Cartier Cuts 16.7 g/t Au over 2.1 m at Contact (Cadillac); Strengthens Shallow High-Grade Gold Potential; Supports Expansion Drilling
Val-d’Or, Quebec, September 23, 2025 – Cartier Resources Inc. (″ Cartier ″ or the ″ Company ″) (TSXV: ECR; FSE: 6CA) is pleased to announce the first batch of results from Contact Sector and more precisely, the North Contact Zone (NCZ), from the fully funded 100,000-m drilling program (2 drill rigs) on its 100%-owned Cadillac Project, located in Val-d’Or (Abitibi, Quebec).
Strategic Highlights from Contact Sector
Drill Results of NCZ (Figure 1)
- Hole CA25-524 intersected 16.7 g/t Au over 2.1 m included in 5.9 g/t Au over 7.7 m with presence of visible gold grains, at a depth of 195 m (Figure 2).
- Hole CA25-525 graded 4.3 g/t Au over 2.0 m at a depth of 180 m and 1.3 g/t Au over 12.0 m at a depth of 215 m.
- Holes CA25-524 and CA25-525 are spaced 65 m
Significance for Investors
- Holes CA25-524 and CA25-525 confirm the presence of multiple shallow gold zones, exhibiting significant grades and widths, and outline a newly identified, large and high-grade gold system near surface. The mineralization extends over a minimum of 400 m in strike length by 300 m in depth, signaling significant upside potential.
- Previous 2024 Cartier drill hole assay intervals, respectively 14.7 g/t Au over 4.3 m (hole CH24-173), 6.3 g/t Au over 4.0 m (hole CH24-177) and 5.7 g/t Au over 4.0 m (hole CH24-176), had successfully and summarily recognized this intense mineralization footprint (see Cartier news release dated October 16, 2024 and titled ″ Cartier cuts a broad high-grade gold system at East Cadillac; with 14.7 g/t Au over 4.3 m within 20.6 m grading 5.2 g/t Au ″).
- More Important is that this area has rock exposure and just beneath 5 m of overburden, NCZ highlights strong potential for low-cost and near-surface operation. This shallow depth opens the door to flexible and alternative mining scenarios that can enhance Cadillac project economics.
Next Steps
- Additional drilling is required on NCZ to confirm geological continuity, expand gold mineralization (150-300 m), extend footprint closer to surface (0-150 m) and advance toward a future gold inventory.
- Further exploration drilling is already planned to test several new high-priority regional targets at Contact Sector, backed by detailed structural and geological modelling and VRIFY’s artificial intelligence (AI) driven targeting, reinforcing the potential for additional gold discoveries.
” The North Contact Zone continues to deliver strong results and, most importantly, provides strategic flexibility for the development of the Cadillac project. The near-surface operation potential enhances the attractiveness of NCZ and significantly contributes to the overall scale and value of the project. ” – Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO of Cartier.
” The higher-grade gold intercepts are located near the sheared geological contact between the mafic to intermediate volcanics (Louvicourt Group) and the sedimentary rocks (Cadillac Group). This difference in rock hardness (rheological contrast) creates an ideal setting for mineralizing fluids and gold deposition. Hole CA25-524 confirms the good continuity of mineralization, which remains open both at depth and laterally. These results reinforce our belief that the Contact Sector holds significant gold growth potential. ” – Ronan Deroff, Vice President Exploration of Cartier.
