Cartier Intersects 7.6 g/t Au Over 3.3 Meters on Chimo,
Extends 5NE Zone to a Depth of 400 m
Val-d’Or, November 7 th, 201 7 – Cartier Resources Inc. (TSX -V: ECR) ("Cartier") is pleased to
announce results of the 5NE Zone from its 25 ,000-m ongoing drill program on the Chimo Mine
property, located 45 km east of Val -d'Or. The 5NE Zone (5N Structure) was intersected 50 m north of
the 5M4 Zone (5M Structure) (FIGURE). The best results are: 26.4 g/t Au over 0.9 m included within
7.6 g/t Au over 3.3 m and 5.4 g/t Au over 1.0 m included within 2.9 g/t Au over 2.4 m (refer to Table
below).
These results add to those announced on October 24 th from the 5M4 Zone . The latter, situated 700
meters east of the shaft returned : 7.3 g/t Au over 2.2 m included within 2.0 g/t Au over 14.1 m and
5.8 g/t Au over 2.4 m included within 1.5 g/t Au over 14.0 m.
Two new structures, 3E1 and 5BS1, were also intersected ( FIGURE). The 3E1 Zone (3 Structure)
was intersected 100 m north of the 5NE Zone. The best results returned: 12.5 g/t Au over 1.0 m
included within 2.2 g/t Au over 7.3 m (refer to Table below ). This intersection is also located
approximately 100 m west of a previous dr ill hole intersection of 44.7 g/t Au over 1.5 m (Société
Minière Louvem, 1984). The 5BS1 Zone (5B S Structure) returned 0.9 g/t Au over 9.4 m and
0.5 g/t Au over 17.4 m, which suggests that greater volumes of lower grade mineralization can be
found peripheral and/or near to the higher-grade gold-bearing zones.

Lengths are expressed along drill core axis. The true thickness was not determined. *Results from the northern
selvedge of the zone are pending therefore results for this section are partial.
The 5NE, 3E1 and 5BS1 Zones are characterized with biotite -chlorite alteration and arsenopyrite
and/or pyrrhotite mineralization, sm oky and/or white quartz veining . All other assay results from the
two drills active on the property are still pending.
«To date, drill results double the potential volume of the 5 NE Zone in this area, mineralization now
extends to a depth of 400 meters » commented Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO of Cartier
adding, « the new results for gold -bearing zones 5M4, 5NE as well as 3E1 and 5BS1 confirm the
potential of the eastern portion of the Chimo Mine property ».
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.
