Cartier Resources Inc. Announced today significant gold assay results from ongoing drilling at its Cadillac Project near Val-d’Or, Quebec. Drill hole CA26-314 intersected 7.1 grams of gold per tonne (g/t Au) over 8.0 meters, including a higher-grade interval of 38.8 g/t Au over 1.0 meter, within the North Simon Zone (NSZ). The findings, released March 12, 2026, indicate a newly recognized high-grade gold zone near surface.
Additional drilling revealed 6.8 g/t Au over 2.2 meters in hole CA26-325, too within the NSZ, and 3.3 g/t Au over 4.2 meters in hole CA26-308, located in the 5C5 Zone. The results are part of the ninth batch of findings from a 100,000-meter drilling program currently utilizing two drill rigs.
According to the company, the NSZ mineralization extends over 200 meters in strike length and remains open in all directions, suggesting potential for further exploration. A key strategic advantage is the zone’s proximity – just 150 meters – to a historical ramp, which Cartier Resources believes will enhance development flexibility and project economics.
Cartier Resources plans to continue expansion drilling to refine its geological model, verify mineralization continuity, and identify gold enrichment vectors. Further exploration will also target new high-priority regional targets along the strike of the Portal Sector and the Cadillac Fault Zone, utilizing structural and geological modeling alongside artificial intelligence (AI) driven targeting provided by VRIFY.
