As previously announced (see Cartier Iron’s press release dated August 30, 2018), Cartier Iron has retained New Valley Drilling to complete up to 2,000 metres of diamond drilling to test major target areas outlined by the winter Induced Polarization/Resistivity survey. The drill is presently being mobilized to site, with drilling expected to commence on September 24, 2018. This drilling will be a good initial test of the major anomalies and provide important information to relate mineralization with the geophysical response. Locations of the planned holes are provided in the August 30, 2018 press release.
