Gold Candle Discovers New High-Grade Mineralization at the Party Wall Zone, intersecting 1.8m at 130 g/t Au and 10.5m at 7.1 g/t Au
TORONTO, May 20, 2025 /CNW/ - Gold Candle Ltd. is pleased to announce the discovery of new high-grade mineralization called the Party Wall zone, including 1.80 m at 130 g/t Au and 10.5 m at 7.1 g/t Au. Other recent intercepts from nearby targets returned 4.0 m at 41.57 g/t Au and 11.05 m at 4.22 g/t.
The Party Wall is the extension of the Kerr-Addison mineralized system east of the historical-mined areas, below the former Chesterville Mine.
The Company is also ramping up exploration at the project with over 50,000 metres of drilling planned for 2025. Gold Candle has added two more drill rigs to the program following a new exploration targeting review.
"The year has started strong for Gold Candle and these new high grade results from the Party Wall Zone highlight the incredible strength of the Kerr-Addison Mine. It is important to note that the Party Wall is open along strike and at depth. Also, these results are in areas that were not previously mined," said Gold Candle COO Leon Leblanc. "The team completed key milestones with the release of Kerr-Addison's updated mineral resource and the initial resource on the Geminid nickel zone providing us with a strong base as we move forward. I'm excited to see the team executing on our ambitious 12-month exploration plan aiming at expanding the current resource away from the historical Kerr-Addison mine and looking across our property for new discoveries. The Company is ramping up exploration at the project with over 50,000 metres of drilling planned for 2025. Gold Candle has added two more drill rigs to the program following a recent exploration targeting review."
Kerr-Addison Near Mine Drilling
Following the update of the Kerr-Addison Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE), several significant drill results have been returned from near-mine targets:
Party Wall Zone
KAD24-320T: 762.26-764.06 m; 1.80 m @ 130.02 g/t (23.08 g/t capped)
KAD24-320T: 818.06-826.60 m; 10.54 m @ 7.10 g/t
Footwall Zones
KAD24-322B1: 882.50-895.10 m; 12.60 m @ 2.17 g/t
KAD24-322B3: 1513.0-1517.0 m; 4.00 m @ 41.57 g/t (20.44 g/t capped)
KAD24-324T: 345.0-370.1 m; 25.05 m @ 1.70 g/t
Kearns Zone
KAD24-321B1: 778.0-778.70 m; 0.70 m @ 145.50 g/t (50 g/t capped)
KAD24-321B3: 1080.0-1091.0 m; 11.05 m @ 4.22 g/t
The Company is also carrying out mining, metallurgical and environmental studies supporting an ongoing scoping study on Kerr-Addison. Along with the additional drilling, Gold Candle plans to use the results of the scoping study to move towards a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) in 2026.
" The recent drilling results are very encouraging and increase our confidence in the growth potential of areas where no mining or exploration had been done before. We are actively adding quality ounces in a well-understood geological context that can be easily included in future resource updates and economic studies. The site now has six units actively drilling, including one drilling over 2.5 km deep below the historic mine to test the roots of this world class high-grade system for the first time on the Project," said Gold Candle VP Exploration Dean Crick. "As we're progressing with the economic studies on Kerr-Addison, we're excited to see how our drilling results can provide an even more compelling resource base for future studies. Advancing Kerr-Addison towards what we see developing as a long-lived Tier-1 operation in the heart of the Abitibi.''
The 2025 exploration plan is designed to accelerate the defining of new ore zones by aggressively drilling: 1) Near Mine Targets, adding two drills to the existing three currently advancing Party Wall Zone, the Kearns Zone sitting east of the former operation and Footwall (FW) zones south of the historical orebody and deep targets about 2 km below surface and; 2) Regional targets, with one drill currently active on the Geminid zone and moving later this year to greenfield targets east of Kerr-Addison along the 5 km section of the Cadillac Larder Lake Break (CCLB).
Gold Candle's exploration zones and current drilling activities are shown on the following maps, highlighting the Kerr-Addison-Chesterville complex and the Geminid discovery within the Company's regional land holdings.

The latest earnings call from Ford Motor Company presented a mixed sentiment, reflecting both commendable achievements and notable challenges. The company reported strong revenue performance and market share gains, alongside strategic improvements in cost efficiency and credit performance. However, it also faced significant challenges, including tariff headwinds, quality and recall issues, and pressure in the commercial vehicle market. Record Revenue Achievement Ford reported a record $50 billion in revenue for the second quarter, underscoring the strength of its product lineup. This milestone highlights the company's ability to leverage its diverse offerings to capture market demand effectively. Ford Pro Performance Ford Pro's revenue grew by 11% to nearly $19 billion, achieving a 12.3% EBIT margin. This growth was driven by a robust product lineup and disciplined pricing strategies, showcasing Ford's strategic focus on its professional segment. Market Share Gains Ford increased its market share in the U.S. by 1.7 points sequentially, marking the best sales quarter for trucks in 20 years. This gain reflects the company's competitive positioning and strong consumer demand for its truck offerings. Improved Cost Efficiency Ford achieved its fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year cost improvement, excluding the impact of tariffs. This demonstrates Ford's commitment to operational efficiency and cost management. Positive Credit Performance Ford Credit delivered $645 million of EBT, up $300 million, supported by a strong financing margin and receivables growth.

Strong Free Cash Flow Ford generated $2.8 billion in adjusted free cash flow, maintaining a strong balance sheet with $28 billion in cash. This financial strength provides Ford with flexibility to invest in future growth opportunities. Tariff Headwinds Ford expects tariffs to be a net headwind of about $2 billion for the year, impacting adjusted EBIT. This challenge highlights the external pressures affecting Ford's profitability. Recall and Quality Challenges Ford faced a record number of recalls, although many were software-related, which are less costly than mechanical recalls. This indicates ongoing quality control challenges that the company needs to address. Model e Margin Pressure Despite revenue growth, Model e faced margin pressure due to high fixed costs associated with EV production. This reflects the broader industry challenge of balancing growth and profitability in the electric vehicle market. Price Pressure in Commercial Vehicles Pricing pressure was noted in the commercial van segment, although full-size pickup pricing remained strong. This suggests competitive dynamics in certain segments of Ford's commercial vehicle offerings. Forward-Looking Guidance Ford updated its full-year guidance, expecting adjusted EBIT between $6.5 billion and $7.5 billion, with adjusted free cash flow forecasted at $3.5 billion to $4.5 billion, despite a net tariff headwind of approximately $2 billion. The company highlighted a record quarterly revenue of $50 billion, with adjusted EBIT at $2.1 billion. Ford Pro maintained strong performance, while Model e more than doubled its revenue, achieving significant margin improvement. Ford also emphasized ongoing cost improvements and a reduction in CO2 credit purchases. In summary, Ford's earnings call presented a balanced view of its current performance and future prospects. While the company celebrated record revenues and market share gains, it also acknowledged challenges such as tariff impacts and quality issues. The forward-looking guidance reflects Ford's strategic focus on sustaining growth and improving operational efficiency amidst external pressures.
