Exploration company Cartier Resources has declared the initial assay results from the phase II drill campaign performed on its Langlade deposit located on the Cadillac Extension property.
One sulphide interval returned about 3.6 g/t gold, 109 g/t silver, 10.4% copper and 1.4% zinc over 0.6 m inside a low grade disseminated sulphide zone.
In addition, Cartier has reported encouraging results from an IPower3D survey conducted on a 4-km2 region enclosing the Langlade drilling region. Ten priority targets were highlighted through this survey, which includes large or distributed sulphides in a region that has not been tested yet.
In order to increase the sensitivity of the induced polarization (IP) technique at two levels, the IPower3D configuration was performed. Readings were obtained in various directions to get the highest sensitivity in spite of the direction of the mineralized zones. In contrast to standard 2D array, about 10x more data was obtained in the field with the IPower3D configuration. Chargeability reading values from the IPower3D configuration allowed the company to detect anomalies, and this significantly improved the level of investigation as well as the ability to cross conductive overburden.
On the Langlade deposit survey, the data inversion product from 27 040 readings of chargeability and resistivity is a 3D database of the bedrock chargeability and resistivity.
Cartier Resources’ President and CEO, Philippe Cloutier stated that the conductive anomaly is located adjacent to the newly intersected sulphides and represents a key target region for the company. Cloutier added that a drill rig will be organized on these targets, next to the Langlade deposit.
