VAL-D’OR, Québec, Oct. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cartier Resources Inc. (TSXV: ECR, FSE: 6CA) ("Cartier" or the "Company") reports high-grade gold results from the new Portal Zone at its 100%-owned East Cadillac property. The latter is located 45 km east of the Val-d’Or mining camp.

Highlights

• The 28,000-m (174 drill holes) ongoing exploration drill program continues to deliver high-grade gold results on the East Cadillac property (FIGURE).

• Drilling intersected a new high-grade gold zone, located near surface and a few meters from the entrance to the Portal exploration Ramp (Tables 1 and 2 below):
  
  

  • 7.2 g/t Au over 8.0 m including 12.5 g/t Au / 2.0 m and 26.2 g/t Au / 0.5 m

• Since March 5, 2024, drilling has discovered 5 new high-grade gold Zones on the East Cadillac property (FIGURE).

• Two drill rigs continue to explore high-grade gold targets along the regional Larder Lake - Cadillac Fault Zone.

“The results from the Portal gold Zone confirm historical high-grade gold results” commented Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO, adding “in 2024, 5 high-grade gold zones have been discovered over 8 km of the Larder Lake - Cadillac Fault Zone, on the East Cadillac property.”

The lengths of the mineralized intersections are expressed as measured lengths along the drill core.
The estimated true widths of the mineralized intersections are approximately 85 to 95% of the reported lengths.

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.
