## Minestarters Atlas summary

Cartier Resources has commenced a metallurgical testwork program at its Cadillac Project in Quebec, focusing on the Chimo, East Chimo, and West Nordeau deposits. The program, supervised by Soutex and conducted at ALS Canada, aims to define gold recovery rates and support future flowsheet development, with results expected in Q1 2026.

Reasoning: The announcement details the commencement of a structured metallurgical program to de-risk the Cadillac Project, though actual results are not yet available.

- Positive factor: Establishing first-time metallurgical data for satellite deposits

- Positive factor: Use of specialized consulting firm Soutex

- Positive factor: Comprehensive testing including comminution and mineralogical characterization

- Negative factor: No actual recovery results reported yet \(program is underway\)

Facts used in scoring: 3

## Classification and evidence

**Bench Scale Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Only preliminary bench tests completed — no locked-cycle or pilot work.

Why it applies: The program is in the early stages of testing composites via cyanidation and gravimetric separation.

Evidence · text

> The preparation and testing process of the composites of the three deposits will be subject to cyanidation tests at three different grind sizes.

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
