Cartier Cuts 44.7 g/t Au over 0.5 m and 7.5 g/t Au over 4.6 m
Extending to 10 km the High-Grade Gold Potential at East Cadillac
Val-d’Or, Québec – December 17, 2024 – Cartier Resources Inc. ("Cartier" or the "Company") (TSXV:
ECR, FSE: 6CA) reports drill results in the western part of its 100% - owned East Cadillac property. The
latter is located 45 km east of the Val-d’Or mining camp (FIGURE).
Highlights:
➢ Extension of the high-grade gold potential over a strike length of 10 km (FIGURE)
✓ 44.7 g/t Au over 0.5 m with 8 clusters of visible gold and 7.9 g/t Au over 1.0 m (Blue Grass
sector)
✓ 17.0 g/t Au over 0.5 m with 1 cluster of visible gold (West Portal sector)
➢ Expansion of the area of high-grade gold (FIGURE)
✓ 18.0 g/t Au over 1.7 m included within 7.5 g/t Au over 4.6 m with 1 cluster of visible gold,
situated in the West Simon Sector between:
• The Portal Zone (7.2 g/t Au over 8.0 m; previously announced October 30 2024) and
• The VG31 intersection (35.3 g/t Au over 4.4 m; previously announced November 20 2024).
➢ The 2024 exploration drilling program consisting of 162 holes for a total of 28,084 m was spread
over 49 different drill sites and discovered, over a distance of 10 km within the Larder Lake - Cadillac
Fault Zone, 10 high-grade gold areas (FIGURE).
“ The 10 high-grade gold areas discovered in 2024 are, located within 5 km on either side of the NI 43-101
resource estimate, in a prolific fault zone recognized for its mining potential and reported in a high gold price
environment, provide the key elements required for rapid development of the East Cadillac asset ”
commented Philippe Cloutier, 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 60 to 90% of the reported lengths.
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) laborator y in Ste -Germaine-Boulé, Qu ébec, 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.
