[{"type":"text","content":"Cartier Cuts 7.1 g/t Au over 8.0 m at Portal (Cadillac); New Shallow High-Grade Gold Zone Discovered\nVAL-D’OR, Quebec, March 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cartier Resources Inc. (″ Cartier ″ or the ″ Company ″) (TSXV: ECR; FSE: 6CA) is pleased to announce the ninth batch of results from the 100,000-m drilling program (2 drill rigs), for the Portal Sector, specifically from the North Simon Zone (″ NSZ ″) on the 100%-owned Cadillac Project, located in Val-d’Or (Abitibi, Quebec). Strategic Highlights from Portal Sector Drill Hole Results (Figures 1 to 4) CA26-314 intersected 7.1 g/t Au over 8.0 m including 38.8 g/t Au over 1.0 m (NS Zone).CA26-325 graded 6.8 g/t Au over 2.2 m (NS Zone).CA26-308 reported 3.3 g/t Au over 4.2 m (5C5 Zone). Significance for Investors Holes CA26-314 and 325 confirm the newly recognized NSZ high-grade gold zone near surface. The mineralization extends over 200 m in strike length and remains open in all directions, suggesting significant upside exploration potential.Most importantly, NSZ is strategically located just 150 metres east of historical ramp. This logistical advantage should enhance the development flexibility and economics of Cadillac Project. Next Steps Further expansion drilling is planned to significantly refine the geological model, verify the mineralization continuity and determine the gold enrichment vectors.Additional exploration drilling is required to test several new high-priority regional targets along strike of the Portal Sector and the Cadillac Fault Zone, backed by detailed structural and geological modelling and VRIFY’s artificial intelligence (AI) driven targeting. \" These results of Portal Sector are particularly exciting as they confirm the presence of a fourth gold sector with strong exploration potential. Benefiting from the existing road access and historical infrastructure, this new sector has the potential for resource growth while being strategically located with respect to the Main Sector. We believe it could significantly enhance the value of the project and provide additional flexibility as we continue to advance and expand the overall development opportunities.\" – Ronan Deroff, Vice President Exploration of Cartier.
