Cartier Mobilizes Second Drill Rig

to Advance High-Grade Gold Discovery on East Cadillac

Val-d’Or, Québec – Octobre 1, 2024 – Cartier Resources Inc. (TSXV: ECR, FSE: 6CA) ("Cartier" or the

"Company") announces the deployment of a second drill rig at its 100% -owned East Cadillac property,

located 45 km east of Val -d’Or. This expansion is part of Cartier's ongoing 28,000-meters drill program

targeting high-grade gold sectors.

Highlights

➢ The second drill is now active, focusing on the recently discovered high-grade gold VG10 Zone and

extending exploration along the VG Structure over a 1.5 km strike. Approximately 35 shallow holes

are planned.

➢ The VG10 Zone, discovered in 202 3, situated in the centre of East Cadillac, has been drilled

successfully in 2024 with 60% of drilled holes contained visible gold . The best previous

intercepts include:

➢ 142.2 g/t Au over 0.5 m

➢ 137.4 g/t Au over 0.5 m

➢ 43.2 g/t Au over 1.0 m included within 15.7 g/t Au over 3.0 m

➢ 30.2 g/t Au over 1.0 m

➢ The first drill continues testing high-grade gold regional targets across the property.

“We’re excited to accelerate exploration of high-grade gold zones on East Cadillac with the second drill,”

commented Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO. “The consistency and grade of the VG9 -VG10 Zones

have been impressive, and we’re eager to expand their potential. Meanwhile, our first drill continues to

deliver encouraging visual results from regional targets.”

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) laboratory 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 finish. For samples containing visible gold, a 500 g subsample of rock is

analyzed by the metallic sieve method.
