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 as a camp-scale gold opportunity with upside exploration potential.” – Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO of Cartier.

” The initial results from the Nordeau Sector indicate a gold enrichment trend comparable to that observed in the North Contact Zone of the Contact Sector. These findings also suggest that the sector may exhibit a slightly different structural geometry than that identified in the Main Sector and at the past-producing Chimo mine. This drilling program is designed to confirm this interpretation and further define the sector’s potential, with the objective of unlocking additional value for shareholders. ” – Ronan Deroff, Vice President Exploration of Cartier.

Nordeau Sector

The Nordeau Sector is a highly prospective area featuring the East Nordeau Zone with indicated resources of 17,500 ounces (0.3 million tonnes at 1.7 g/t Au) and inferred resources of 101,200 ounces (1.7 million tonnes at 1.9 g/t Au). The latter is the first ever resource estimate in this sector for which there has been only limited and relatively shallow testing. This sector hosts several newly defined high-priority drill targets.

The ENZ lies along an east-west trending, strongly sheared corridor (Cadillac Fault Zone) and occurs in an iron formation (Cadillac Group) within the turbiditic sedimentary rocks (wacke-mudrock) of Cadillac Group. This lithological unit is a favorable horizon for hydrothermal fluid flow, likely related to synvolcanic gold deposition.

The ENZ, defined by at least two parallel gold-rich zones, are typically and primarily associated with a medium to coarse-grained and disseminated pyrrhotite-pyrite-arsenopyrite mineralization, with a pervasive carbonate-garnet alteration, all crosscut by late-stage smoky quartz vein and veinlet stockworks.

Milestones of 2025-2027 Exploration Program

100,000 m Drilling Program (Q3 2025 to Q2 2027)

The ambitious 600-hole drilling program will both expand known gold zones and test new shallow surface high-potential targets. The objective is to unlock the camp-scale, high-grade gold potential along the 15 km Cadillac Fault Zone. It is important to note that Cartier’s recent consolidation of this large land holding offers the unique opportunity in over 90 years for unrestricted exploration.

Environmental Baseline Studies & Economic Evaluation of Chimo mine tailings (Q3 2025 to Q3 2026)

The baseline studies will be divided into two distinct parts which include 1) environmental baseline desktop study and 2) preliminary environmental geochemical characterization. The initial baseline studies will provide a comprehensive understanding of the current environmental conditions and implement operations that minimize environmental impact while optimizing the economic potential of the project. These studies will be supplemented by an initial assessment of the economic potential of the past-producing Chimo mine tailings to determine whether a quantity of gold can be extracted economically.

Metallurgical Sampling and Testwork Program (Q4 2025 to Q1 2026)

The metallurgical testwork program includes defining of expected gold recovery rates and improving historical results from the Chimo deposit, as well as establishing metallurgical recovery data for the first-time for the East Chimo and West Nordeau satellite deposits, where no previous data exists. This comprehensive program will characterize the mineralized material, gold recovery potential and validate optimal grind size defining the most efficient and cost-effective flowsheet. The data generated will directly support optimized project development and have the potential to significantly reduce both capital and operating costs, while also improving the environmental footprint.

Preliminary Economic Assessment (2026)

Internal engineering studies have been initiated to validate a multitude of development scenarios that consider the updated MRE and current market environment. Following the selection of the most optimal scenario, a PEA will be completed which will also build upon the results of the metallurgical testwork program and the environmental baseline studies to unveil the updated development strategy and vision of the project.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) Program

The drill core from the Cadillac Project is NQ-size and, upon receipt from the drill rig, is described and sampled by Cartier geologists. Core is sawn in half, with one half labelled, bagged and submitted for analysis and the other half retained and stored at Cartier’s coreshack facilities located in Val-d’Or, Quebec, for future reference and verification. As part of Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) program, Cartier inserts blank samples and certified reference materials (standards) at regular intervals into the sample stream prior to shipment to monitor laboratory performance and analytical accuracy.

Drill core samples are sent to MSALABS’s analytical laboratory located in Val-d’Or, Quebec, for preparation and gold analysis. The entire sample is dried and crushed (70% passing a 2-millimeter sieve). The analysis for gold is performed on an approximately 500 g aliquot using Chrysos Photon Assay™ technology, which uses high-energy X-ray excitation with gamma detection to quickly and non-destructively measure gold content.

Alternatively, samples are submitted to Activation Laboratories Ltd. (“Actlabs”), located in either Val-d’Or or Ste-Germaine-Boulé, both in Quebec, for preparation and gold analysis. The entire sample is dried, crushed (90% passing a 2-millimetre sieve) and 250 g is pulverized (90% passing a 0.07-millimetre sieve). The analysis for gold is conducted using a 50 g fire assay fusion with atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) finish, with a detection limit up to 10,000 ppb. Samples exceeding this threshold are reanalyzed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish to determine high-grade values accurately.

Both MSALABS and Actlabs are ISO/IEC 17025 accredited for gold assays and implement industry-standard QA/QC protocols. Their internal quality control programs include the use of blanks, duplicates, and certified reference materials at set intervals, with established acceptance criteria to ensure data integrity and analytical precision.

 Cartier Resources Inc. (″ Cartier ″ or the ″ Company ″) (TSXV: ECR; FSE: 6CA) is pleased to announce the seventh batch of results from the 100,000-m drilling program (2 drill rigs), for the Contact Sector and more precisely, the North Contact Zone (″ NCZ ″) and its east extension, on the 100%-owned Cadillac Project, located in Val-d’Or (Abitibi, Quebec). The NCZ consists of three parallel high-grade gold zones: NC1, NC2 and NC3, spaced approximately 50 m apart.

Strategic Highlights from Contact Sector

Drill Hole Results (Figures 1 to 4)
NCZ East Extension

• CA25-559 intersected 54.6 g/t Au over 1.0 m including 85.1 g/t Au over 0.5 m (NC1 Zone).
• CA25-558 graded 4.4 g/t Au over 6.0 m including 23.2 g/t Au over 1.0 m (NC3 Zone).
• CA25-557 reported 7.5 g/t Au over 0.5 m (NC3 Zone).

NCZ

• CA25-554 intersected 1.5 g/t Au over 15.5 m (NC3 Zone).
• CA25-547 graded 1.2 g/t Au over 13.2 m (NC3 Zone).
• CA25-552 reported 1.0 g/t Au over 10.5 m (NC3 Zone).

Significance for Investors

• Holes CA25-557, 558 and 559 discovered high-grade gold zones 500 metres along eastern strike extension of the NC1 and NC3 gold zones, significantly expands the North Contact main mineralized system. These new results, consistently associated with visible gold grains and sulphides, demonstrate the gold-fertile and robust geological continuity of the Contact Sector.
• Holes CA25-547, 552 and 554 confirmed NCZ extends to surface and remains open at depth, supporting the potential for shallow development scenarios and significant resource expansion. The NCZ represents an extensive and large mineralized gold system (400 m in strike length by 300 m in depth), comprised of multiple stacked gold zones with significant grades, widths and continuity.
• The combination of exposed bedrock, minimal overburden (5 m) and proximity to year-round road access (250 m) positions Contact Sector as a highly strategic asset for more flexible operating scenarios and further improving the project economics.

Next Steps

• Further expansion drilling is planned to expand NCZ gold mineralization at depth (300-600 m), connect footprint of NCZ and its eastern extensions and determine gold enrichment with the primary objective of upgrading the mineral resource estimate.
• Additional exploration drilling is required to test several new high-priority regional targets along strike of the Contact Sector and the Héva Fault Zone, backed by detailed structural and geological modelling and VRIFY’s artificial intelligence (AI) driven targeting.

” This discovery and results conclude what was planned at the Contact Sector of the current 100,000-meter program. Obviously, we’re convinced of the high gold potential of this segment of the Héva Fault and we are actively working to increase the current drilling program to 250,000 metres. The Contact Sector will no doubt receive focussed attention. This expanded campaign is designed to unlock maximum shareholder value and demonstrate the Cadillac Project’s potential as a mining camp scale. ” – Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO of Cartier.

” The North Contact Zone, its new eastern extensions and the systematic presence of visible gold grains over 1 km of the Héva Fault Zone highlights the strength and scale of the gold system. This newly identified fault is rapidly becoming a highly growth opportunity for the Cadillac project and defined by numerous untested geophysical anomalies over 5 km, readily accessible, providing huge upside potential for making gold discoveries. Our team is currently designing the add-on drill program to ready timely execution and strong results for shareholders. ” – Ronan Deroff, Vice President Exploration of Cartier.

Contact Sector

The Contact Sector is a highly prospective area featuring the North Contact Zone with inferred resources of 136,700 ounces (2.1 million tonnes at 2.0 g/t Au) and several newly defined high-priority drill targets.

The NCZ lies along an east-west trending, strongly sheared corridor (Héva Fault Zone), situated approximately 900 m north of the Cadillac Fault Zone, and occurs at the contact between the hanging wall mafic to intermediate volcanics (basalt to andesite) of Louvicourt Group and the footwall turbiditic sedimentary rocks (wacke-mudrock) of Cadillac Group. This lithological contact is a favorable horizon for hydrothermal fluid flow, likely related to synvolcanic gold deposition.

The NCZ, defined by at least three parallel gold-rich zones, are typically and primarily associated with a fine-grained and disseminated arsenopyrite-pyrrhotite mineralization, with a pervasive biotite-chlorite-carbonate alteration, all crosscut by late-stage smoky quartz vein and veinlet stockworks containing visible gold. Locally, accessory minerals such as sphalerite, galena and tourmaline are observed.

Milestones of 2025-2027 Exploration Program

100,000 m Drilling Program (Q3 2025 to Q2 2027)

The ambitious 600-hole drilling program will both expand known gold zones and test new shallow surface high-potential targets. The objective is to unlock the camp-scale, high-grade gold potential along the 15 km Cadillac Fault Zone. It is important to note that Cartier’s recent consolidation of this large land holding offers the unique opportunity in over 90 years for unrestricted exploration.

Environmental Baseline Studies & Economic Evaluation of Chimo mine tailings (Q3 2025 to Q3 2026)

The baseline studies will be divided into two distinct parts which include 1) environmental baseline desktop study and 2) preliminary environmental geochemical characterization. The initial baseline studies will provide a comprehensive understanding of the current environmental conditions and implement operations that minimize environmental impact while optimizing the economic potential of the project. These studies will be supplemented by an initial assessment of the economic potential of the past-producing Chimo mine tailings to determine whether a quantity of gold can be extracted economically.

Metallurgical Sampling and Testwork Program (Q4 2025 to Q1 2026)

The metallurgical testwork program includes defining of expected gold recovery rates and improving historical results from the Chimo deposit, as well as establishing metallurgical recovery data for the first-time for the East Chimo and West Nordeau satellite deposits, where no previous data exists. This comprehensive program will characterize the mineralized material, gold recovery potential and validate optimal grind size defining the most efficient and cost-effective flowsheet. The data generated will directly support optimized project development and have the potential to significantly reduce both capital and operating costs, while also improving the environmental footprint.

Preliminary Economic Assessment (2026)

Internal engineering studies have been initiated to validate a multitude of development scenarios that consider the updated MRE and current market environment. Following the selection of the most optimal scenario, a PEA will be completed which will also build upon the results of the metallurgical testwork program and the environmental baseline studies to unveil the updated development strategy and vision of the project.

* Occurrences of visible gold (VG) have been noted in the drill core at various intervals. ** Based on the observed intercept angles within the drill core, true thicknesses are estimated to represent approximately 50-75% of the reported core length intervals.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) Program

The drill core from the Cadillac Project is NQ-size and, upon receipt from the drill rig, is described and sampled by Cartier geologists. Core is sawn in half, with one half labelled, bagged and submitted for analysis and the other half retained and stored at Cartier’s coreshack facilities located in Val-d’Or, Quebec, for future reference and verification. As part of Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) program, Cartier inserts blank samples and certified reference materials (standards) at regular intervals into the sample stream prior to shipment to monitor laboratory performance and analytical accuracy.

Drill core samples are sent to MSALABS’s analytical laboratory located in Val-d’Or, Quebec, for preparation and gold analysis. The entire sample is dried and crushed (70% passing a 2-millimeter sieve). The analysis for gold is performed on an approximately 500 g aliquot using Chrysos Photon Assay™ technology, which uses high-energy X-ray excitation with gamma detection to quickly and non-destructively measure gold content.

Alternatively, samples are submitted to Activation Laboratories Ltd. (“Actlabs”), located in either Val-d’Or or Ste-Germaine-Boulé, both in Quebec, for preparation and gold analysis. The entire sample is dried, crushed (90% passing a 2-millimetre sieve) and 250 g is pulverized (90% passing a 0.07-millimetre sieve). The analysis for gold is conducted using a 50 g fire assay fusion with atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) finish, with a detection limit up to 10,000 ppb. Samples exceeding this threshold are reanalyzed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish to determine high-grade values accurately.

Both MSALABS and Actlabs are ISO/IEC 17025 accredited for gold assays and implement industry-standard QA/QC protocols. Their internal quality control programs include the use of blanks, duplicates, and certified reference materials at set intervals, with established acceptance criteria to ensure data integrity and analytical precision.

Millennial Potash Corp. (TSXV: MLP) (OTCQB: MLPNF) (FSE: X0D) (“MLP”, “Millennial” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced “bought deal” private placement offering (the “LIFE Offering”) of 5,750,000 units of the Company (the “LIFE Units”) at a price of $3.05 per LIFE Unit (the “Offering Price”) for gross proceeds of $17,537,500, including the full exercise of the option granted to the syndicate of Underwriters (as defined below) to purchase up to an additional 15% of the LIFE Units sold under the LIFE Offering.

The LIFE Offering was led by Cantor Fitzgerald Canada Corporation (“Cantor”), as lead underwriter and sole bookrunner, on its own behalf and on behalf of SCP Resource Finance LP (together with Cantor, the “Underwriters”).

The Company is also pleased to announce that, concurrent with the closing of the LIFE Offering, the Company closed the previously announced non-brokered private placement offering (the “Non-LIFE Offering) of 245,901 additional units of the Company (the “Non-LIFE Units”) at the Offering Price for additional gross proceeds of $750,000.

Each LIFE Unit and Non-LIFE Unit (collectively, the “Units”) consisted of one common share of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each full warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $4.00 for a period of 36 months from the closing date.

The net proceeds from the sale of the Units will be used by the Company for the costs for a definitive feasibility study for its Banio Potash Project as well as other uses, including for general working capital.

The LIFE Units were issued pursuant to Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions, as amended by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 – Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption, to purchasers resident in Ontario and British Columbia and in other qualifying jurisdictions outside of Canada on a private placement basis pursuant to relevant prospectus or registration exemptions in accordance with applicable laws.

The LIFE Units issued to subscribers under the LIFE Exemption are not subject to a hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws. The Non-LIFE Units, together with the Common Shares and Warrants comprising the Non-LIFE Units, are subject to a four-month resale restriction.

There is an offering document related to the Offering of Units that can be accessed under the Company’s issuer profile at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company’s website at www.millennialpotash.com.

In consideration for their services, the Company paid the Underwriters a cash commission equal to $1,052,250 and issued to the Underwriters non-transferable compensation options entitling the Underwriters to purchase up to 230,000 Common Shares at a price per Common Share equal to the Offering Price until January 29, 2029. The Common Shares underlying the compensation options are subject to a four-month resale restriction.

The LIFE Offering remains subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”).

Analysts working for investment houses get paid to take deep dives into the publicly available material on the companies they examine. Ron Stewart at Red Cloud has taken a comprehensive look at Tom Larsen’s Eloro Resources (ELO.T) and comes to the conclusion that it is a BUY with a twelve month target price of $5.50, almost double the current $3.25 share price.

To reach that conclusion, Stewart has constructed what amounts to a Preliminary Economic Assessment, complete with a re-analysis of the 2023 Mineral Resource Estimate to incorporate the drilling results since then. Red Cloud built a model:

This is a very reasonable model and the Red Cloud report explains, in detail, the assumptions and analysis which underlies it. Using a $75 spot price for silver and a $20 price for tin, Red Cloud comes up with a Net Present Value of 2.9 billion dollars. What happens when you plug in $94 dollar silver and $25 dollar tin? Using an entirely simplistic ratio formula, my numbers come out to a NPV of 3.6 billion, which is, of course, wrong, but interesting. (I also note that, for some reason, in its $75 scenario, Red Cloud sees silver equivalent Production dropping from 392 M oz AgEq to 324 M…What? If anything, production would be expected to rise as the price rises and the cutoff grade falls.)

It is very unlikely that Eloro will actually develop the mine, or mines, at Iska Iska. Larsen himself has often said that ELO is an exploration company not a mining company. Which means that Iska Iska will be sold on to a large balance sheet entity. Generally, the price of such a sale is a function of the Net Present Value of the mine discounted for the lead time, CAPEX, country risk and whatever wheeling and dealing takes place. 5-10% of NPV is a decent approximation. 10% of 2.9 billion is 290 million dollars which is a little less than ELO’s current market cap of $331 million dollars. But beware the currency conversion, Red Cloud’s model is in USD, ELO trades in CDN. That 290 million USD is 401,360,000 CDN or $3.75 a share. (Using my quick ratio number of 3.9 billion USD NPV, 10% is $390 million USD and 539.7 million Canadian for….$5.07 a share Canadian. Not far off Red Cloud’s target of $5.50.)

Analysts love to do “peer comparisons”, but Mr. Stewart was at a loss:

“Peer Analysis. Due to the unique nature of the Iska Iska deposit, we were unable to identify any legitimate peers with a similar suite of metals. We are aware that the Bolivian San Cristobal Ag-Pb-Zn open pit mine owned and operated privately by Crescat Capital is comparable, but no data is available in the public domain.”

Iska Iska is a bit of a unicorn.

Not to be deterred, Red Cloud looked at silver peers.

Here’s what Red Cloud had to say about this silver peer comparison:

“Despite the fact that Eloro has the largest AgEq resource base, it has the second-lowest market cap and at US$0.22/oz has the lowest EV/oz AgEq.  When we assess the EV/oz of ELO’s high-grade resource, it is still 30% lower than the median value of its peers.”

No kidding. In fact, purely on the silver, ELO is radically undervalued relative to its peers.

Evaluating the tin resource is even more challenging.

“Market Intelligence forecasts demand will continue to expand by 2.5% CAGR over the next 5-years from 430Kt in 2025. China, Indonesia, Myanmar and the DRC account for over 60% of the global supply of tin. Over the past 5-years the tin price has averaged ~uS$14.00/lb and ranged from a low of US$8.80/lb in late 2022 to the current peak of US$24.60/lb.  Prices have been impacted by supply disruptions and demand growth.  We have assumed a price of US$12.50/lb.”

Here is the 2023 Iska Iska estimated tin endowment relative to other tin projects. It is an interesting list.

Here’s the thing, Red Cloud is very likely underestimating the tin values at Iska Iska because it is basing its tin numbers on the 2023 MRE before Eloro began to find tin in easily recoverable form. Here’s what Tom Larsen had to say a year ago:

“This changed at the beginning of 2025. CEO Tom Larsen explained in a Motherlodetv.net interview:

The tin grades were good but Larsen is really excited about the way the tin is emplaced. “Previously the tin we encountered was lower grade sulfide material. We had around 50% recovery on that material,” said Larsen. “The tin we encountered in this breccia (TIB (Tertiary Intrusive Breccia) on Figure) is visible coarse-grained high temperature cassiterite. Very similar to the tin found at other mines in Bolivia’s tin belt. You get much better recoveries, 80% or better. And you can use gravity separation for recovery which is much less expensive.”

(Update 22-01-2026): Tom Larsen read this article and wants to walk back his tin recovery numbers from a year ago, in an email,

“I would say that extensive metallurgical testing on tin recoveries in the last year point to 55 percent recoveries to date..similar to Chorolque 40 kms north of Iska Iska on the tin belt ,a large Comibol backed domestic producer of tin and also similar recoveries to the San Raphael tin mine owned by Minsur at the top of the Bolivian tin belt in South East Peru.”

Very much appreciated, Tom.)

Red Cloud says,

“Based on the 2023 MRE Iska Iska ranks among the world’s largest tin deposits, however recovery estimates are on the order of 50% due to the variety of mineral species and fine-grained nature of some of a portion of the metal.”

It is a forgivable error simply because the tin recovery from cassiterite has not be hugely featured in the Eloro press releases. But 80% is very different from 50% and assuming a $12.50 tin price is far too conservative in a $25.00 tin spot price world.

The Red Cloud coverage is worth reading. I suspect Red Cloud would be happy to forward a copy of the full report if you get directly in touch with rstewart@redcloudsecurities.com. Understanding Iska Iska is a huge job and Stewart has taken a mighty swing. The forthcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment is going to tell a very interesting story.
