Val-d’Or, January 24^th, 2023 – Cartier Resources Inc. (TSX-V: ECR) (“Cartier”) announces drill results below the West Nordeau deposit of the Chimo Mine Gold System (FIGURE) from its ongoing drilling program on the Chimo Mine property and contiguous East Cadillac property. Both properties, 100% owned by Cartier, are located 45 km east of the Val-d’Or mining camp.

The results available from the laboratory to date for the current drilling in the West Nordeau Sector are as follows:

• In the eastern part of the West Nordeau deposit (5NE2 Gold Zone), drilling intersected 4g/t Au over 6.5 m included within broader sections grading 2.3 g/t Au over 23.0 m and 2.1 g/t Au over 14.0 m (FIGURE).

• In the western part of the West Nordeau deposit (5NE1 Gold Zone), drilling intersected 3g/t Au over 1.0 m included within an interval grading 2.4 g/t Au over 5.6 m (FIGURE).

• Detailed results are presented in the table below.

« These results confirm the continuity of the mineralization below the West Nordeau deposit, with a view of extending exploration, to define additional resources to the same depth as in the Chimo Mine and East Chimo Mine sectors (FIGURE). The depth extension of the West Nordeau sector is important to add resources to the project. » commented Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO.

The Chimo Mine Project now consists of 29 gold zones that are situated within 19 gold structures, drilled over a strike length of 3.7 km and locally up to a depth of 1.6 km (FIGURE) where the recent mineral resource estimate, dated August 22, 2022*, reported:

• 7,128,000 tonnes at an average grade of 3.14 g/t Au for a total of 720,000 ounces of gold in the Indicated category and;

• 18,475,000 tonnes at an average grade of 2.75 g/t Au for a total of 1,633,000 ounces of gold in the Inferred category.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control

Cartier inserts in the batches of samples sent to the laboratory, 5% of the number of samples in the form of certified standards and another 5% in the form of sterile samples to ensure quality control. The samples are analyzed at the Techni-Lab laboratory (Actlabs), located in Ste-Germaine-Boulé, Quebec, Canada. Samples of 3 to 5 kg are crushed by the laboratory up to 90% passing a mesh of 10 mesh (2.00 mm) then 500 g of sample is pulverized up to 90% passing a mesh of 200 mesh (0.07mm). The 50 g pulps are analyzed by fire assay and are read by atomic absorption. Samples with results ≥ 1.0 g/t and < 10.0 g/t are re-assayed by fire assay and read by atomic absorption. Results greater than or equal to 10.0 g/t Au are analyzed by fire assay with gravimetric reading. For samples containing visible gold, 500 g of rock are analyzed by the “Metallic Sieve” method.
