[{"type":"text","content":"Cartier Extends Mineralized System 4 km East of Main; Cuts 23.2 g/t Au over 1.0 m at Nordeau (Cadillac); Expands High-Grade Gold Near Surface at East Nordeau Zone\nVAL-D’OR, Quebec, Feb. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cartier Resources Inc. (″ Cartier ″ or the ″ Company ″) (TSXV: ECR; FSE: 6CA) is pleased to announce the eighth batch of results from the 100,000-m drilling program (2 drill rigs), for the Nordeau Sector and more precisely, the East Nordeau Zone (″ ENZ ″), on the 100%-owned Cadillac Project, located in Val-d’Or (Abitibi, Quebec). The ENZ consists of two parallel high-grade gold zones: EN1 and EN2, spaced approximately 25 m apart. Strategic Highlights from Nordeau Sector Drill Hole Results (Figures 1 to 4) CA25-565 intersected 23.2 g/t Au over 1.0 m (EN1 Zone).CA26-570 graded 11.9 g/t Au over 1.0 m (EN1 Zone) and 14.1 g/t Au over 1.0 m (EN2 Zone).CA26-572 reported 7.3 g/t Au over 1.0 m (EN1 Zone). Significance for Investors Holes CA25-565, CA26-570 and 572 confirm the newly recognized ENZ high-grade gold zone near surface. The mineralization extends over a minimum of 400 m in strike length and remains open at depth.New mineralization environment with iron formations indicates a strong opportunity for making gold discoveries, increasing the scale of target area in the Nordeau Sector.Most importantly, ENZ is strategically located just 800 metres south of Contact Sector and the new emergent high-grade gold North Contact Zone, signaling significant upside exploration potential. Next Steps Further expansion drilling is planned to significantly refine the geological model, verify the mineralization continuity and determine the gold enrichment.Additional exploration drilling is required to test several new high-priority regional targets along strike of the Nordeau Sector and the Cadillac Fault Zone, backed by detailed structural and geological modelling and VRIFY’s artificial intelligence (AI) driven targeting. \" The Nordeau Sector now becomes the third sector to return significant gold results from our 100,000-meter drill campaign, underscoring the growing scale and strength of the mineralized system. With no fewer than 11 sectors to be drilled, this aggressive program is designed to unlock multiple new gold discoveries and firmly establish the Cadillac Project...
