Targeting will focus on both expanding known gold zones and testing new high-priority grassroots targets identified through ongoing geological modelling and past exploration success. Permitting process is now underway and planned launch of program is anticipated for late August, 2025.
"This is a transformational phase for Cartier and the Cadillac Project,″ commented Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO. "With over $11 million in cash, no debt and full ownership of the entire 15 km gold-bearing strike, we are in a strong position to aggressively explore and grow our high-grade gold inventory.″
The Company recently optioned three gold projects: Benoist, Fenton, and Wilson to Exploits Discovery Corp., enabling Cartier to concentrate its resources and technical team on the Cadillac Project's development.
