Cartier Iron Intersects Major New Anomalous Alteration Zone Grading 0.11 g Au/t and 2.65 g Ag/t over 180.4 m at Big Easy in Newfoundland

20.12.2018  |  GlobeNewswire
  • New zone is on the west edge of the Central Anomaly located 1.8 km south of the Big Easy Showing
  • Includes 40m grading 0.28 g Au/t and 6.34 g Ag/t and 4.8 m grading 1.26 g Au/t and 33.19 g Ag/t
  • Hole testing downdip extension of Big Easy showing intersected 10.6m of 0.45 g Au/t and 84.96 g Ag/t including 3.9m grading 0.54 g Au/t and 224.9 g Ag/t.

TORONTO, Dec. 20, 2018 - Cartier Iron Corp. (CSE: CFE) (“Cartier Iron”), is pleased to report results from the first two diamond drill holes from a four hole, 1,249m program, at its Big Easy Gold project located on the Burin Peninsula in eastern Newfoundland. The first hole, BE18-29, tested the downdip potential of the Big Easy showing while three holes tested the Central Induced Polarization (IP) chargeability anomaly located 1.8km south of the Big Easy showing (see press release May 1, 2018). Hole BE18-30 was drilled on the western edge of the Central Anomaly. Hole BE18-31 was collared 40m west of Hole BE18-30 while hole BE18-32 was collared on the eastern edge of the Central Anomaly 200m east of Hole BE18-30. The Central Anomaly as well as other major chargeability anomalies on the property occur under prominent bogs hence drilling in the core of these anomalies must be carried out in the winter. Table 1 gives significant results and Table 2 gives details on collar coordinates and drill hole orientation.

Hole BE18-30 intersected a new very wide anomalous alteration zone which returned 180.4 m grading 0.11 g Au/t and 2.65 g Ag/t. Within this extensive zone there is a 40m section which returned 0.28 g Au/t and 6.34 g Ag/t including 4.8m grading 1.26 g Au/t and 33.19 g Ag/t.

Hole BE18-29 which tested the potential downdip extension of the Big Easy Showing returned 10.6m of 0.45 g Au/t and 84.96 g Ag/t including 3.9m grading 0.54 g Au/t and 224.9 g Ag/t. The downdip extension is marked by a chargeability anomaly which appears to be stronger with depth.

Tom Larsen, President & CEO of Cartier Iron said: “Considering the reconnaissance nature of this drill program and the limited meterage of 617m reported, these results are very encouraging and we look forward to receiving the results from the remaining two holes which should be available in the near future. We plan to do a winter drill program in conjunction with efficient accessibility after bog freeze-up of at least 1,000m to further test the Central Anomaly as well as other similar geophysical targets to the west and south.”

Dr. Bill Pearson, P.Geo., Chief Technical Advisor, commented: “The results from Hole BE18-30 indicate that the chargeability anomaly reflects an extensive zone of epithermal alteration and mineralization that is up to 200m wide with a depth extent of at least 250m. The grades are consistently anomalous throughout the entire section suggesting the potential for a well mineralized core zone in the strongest part of the chargeability anomaly (Figures 1 and 2). The mineralized alteration zone was also intersected in the upper part of Hole BE18-31 and the lower part of BE18-32 but results on these holes are pending. This zone is completely open along strike and at depth.”
