Cartier awards NI 43-101 resource estimate contract for the Benoist Project
Val-d’Or, November 1 2, 2020 – Cartier Resources Inc. (TSX -V: ECR) (“Cartier”) has awarded
InnovExplo the contract to produce a resource estimate for the Pusticamica deposit on the
Company’s Benoist Property and to prepare a supporting technical report in accordance with
National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”). The property is located 65 km northeast of Lebel -sur-
Quévillon in the province of Québec.
Over the past few months, InnovExplo has worked closely with Cartier staff, particularly Ronan
Déroff, P.Geo., Senior Geomatician, to build a 3D gold mineralization model for the Benoist
Property. This newly structured database will speed up InnovExplo’s data modelling that will form
the basis of the resource estimate.
“Thanks to these efforts, we can now move to the stage of NI 43-101 technical reporting and mineral
resource estimation. The work has a lso allowed us to design the drilling campaign that we are
currently setting up in the field,” commented Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO.
Features of the Benoist Project
➢ The Benoist property hosts the Pusticamica gold deposit, which also contains copper and
silver concentrations.
➢ This mineralization has all the typical characteristics sought by Cartier and as at the Chimo
Mine project could rapidly outline high-tonnage mineralization.
➢ Cartier holds a 100% interest in the property for which 2.5% net smelter return (“NSR”)
royalties have been awarded of which 2.0% is redeemable at any time for C$2M.
➢ The property, which is accessible year -round via forestry road 3000, is located near the
mills of the Langlois and Bachelor mines and the future mill of Osisko Mining ’s Windfall
Project.
➢ Work to date on the property consists of 93 boreholes totalling 32,356 m, resulting in 14,243
samples collected over a sampled length of 14,647 m.
