Cartier Resources Inc. (TSXV: ECR, FSE: 6CA) (“Cartier” or the
“Company”) announces results from the ongoing drill program for the
Chimo Mine Project
(
FIGURE 2). The Project
comprises the Chimo Mine and East Cadillac properties, the latter
of which was acquired on April 7, 2022.
Cartier began
exploring of this part of the East Cadillac property on January 4,
2024. Both properties are 100% owned by Cartier and
strategically located 45 km east of the Val-d’Or mining camp.
The high-grade gold mineralization intersected
is located within the Larder Lake - Cadillac Fault Zone, recognized
over a 20 km strike length of the Chimo Mine Project. The current
Drill Program is currently exploring 54 targets over half (10 km)
of the Project's gold discovery potential.
Furthermore, this new type of mineralization is
found in sedimentary rocks where gold concentrations are, for this
Project, generally higher than those found in volcanic rocks. The
longitudinal section of the VG9 target (FIGURE 1)
illustrates the high values obtained.
“These results present a second type of gold
mineralization for the Chimo Mine Project, demonstrating the
significant potential of this Project; located over more than 20 km
of the Larder Lake - Cadillac Fault Zone,” commented Cartier’s
President and CEO.

The lengths of the mineralized intersections are
expressed as measured lengths along the drill core.The estimated
true widths of the mineralized intersections are approximately 70%
to 85% of the reported lengths.

About Cartier Resources Inc.
Founded in 2006, Cartier Resources Inc. is an
exploration company based in Val-d’Or, Quebec, Canada. The
Company’s projects are located in Quebec, which consistently ranks

Quality Assurance / Quality
Control
For each batch of samples sent to the
laboratory, Cartier inserts 5% of the number of samples in the form
of certified standards and another 5% in the form of blanks to
ensure quality control. The samples are analyzed at the Techni-Lab
(Actlabs) laboratory in Ste-Germaine-Boulé, Quebec, Canada. Samples
weighing 3 to 5 kg are crushed by the laboratory to 90% passing 10
mesh (2.00 mm), then a 500 g fraction of each sample is
pulverized to 90% passing 200 mesh (0.07 mm). The resulting 50
g pulps are analyzed by fire assay with an atomic absorption
finish. Samples with results ≥ 1.0 g/t and < 10.0 g/t are
re-assayed by fire assay with an atomic absorption finish. Results
greater than or equal to 10.0 g/t Au are analyzed by fire assay
with a gravimetric finish. For samples containing visible gold, a
500 g subsample of rock is analyzed by the metallic sieve
method.

information in this news release was prepared and reviewed by Mr.
Gaétan Lavallière, P.Geo., Ph.D., Vice-President, and Mr. Ronan
