Cartier Launches 25,000-m Drill Program on the Chimo Mine Property
Val-d’Or, July 11th, 2017 – Cartier Resources Inc. (TSX -V: ECR) ("Cartier") is pleased to announce
that it has launched a 25,000-m drill program on Chimo Mine property, located 45 km to the East of
Val-d'Or. This program is designed to increase the size of the known gold zones and to highlight the
potential for discovery of new gold zones.
The program consists of two phases: a first phase of 20 ,000 m, will explore the lateral and depth
extensions (250 to 650 m) of 24 gold zones while a second phase of 5, 000 m, will explore the deep
extension of the main gold zone 5M of the old Chimo Mine (1,050 to 1,550 m). Historically, the Chimo
Mine produced 379 ,012 ounces of gold (Source: MRNF, DV 85 -05 to 97 -01) of which 2/3 of the
ounces were from the 5M zone. In total, 44 drill holes (refer to table) will potentially cut up to 177 times
the extension of the known gold zones and up to 281 times the structures that host the gold zones.
This program will require three drill rigs and pursue the fall 2016 program that totalled 2,517 m and
which returned results including: 3.2 g/t Au over 15.0 m including 9.9 g/t Au over 4.0 m (CH16-06), 8.2
g/t Au over 7.0 m inclu ding 17.7g/t Au over 3.0 m (CH16 -01), 88.6 g/t Au over 1.0 m and 11.8 g/t Au
over 2.0 m (CH16-02).
“The Chimo Mine property straddles the prolific Larder Lake-Cadillac fault, a major regional structure
that has produced over 100 million ounces of gold,” commented Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO
of Cartier.
