Cartier Resources Inc. is pleased to announce it has awarded the contract for beginning the first environmental baseline studies for the Cadillac project and an initial evaluation of economic assessment of the past-producing Chimo mine tailings to Stantec, a global leader in sustainable design and engineering. The baseline studies will be divided into two distinct parts which include 1) environmental baseline desktop study and 2) preliminary environmental geochemical characterization.
” These initial baseline studies will form a foundation for Cartier by providing a comprehensive understanding of the current environmental conditions and identifying potential impacts of future development planning of the Cadillac project. The results will help guide our advancing strategies in a responsible and sustainable manner, enabling the design and implementing operations that minimize environmental impact while optimizing the economic potential of the project. ” – Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO of Cartier.
” We continue to advance the Cadillac project with a dual-focus strategy: drilling an ambitious 100,000-meter drilling campaign that combines the extensions of known gold zones and the exploration of new high-priority targets, identified using cutting-edge AI technology through our collaboration with VRIFY and now launching of the foundational environmental baseline studies. These efforts will be conducted simultaneously, with the potential for additional work emerging as the project advances. ” – Ronan Deroff, Vice President Exploration of Cartier.
Part 1 – Environmental Baseline Desktop Study
The environmental desktop study aims to document and characterize the potential environmental constraints on the Cadillac project footprint. This approach identifies potential environmental issues, such as atmospheric conditions, surface and groundwater management, wetlands and natural environments, terrestrial, avian and aquatic fauna as well as land uses.
The approach consists of a rigorous document review that will allow for planning the future general development of the Cadillac project, identifying sensitive areas and minimizing environmental impacts. This first step will permit to plan a comprehensive field work as a next step to the environmental baseline studies. All the information will be sufficiently comprehensive to serve as a basis for drafting Chapter 20 of a possible update to the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA).
