Val-d’Or, November 5, 2012— Cartier Resources Inc. (TSX-V: ECR) (“Cartier”) announces additional drill results from recent drilling that confirm the continuity at depth of the Pusticamica gold deposit (refer to press release dated September 18, 2012), on the Benoist project. The new results increase the volume of the gold mineralized zone.

Additional sampling in drill Hole Pu-12-01 yielded 24.5 g/t gold over 3.0 meters* at a depth of 475 meters and is included within a mineralized envelop that grades 0.9 g/t gold over 134.0 meters.  This new gold intersection, along the depth extension of the Pusticamica Gold-Bearing Zone, is situated over 200 meters from historical drilling and is located 27 meters from a high grade intersection recently announced grading 9.3 g/t gold over 3.0 meters included within an interval grading 0.6 g/t Au over 73.0 meters.

“This project acquisition completed in March 2012 now shows greater reward potential for Cartier investors since the results of our first drill programme confirm that the Pusticamica Gold-Bearing Zone is wide, continuous and opens at depth. The programme was aimed at better defining and increasing the volume of the gold-bearing mineralization of the deposit.” commented Philippe Cloutier, President and Chief Executive Officer. “These two new high grade intersections, each 3.0 meters wide,  demonstrate the continuity of the gold mineralization at depths over 475 meters.  The 2012 objective has been reached and the team is confident in planning the 2013 programme with the aim of further growing this project.” a dded Mr. Cloutier.

The Benoist project is situated 65 km north-east of the town of Lebel-sur-Quévillon, 25 km from the Bachelor Mine in Desmaraisville and 30 km from the Nyrstar’s Gonzague-Langlois Mine.
