Cartier Cuts 7.9 g/t Au Over 4.0 m Within A Broader Segment of 2.3 g/t Au Over 19.0 m at Hope Sector (Cadillac); Unlocks New High-Grade Gold Zone in Underexplored Pontiac Sediments

Cartier Resources Drilling Success Continues at Cadillac; Hope Sector Adds Geological Diversity

Executive Summary

Cartier Resources announced the eleventh batch of results from its 100,000-metre drilling program at the Cadillac Project on April 23, 2026.
The focus was the Hope Sector within underexplored Pontiac Sedimentary Group rocks.
Significant intercepts include 7.9 g/t Au over 4.0 m and a high-grade interval of 22.0 g/t Au over 1.0 m in hole CA26-591.
A broader segment of 2.3 g/t Au over 19.0 m was intersected, indicating mineralization similar to Cadillac sediments with visible gold.
Drilling extended the westward dimension of the Porphyry #1 intrusion to at least 1 km in length.
The company plans to test a 1,500 m chargeability anomaly and a 750 m ovoid magnetic anomaly associated with potential porphyry mineralization.
CEO Philippe Cloutier stated these results underscore the emerging significance of the Hope sector and materially enhance geological prospectivity.

Material Impact

The news represents incremental progress within an already successful exploration campaign rather than a fundamental valuation shift.
Previous drill releases in late 2025 and early 2026 (NCZ, Nordeau, Portal) were rated as material positive due to exceptional grades (e.g., 339 g/t Au). This result is lower grade but opens a new geological setting (Pontiac Sediments).
The market has already priced in the success of the 100,000-metre program through previous announcements and the January 2026 resource update.
No new resource estimate or financing was announced alongside this release to trigger a re-rating.
The confirmation of porphyry-related gold mineralization adds geological complexity but requires further drilling to quantify economic potential.
