For immediate release
Cartier drills 173.6 g/t Au over 0.5 m and 11.7 g/t Au over 4.0 m
to expand multiple high-grade gold zones at East Cadillac
Val-d’Or, Québec – December 3, 2024 – Cartier Resources Inc. ("Cartier" or the " Company") (TSXV:
ECR, FSE: 6CA) reports multiple high-grade gold results from the 28,000-m drilling program (162 drill holes)
at its 100% - owned East Cadillac property. The latter is located 45 km east of the Val-d’Or mining camp.
These results follow-up on the significant VG10 intercepts previously announced on August 27, 2024, where
drilling returned 142.2 g/t Au over 0.5 m and 137.4 g/t Au over 0.5 m (FIGURE 1).
Highlights:
VG10 Zone
➢ Successful definition and expansion of a high-grade gold ore shoot that is approximately 50 m wide
by 175 m along plunge (FIGURE 2) and remains open at depth:
➢ 173.6 g/t Au over 0.5 m with 40 clusters of visible gold;
➢ 12.8 g/t Au over 0.5 m with 2 clusters of visible gold;
➢ 9.7 g/t Au over 0.5 m with 5 clusters of visible gold.
VG9 Zone
➢ Discovery near surface of a new high-grade gold intersection (250 m to the west of VG10; FIGURE 2):
➢ 11.7 g/t Au over 4.0 m including 46.0 g/t Au over 0.5 m with 10 clusters of visible gold;
➢ 7.5 g/t Au over 0.6 m with 2 clusters of visible gold.
VG10 South Zone
➢ Confirmation of exploration potential on a new high-grade gold structure (50 m to the south of VG10):
➢ 20.7 g/t Au over 1.0 m;
➢ 5.7 g/t Au over 1.0 m.
The new 5 high -grade gold zones discovered over 8 km, the 12 -km Larder Lake - Cadillac Fault zones
remaining largely untested, the current NI 43 -101 mineral resource estimate, the PEA and the strong gold
price environment offer investors an attractive investment opportunity. Furthermore, planning of a
100,000 m drill program is currently underway to pursue exploration of the strong potential identified on the
East Cadillac asset.
Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO commented “These results are significant in tha t they clearly
demonstrate the repetition of the high -grade gold zones to be found across the East Cadillac property”
adding “specifically, our follow-up on the VG 9 and VG10 Zones area indicate we can expect to further
expand the known high-grade gold mineralization both laterally and at depth”.

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 50 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 finis h. For samples containing visible gold, a 500 g subsample of rock is
analyzed by the metallic sieve method.
