Cartier Intersects 9.4 g/t Au Over 6.5 Meters At Chimo Mine

VAL-D'OR, QB - Cartier Resources Inc. reported results from its 25,000-m ongoing drill program on the Chimo Mine property, located 45 km east of Val-d'Or. The 2B Zone (2 Structure) was intersected 150 m east-north-east of the shaft. The intersection graded 9.4 g/t Au over 6.5 m including 56.0 g/t Au over 0.5 m and 25.2 g/t Au over 2.0 m.

The 2B Zone intersection is situated 50 m below the 2016 program, CH16-01, drill hole intersection which returned 17.3 g/t Au over 3.0 m included within 8.2 g/t Au over 7.0 m. Drill hole CH17-16 also intersected, 150 m below the 4E Zone projection at depth, 6.3 g/t Au over 1.9 m including 12.3 g/t Au over 0.7 m. The gold-bearing intersections are characterized with biotite-chlorite alteration and mineralization consisting of visible gold grains (PHOTO), arsenopyrite and/or pyrrhotite mineralization, smoky and/or white quartz veining. All other assay results from the two drills active on the property are still pending.

"These results illustrate the potential of the 2B Zone. High grade gold mineralization in this area now extends to a depth of 300 meters " commented Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO of Cartier adding, "additional drilling in this area is planned to further explore the depth extension of this Zone".
