Cartier Resources Inc. (TSXV: ECR) has announced drill hole results from its West Nordeu and West Chimo mine sectors, which show new gold intersections. Cartier Resources is a Canadian advanced exploration company developing its flagship Chimo Mine project.
Drilling in the West Nordeau sector aims to increase resources in a future estimate while drilling in the West Chimo Mine sector aims to discover new gold zones in a little-explored sector, located proximal to the underground infrastructures. The Chimo Mine property, which is wholly-owned by Cartier, is located 45km east of the Val-d’Or mining camp.
In the West Nordeu sector, highlights included:
- 3.2g/t Au over 15m, including 6.0g/t Au over 3.0m
- 2.3g/t Au over 7.0m, including 6.9g/t Au over 1.0m
These new results increase the depth extension of the 5NE2 gold zone by 175m.
In the West Chimo mine sector, new values of 2.8g/t Au over 4.0m, including 9.6g/t Au over 1.0m were discovered at 800m depth. These values increase the depth extension of the 6N1W gold zone by 350m, with its summit portion only 20m from existing underground infrastructures.
Drilling was suspended on 2 June due to forest fires in Quebec, and numerous assay results are still pending.
“This suspension of drilling coincides with the achievement of the objectives of the first phase of 25,000m, located between 100m and 800m depths,” commented Philippe Cloutier, Cartier Resources president and CEO. “The results will be used to carry out the next phase located between 800m and 1.6km depths.”
Cartier Resources was founded in 2006 and is based in Val-d’Or, Quebec, with all its projects located in Quebec. Canada, and Quebec specifically, consistently rank as one of the world’s best mining jurisdictions. The company has significant corporate and institutional endorsement, including Agnico Eagle Mines, O3 Mining, and Quebec investment funds.
