For immediate release
Cartier Intersects 25.0 m grading 2.1 g/t Au on Fenton Property
Val-d’Or, January 31st , 201 8 – Cartier Resources Inc. (TSX-V: ECR) ("Cartier") is pleased to
announce
the results of the first drill hole from its 13 -drill-hole, 7,814 m drill program on the Fenton property,
located 50 km southwest of Chapais and 50 km north of Osisko ’s Windfall Lake gold deposit in the
heart of the Urban-Barry's belt.
Drill hole 1354 -17-13 intersected two gold zones ( FIGURE): the Fenton Zone returned 7.0 g/t Au
over 1.0 m included within 0.5 g/t Au over 35.2 m whereas the Dyke Zone, situated 100 m no rth of
the Fenton Zone returned 8.1 g/t Au over 2.0 m and 7.4 g/t Au over 2.0 m included within
3.8 g/t Au over 11.0 m and also within 2.1 g/t Au over 25.0 m.

Lengths are expressed along drill core axis. The true thickness was not determined.
The Fenton gold zone has a range of historical intersections with grades ranging from 1.7 to 4.0 g / t
Au over lengths ranging from 24.8 to 52.0 m with richer subsections grading from 6.4 to 24.5 g / t Au
over lengths of 2.6 to 7.6 m (FIGURE).
The two gold-bearing zones are similar in terms of geometry and composition. Mineralization, situated
within sheared basalts, consists of pyrite and/or disseminated to semi -massive pyrrhotite with
associated alteration minerals such as silica, sericite and calcite. The drill program was completed in
December 2017 and all other assay results are pending.
« To date, ten holes intersected the Dyke Zone. The results confirm the gold -bearing potential of the
zone » commented Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO of Cartier adding, « The Dyke Zone has
been tested down to a depth of 200 m. The proximity of both gold -bearing zones increases the overall
potential of the property ».
SOQUEM is the project manager. The property is wholly owned by SOQUEM and Cartier has an
option to acquire, under certain conditions, a 50% interest of the property.
SOQUEM, a subsidiary of Ressources Québec, is a leading player in mineral exploration in Québec.
