surface in the unexplored Pontiac sediments. The intersection is located south of the Cadillac Fault and 50 m south of the Porphyry #2 intrusion, which opens an entirely new exploration target. This new discovery closely resembles the gold mineralization in the Cadillac sediments, consisting of a stockwork of quartz-carbonate veins and veinlets accompanied by sulfides and visible gold grains. To date, only two holes have tested this discovery, demonstrating the mineralized zone is open in all directions and at depth, and signaling significant exploration potential. Drill holes CA26-334 and 335 intersected the Porphyry #1 intrusion, extending its westward dimension to at least 1 km in length, remains open at depth and suggests a sizeable intrusive system in play. The two mineralization styles (sediment-hosted gold and porphyry-related gold systems) elevate the Hope Sector as a highly strategic area for the Cadillac project, despite its early-stage exploration status, highlighting its strong potential for new gold discoveries. Further expansion drilling is being planned at the Hope Sector to unlock the full potential of these two new styles of mineralization (sediments and porphyries). Additional exploration drilling is already planned to test two new high-priority geophysical targets, namely: A 1,500 m strong chargeability anomaly, between the existing porphyry zones to test the expansion potential of the mineralized system or a new porphyry center; A 750 m ovoid magnetic anomaly, consistent with a sizable intrusive body often associated with porphyry mineralization. Occurrences of visible gold (VG) have been noted in the drill core at various intervals. Based on the observed intercept angles within the drill core, true thicknesses are estimated to represent approximately 60-90% of the reported core length intervals.

Based on the observed intercept angles within the drill core, true thicknesses are estimated to represent approximately 60-90% of the reported core length intervals. The drill core from the Cadillac Project is NQ-size and, upon receipt from the drill rig, is described and sampled by Cartier geologists. Core is sawn in half, with one half labelled, bagged and submitted for analysis and the other half retained and stored at Cartier’s coreshack facilities located in Val-d’Or, Quebec, for future reference and verification. As part of Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) program, Cartier inserts blank samples and certified reference materials (standards) at regular intervals into the sample stream prior to shipment to monitor laboratory performance and analytical accuracy. Drill core samples are sent to MSALABS's analytical laboratory located in Val-d’Or, Quebec, for preparation and gold analysis. The entire sample is dried and crushed (70% passing a 2-millimeter sieve). The analysis for gold is performed on an approximately 500 g aliquot using Chrysos Photon Assay technology, which uses high-energy X-ray excitation with gamma detection to quickly and non-destructively measure gold content. Alternatively, samples are submitted to Activation Laboratories Ltd. located in either Val-d’Or or Ste-Germaine-Boulé, both in Quebec, for preparation and gold analysis. The entire sample is dried, crushed (90% passing a 2-millimetre sieve) and 250 g is pulverized (90% passing a 0.07-millimetre sieve). The analysis for gold is conducted using a 50 g fire assay fusion with atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) finish, with a detection limit up to 10,000 ppb. Samples exceeding this threshold are reanalyzed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish to determine high-grade values accurately. Both MSALABS and Actlabs are ISO/IEC 17025 accredited for gold assays and implement industry-standard QA/QC protocols. Their internal quality control programs include the use of blanks, duplicates, and certified reference materials at set intervals, with established acceptance criteria to ensure data integrity and analytical precision.

The Cadillac property contains total gold resource of 767,800 ounces in the measured and indicated category (10.0 Mt at 2.4 g/t Au) and 2,416,900 ounces in the inferred category (35.2 Mt at 2.1 g/t Au) across all the sectors.
