Cartier Cuts 7.5 g/t Au Over 2.0 m and Extends 2B Zone
to 350 m Depth on the Chimo Mine Property
Val-d’Or, January 1 8th, 201 8 – Cartier Resources Inc. (TSX-V: ECR) (“Cartier”) is pleased to
announce new results from its ongoing 30 000 -m drilling program on the Chimo Mine
property, located 45 km east of Val -d'Or. These results are associated with the 2B Zone (2
structure) and the 4E Z one (4 structure) intersected respectively at 230 m and 110 m east -
northeast of the shaft.
In the 2B Zone, an intersection grading 7.5 g/t Au over 2.0 m included within 2.1 g/t Au
over 9.8 m was cut 90 m below drill hole CH17 -16 which returned 25.0 g/t Au over 2.0 m
included within 9.4 g/t Au over 6.5 m. This intersection extends the gold mineralization of
the 2B Zone to a depth of 350 m (FIGURE 1). In the 4E Zone, an intersection grading 4.4 g/t
Au over 2.1 m included within 1.4 g/t Au over 12.7 m was cut 140 m below drill hole
CH17-16 which returned 12.3 g/t Au over 0.7 m included within 6.3 g/t Au over 1.9 m
(FIGURE 2). Additional results of interest associated with these areas are shown in the table
below as well as figures 1 and 2.

Lengths are expressed along drill core axis. The true thickness was not determined.
“These new results demonstrate that the 2B and 4E Zones extend at depth and confirm s their
exploration potential .”, commented Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO, adding, “What is
encouraging, is that the potential to develop new ounces, from these areas near the shaft , adds to
those at depth along the main 5 Zones plunge.”
This 3D VIDEO 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 2 and 4 Structures are
presented in the video.
The g old-bearing intersections are characterized with biotite -chlorite alteration and mineralization
consisting of visible gold grains, arsenopyrite and/or pyrrhotite mineralization, smoky and/or white
quartz veining. All other assay results from the four drills active on the property are still pending.
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 pulverized 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), located 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.
