Gold price extends loss as Fed cuts rates, signals less easing
New forecasts showed several officials penciled in fewer rate cuts for next year than estimated.
Cartier Resources (TSXV: ECR) has reported high-grade drill results from the western part of its flagship East Cadillac gold property, located 45 km east of the Val-d’Or mining camp of Quebec.
The 2024 exploration drilling program consisted of 162 holes for a total of 28,084 metres, spread over 49 different drill sites. From this, the company has so far discovered, over a distance of 10 km within the Larder Lake-Cadillac fault zone, 10 high-grade gold areas.
The latest results showed an extension of high-grade gold over the 10 km strike length. These include: 44.7 g/t gold over 0.5 metre with eight visible clusters of gold and 7.9 g/t gold over 1 metre in the Blue Grass sector, and 17 g/t gold over 0.5 metres with one cluster of visible gold in the West Portal sector.
The drilling also expanded an area of high-grade gold, with results of 18 g/t gold over 1.7 metres, included within 7.5 g/t gold over 4.6 metres with one cluster of visible gold, within the West Simon sector.
“The 10 high-grade gold areas discovered in 2024 are in a prolific fault zone recognized for its mining potential and reported in a high gold price environment, provide the key elements required for rapid development of the East Cadillac asset,” CEO Philippe Cloutier said.
Val-d’Or’s proximity to the Abitibi gold belt has made it a large gold producer, being part of a region that produced 45 million oz. of gold since the 1930s.
