Cartier Cuts 2.1 g/t Au Over 19.1 m at Main Sector (Cadillac); Confirming Multiple Parallel Gold Zones Near Surface

Cartier Resources Inc.

Executive Summary
  • Cartier Resources announced the 12th batch of drill results from the Main Sector of its 100%-owned Cadillac Project in Quebec.
  • Key intercept includes CA26-595: 19.1m @ 2.1 g/t Au, including 1.0m @ 19.6 g/t Au in the 5B4 Zone.
  • Additional intercepts in the 5M, 3E, and 6N1 zones confirm lateral extension and consistency of the mineralized system.
  • The winter drilling phase is complete, and the company is redesigning its initial 100,000-m program to incorporate successful results from the Contact and Hope Sectors.
  • The updated strategy aims to unlock camp-scale, high-grade gold potential along the 15 km Cadillac Fault Zone.
  • QA/QC protocols remain robust, with core samples analyzed at ISO/IEC 17025 accredited labs (MSALABS and Actlabs).
Material Impact
  • The June 2, 2026 release is a direct continuation of the aggressive 100,000-m drilling campaign launched in August 2025.
  • Results are fully consistent with previous batches, which have repeatedly delivered high-grade, near-surface intercepts across the Contact, Nordeau, Main, and Hope sectors.
  • The news confirms the geological model and guides the next phase of drilling but does not introduce a fundamentally new discovery, financial milestone, or strategic partnership.
  • Coupled with the May 2026 metallurgical results showing 96.3% gold recovery (exceeding the 2023 PEA baseline), the project's technical de-risking is progressing as planned.
  • Because the market has already priced in the high-grade nature of the asset through prior drill releases and the January 2026 resource update, this announcement is expected, incremental, and lacks the surprise element required for a material re-rating. It is categorized as Routine - Positive.
