[{"type":"text","content":" VAL-D’OR, Quebec, April 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cartier Resources Inc. (″ Cartier ″ or the ″ Company ″) (TSXV: ECR; FSE: 6CA) is pleased to announce the eleventh batch of results from the 100,000-m drilling program (2 drill rigs), within the underexplored Pontiac sedimentary Group in Hope Sector, on the 100%-owned Cadillac Project, located in Val-d’Or (Abitibi, Quebec). Strategic Highlights from Hope Sector Drill Hole Results (Figures 1 to 3)New Zones CA26-591 reported 7.9 g/t Au over 4.0 m included in 2.3 g/t Au over 19.0 m, with visible gold grains. CA26-334 graded 7.8 g/t Au over 1.0 m included in 2.3 g/t Au over 4.0 m. CA26-335 intersected 3.1 g/t Au over 3.0 m included in 1.1 g/t Au over 11.0 m. Porphyry #1 Zone CA26-334 reported 6.2 g/t Au over 1.0 m included in 2.7 g/t Au over 3.0 m. Significance for Investors Hole CA26-591 introduces a new high-grade gold zone near surface in the unexplored Pontiac sediments. The intersection is located south of the Cadillac Fault and 50 m south of the Porphyry #2 intrusion, which opens an entirely new exploration target. This new discovery closely resembles the gold mineralization in the Cadillac sediments, consisting of a stockwork of quartz-carbonate veins and veinlets accompanied by sulfides and visible gold grains. To date, only two holes have tested this discovery, demonstrating the mineralized zone is open in all directions and at depth, and signaling significant exploration potential. Drill holes CA26-334 and 335 intersected the Porphyry #1 intrusion, extending its westward dimension to at least 1 km in length, remains open at depth and suggests a sizeable intrusive system in play. The two mineralization styles (sediment-hosted gold and porphyry-related gold systems) elevate the Hope Sector as a highly strategic area for the Cadillac project, despite its early-stage exploration status, highlighting its strong potential for new gold discoveries. Next Steps Further expansion drilling is being planned at the Hope Sector to unlock the full potential of these two new styles of mineralization (sediments and porphyries). Additional exploration drilling is already planned to test two new high-priority geophysical targets, namely: A 1,500 m strong chargeability anomaly, between the existing porphyry zones to test the expansion potential of the mineralized system or a new porphyry ce...
