Cartier Cuts 6.5 g/t Au over 4.0 m, 165 m below Zone 3 at Chimo Mine
For immediate release
Cartier Cuts 6.5 g/t Au over 4.0 m, 165 m below Zone 3 at Chimo Mine
Val-d’Or, March 6th, 2018 – Cartier Resources Inc. (TSX-V: ECR) ("Cartier") is pleased to announce
new results from its ongoing 3 4,000-m drill program on the Chimo Mine property, situated 45 km east
of Val-d’Or. These new results were intersected at a depth of 6 35 m along the extension of Zone 3
(FIGURE).
Intersections grading 24.8 g/t Au over 1.0 m included within 6.5 g/t Au over 4.0 m and included
within 1.6 g/t Au over 25.0 m were cut 165 m below historic stopes of Zone 3 (Structure 3) (FIGURE).
Also, intersections grading 3.7 g/t Au over 2.2 m including 5.9 g/t Au over 1.1 m were intersected
130 m west of stopes of Zone 5M (Structure 5M) at a depth of 80 m . The new gold -bearing
intersections as well as additional gold-bearing intervals of interest are presented in the table below .
All other assay results from the four drills active on the property are still pending.

Lengths are expressed along drill core axis. The true thickness was not determined.
« Zone 3 was the second most productive gold -bearing zone in terms of ounces produced at the
Chimo Mine. These results show that gold mineralization continues at depth below the stopes of the
Zone » commented Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO of Cartier , adding « Drill hole CH17-29 first
cut Zone 3 , then 150 m further downhole, cut Zone 5M ( February 14, 2018, Press Release : with
1.9 g/t Au over 13.0 m including 3.8 g/t Au over 3.0 m) ».
A 3D VIDEO, also available on Cartier’s website, helps visualize the different gold -bearing structures
on the Chimo Mine property as well as key components that are the mine infrastructures, the gold -
bearing zones, the gold intersection areas left unmined as well as the 281 targets of the ongoing drill
program. The 3 Structure is presented in the video.
Quality Assurance / Quality Control
All lengths, mentioned in this press release, were measured along the drill core. The NQ core samples
are crushed up to 80% passing 8 mesh sieves and then pulverize d up to 90% passing a 200 -mesh
sieve. Cartier inserts 5% of the number of samples in the form of certified standards and another 5% in
the form of sterile samples to ensure quality control. The samples are analyzed at the Techni -Lab
laboratory (Actlabs), l ocated in Ste -Germaine-Boulé, Quebec. The 50 g pulps are analyzed by fire
assay and atomic absorption. For samples containing visible gold, 1000 g of rock are directly analyzed
by the "Metallic Sieve" method.
The scientific and/or technical information presented in this press release has been reviewed and
approved by Mr. Gaétan Lavallière, P. Geo., Ph. D. and Vice President for Cartier Resources. Mr.
Lavallière is a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
