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
Gold Candle also outlines 2025 Exploration Plan with 50,000 metres at Kerr-Addison
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.
About the Kerr-Addison Deposit
Kerr-Addison is an orogenic gold deposit in the Abitibi greenstone belt, controlled by the Larder-Lake-Cadillac Deformation Zone. The deposit produced over 11 million ounces of gold, with mineralization occurring in quartz stockwork veins, free gold and disseminated pyrite and arsenopyrite.

Montfort Capital Announces First Quarter 2025 Financial Results and CFO Transition
TORONTO, June 11, 2025 /CNW/ - Montfort Capital Corp. ("Montfort" or the "Company") (TSXV: MONT), today announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025. All figures are reported in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted. Financial Highlights For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company delivered the following results: Loans receivable - net of allowance as at March 31, 2025 was flat compared to the balance at December 31, 2024, as loan growth in the Langhaus and Nuvo businesses was offset by a decline in the Pivot loan book. Total revenue decreased by $0.3 million or 31% compared to Q1 2024, primarily reflecting lower transaction fee income generated by the Pivot business. Total expenses decreased by $0.6 million or 25% compared to Q1 2024, as management's effort to improve operating efficiency has resulted in reduced staffing and other overhead costs. The net loss from continuing operations for the quarter was $1.1 million compared to a net loss of $1.5 million in Q1 2024, mainly reflecting the savings in operating expenses. The net loss from discontinued operations increased $3.1 million or 442% to $3.8 million compared to Q1 2024, driven by expected credit loss provisions in the Brightpath mortgage business that was sold subsequent to period end. "Our efforts to streamline operating expenses were evident this quarter as we saw a 25% reduction on a year over year basis" said Ken Thomson, CEO of Montfort. "As our core business units continue to grow and we make ongoing refinements to our cost structure, we are positioning our platform for sustainable future growth." CFO Transition Montfort also announced the upcoming departure of Mr. Josh Reusing, Chief Financial Officer for the Company. Mr. Reusing will be replaced by Mr. Sam Hall, effective June 20, 2025. "We'd like to thank Josh for his efforts in the CFO role during a challenging transition period for the Company and wish him well in his future endeavours" said Ken Thomson, CEO of Montfort. "We are also pleased to welcome Sam to the CFO position. Already a trusted senior leader at Montfort, Sam will now play an increased role in guiding the overall growth of the Company."

Martello continues to invest in its Mitel business, working closely with Mitel and its channel partners to offer experience management solutions for Mitel, Microsoft Teams and Zoom environments and extend its capabilities into Unify. Chairman Terry Matthews demonstrated continued support and confidence in Martello by investing CAD $2M in a private placement completed in Q4 FY25.

Q4 and FY25 Financial Highlights Financial Highlights March 31, March 31, March 31, March 31, (in 000's) 2025 2024 2025 2024 (Three months ended) (Twelve months ended) Sales $ 3,376 3,808 14,531 15,773 Cost of Goods Sold 468 482 2,000 1,943 Gross Margin 2,908 3,326 12,530 13,830 Gross Margin % 86.1 % 87.3 % 86.2 % 87.7 % Operating Expenses 4,249 4,567 16,669 17,425 Loss from operations (1,341) (1,242) (4,138) (3,595) Other income/(expense) (361) (459) (1,686) (2,163) Loss before income tax (1,701) (1,700) (5,824) (5,759) Income tax recovery 94 - 128 15 Net loss (1,607) (1,700) (5,696) (5,744) Total Comprehensive loss $ (1,580) (1,770) (5,877) (5,680) EBITDA (1) $ (734) (886) (2,193) (1,799) Adjusted EBITDA (1) $ (820) (791) (2,022) (1,487) (1) Non-IFRS measure. See "Non-IFRS Financial Measures". Revenue was $14.5M in FY25 and $3.38M in Q4 FY25, representing an 8% and 11% decrease, respectively, compared to the prior period. The decline in revenue was due to expected declines in legacy products and related support and maintenance revenue. Vantage DX contributed $2.55M in revenue in FY25, a 6% increase compared to FY24. Vantage DX monthly recurring revenue ("MRR") decreased by 6% in Q4 FY25 compared to Q4 FY24. Sunsetting legacy product revenue declined by 25% or $0.38M in Q4 FY25 compared to Q4 FY24, and 15% or $0.97M in FY25 compared to FY24. The ongoing decline of legacy product revenue is proceeding as expected. Revenue from the Mitel business segment decreased slightly by 3% in Q4 FY25 compared to the same period in the prior year and decreased by 6% in FY25 compared to FY24. This decrease is attributable to a revenue mix change from various Mitel Performance Analytics offerings. The Mitel business represents a growth opportunity as it continues to be a large source of revenue and gross margin, representing 45% of total revenues in FY25 (compared to 44% in FY24) and 97% gross margin as a percentage of segment revenue. 98% of total revenues were recurring in FY25 and the comparative period, with 97% of revenues recurring in Q4 FY25 compared to 98% in Q4 FY24. Gross margin was 86% in Q4 FY25 and in FY25, compared to 88% in Q4 FY24 and FY24. The decrease is attributable to lower revenue and an increase in installation, delivery and hosting costs. Management continues to execute a strategy to reduce hosting costs. Monthly recurring revenue ("MRR") decreased by 13% to $1.09M in Q4 FY25 compared to $1.25M in the prior year. The decrease is primarily attributable to expected declines in sunsetting legacy product renewal revenue and changes in the mix of users subscribed to certain Mitel offerings. Operating expenses decreased by 7% to $4.25M in Q4 FY25 and by 4% to $16.67M in FY25, compared to $4.57M in Q4 FY24, and $17.43M in FY24. The decrease is attributed to higher government grants and lower headcount costs, partially offset by an increase in marketing spend, professional fees and software subscriptions. The Company continues to invest in Vantage DX revenue growth as management monitors value for spend in all functions of the value chain. Loss from operations was $1.34M in Q4 FY25 and $4.14M in FY25, compared to $1.24M and $3.60M, respectively. The increase in loss from operations is attributable to the decrease in revenue as described above, partially offset by lower operating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA (a non-IFRS measure) was a loss of $0.82M in Q4 FY25 and $2.02M in FY25 compared to $0.79M in Q4 FY24 and $1.49M in FY24, attributable to the items described above. The Company's cash and short-term investments balance was $6.69M as of March 31, 2025 (compared to $7.72M at March 31, 2024). The financial statements, notes and Management Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") are available under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at and on Martello's website at The financial statements include the wholly-owned subsidiaries of Martello.
