Cartier and SOQUEM Intersect 29.6 g/t Au over 2.0 m
and Doubles the Extension at Depth of the Fenton Deposit
Val-d’Or, June 5th, 2018 – Cartier Resources Inc. (TSX -V: ECR) ("Cartier") is pleased to
announce the results of the 7,814 m drilling campaign on the Fenton property, located 50 km
southwest of Chapais . The new results (TABLE) were intersected up to a depth of 625 m
along the geometric extent of the Fenton gold deposit, where a historical resource estimate of
63,885 ounces (D. Chénard, Datac Géo -Conseil Enrg., 2000) is reported. These results
extend the gold potential up to 340 m below the Fenton deposit ( FIGURE). The property is
50% owned by SOQUEM and 50% owned by Cartier.
The new results below the Fenton deposit include intersections of 29.6 g/t Au / 2.0 m included
within a 20.0 m section grading 3.4 g/t Au also included within a section 64.7 m-wide
grading 1.5 g/t Au. The Dyke Zone, located 100 m to the north, also extends at depth with a
geometry and characteristics similar to the Fenton deposit ( FIGURE) (8.1 g/t Au / 2.0 m
included within a section of 11.0 m grading 3.8 g/t Au, also included within a 25.0 m wide
interval grading 2.1 g/t Au was reported in a press release dated January 31, 2018). The
Fenton deposit and the Dyke zone therefore consist of high grade intersections within wider
gold bearing envelopes.

About Cartier
Cartier Resources was founded in 2006 and is based at Val-d'Or, Quebec. Quebec has
consistently ranked high as one of the best mining jurisdictions in the world primarily based on
its mineral rich geology, attractive tax environment and pro -mining government. In 2017, the
Fraser Institute again ranked Quebec as one of the best jurisdictions in the world for investment
attractiveness.
Cartier Investment Highlights
The Corporation has a strong cash position with $13M in the bank and important corporate
and institutional investors including Agnico Eagle Mines, JP Morgan UK and the Quebec
investment funds.
Cartier’s strategy is to focus on gold projects th at are relatively advanced with significant
potential for resource expansion.
The Corporation holds a portfolio of advanced stage exploration projects in the Abitibi
Greenstone Belt in Quebec.
The Corporation is focused on advancing its four key projects through drill programs. All of
these projects were acquired at very reasonable valuations over the past few years. All of
them are drill ready with targets identified similar to the deposits that have been outlined on
each project.
The Chimo Mine proje ct is a historic gold producer. Three other projects, namely Wilson,
Benoist and Fenton, hold historic resource estimates.
Fenton Project Fenton Highlights
The Fenton gold deposit has a range of historic intersections ranging from 6.4 to 24.5 g/t Au
over lengths varying from 2.6 to 7.6 m in wider sections with grades ranging from 1.7 at
4.0 g/t Au over lengths ranging from 24.8 to 52.0 m. A historical resource estimate, completed
in 2000 by Mr. Denis Chénard, Eng. from Datac Géo-Conseil Enrg., reports 426 173 tonnes to
4.66 g/t Au corresponding to 63,885 oz Au.
The Fenton Gold Deposit has been tested down to 100 m below surface but minor testing
below this depth.
The Fenton Gold Deposit consists of a mineralized envelop over 350 m long within highly
magnetic unit striking NNW-SSE.
The mineralization is comprised of traces to 30% pyrite -pyrrhotite with chalcopyrite
concentration associated with gold. Silica-sericite-carbonate alteration zone are observed .
Gold is intimately associated with the sulphides.
The Fenton Deposit is composed of 5 closely spaced tubular gold-bearing zones.
To date, 119 drill holes were completed on the Fenton Gold Deposit for a total of 24,267 m.
The property 50% owned by SOQUEM and 50% owned by Cartier. SOQUEM is the project
manager.

Québec. Its mission is to explore, discover and develop mining properties in Québec.
SOQUEM has participated in more than 350 explor ation projects and contributed to major
discoveries of gold, diamonds, lithium and other minerals.
