Cartier and SOQUEM Mobilize Two Drills for 7000-meter Drill Program on Fenton Property

Exploration Programs

For immediate release

Cartier and SOQUEM Mobilize Two Drills

for 7000-meter Drill Program on Fenton Property

Val-d’Or, November 2nd , 201 7 – Cartier Resources Inc. (TSX-V: ECR) ("Cartier") is pleased to

announce that a 7000-meter drill program has been launched on the Fenton property, situa ted 50 km

south-east of Chapais. Two drills will be employed for this program in order to explore the depth

extension of the gold mineralization of the Fenton deposit (FIGURE).

The Fenton deposit was drill up to a depth of 200 meters. The deeper drilling of this program aims at

increasing the dimensions of the deposit. The drill holes will also test the Dyke Zone ( FIGURE), which

could lead to outlining additional gold bearing zones peripheral to the Fenton de posit.

The following are a selection of historical results from the Fenton deposit:

Channel Samples1 Drill Hole Intersections1

9.9 g/t Au / 13.5 m 7.7 g/t Au / 13.9 m inclus dans 4.8 g/t Au / 25.4 m

5.9 g/t Au / 16.5 m 8.0 g/t Au / 8.0 m inclus dans 2.3 g/t Au / 52.0 m

6.2 g/t Au / 12.0 m 6.4 g/t Au / 4.0 m inclus dans 2.0 g/t Au / 47.8 m

13.2 g/t Au / 4.3 m inclus dans 2.4 g/t Au / 24.7 m

Lengths are expressed along drill core axis. The true thickness was not determined. 1Cartier believes the

information is reliable, but has not re -assayed any of the drill core. Additional drilling will be necessary to confirm

the results from previous drilling programs.

A historical estimate, reports 426,173 tons grading 4.66 g/t Au corresponding to 63,885 oz Au of w hich

23,643 oz Au are located in the first 50 m below the surface. This estimate was made in 2000 by M.

Denis Chenard, Eng. Datac Geo-Conseil Enrg on behalf of Boreal Exploration from 73 holes drilled on

the three main areas of the Fenton Gold Deposit. This calculation was performed with a lower cut -off

grade of 2.0 g/t Au and true minimum thickness of 1.0 m. The qualified person ha s not done sufficient

work to classify the resources covered by the estimate as current mineral resources to date. The

Issuer does not consider the resources covered by the estimate as cur rent mineral resources to date

as defined by National Instrument 43-101.

« The Fenton property is situated 50 km north of the Windfall Lake gold deposit and 50 km east of the

Bachelor Mine » commented Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO of Cartier adding, « This drill

program aims at increasing the potential of the project in an area already known as being favorable ».

SOQUEM, a subsidiary of Ressources Québec, is a leading player in mineral exploration in Québec.

Its mission is to explore, discover and develop mining properties in Québec. SOQUEM has

participated in more than 350 exploration projects and contributed to major discoveries of gold,

diamonds, lithium and other minerals.
