Cartier Launches a 7,000m Drill Program on The Wilson Property
Val-d’Or, March 23rd, 2017 – Cartier Resources Inc. (TSX-V: ECR) (“Cartier”) is pleased to announce
that it has commenced a diamond drill program consisting of 18 drill holes totalling more than 7,000 m
on the Wilson property , located 15 km to the East of Lebel -sur-Quévillon, Québec which is situated
along the Urban-Barry Belt. The program is intended to explore the depth and lateral extensions of
Toussaint Gold Deposit (Figure).
The Toussaint Gold deposit lies at the heart of an area that has recently seen a significant staking
rush by several companies. The area remains historically under-explored relative to other gold belts in
the Abitibi region . On the property, i n 1994, Freewest Resources produced a historical resource
estimate for the Toussaint Gold deposit (GM 52557) of 187,706 tonnes at 7,1 g/t Au. Note: The
qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the resources that are the subject of this
historical resources estimate. Cartier does not consider the resources presented in this historical
resource estimate to be current.
This program will specifically test the depth extensions of 4 Gold Zones (T1, T2, T3 and M1) which are
hosted within the Toussaint and Midrim Gold structures (Figure). The latter are known over a distance
of 1.5 kilometers along strike from successful historic drilling.
The follow ing table presents a selecti on of the best surface , channel and diamond drill hole
intersections (consider adding the depth ranges on the holes):

“This first robust drill program beneath the Toussaint deposit is intended to demonstrate the extension
at depth of the existing historical (non 43 -101) resources and lead future drilling to outline additional
gold-bearing zones.”, commented Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO.
This 18-hole program is expected to take until late May to complete including the return of all assays,
subject to local lab availability.
