Cartier Launches Drill Program on Cadillac Extension Property

Val-d’Or, December 8th, 2016 –Cartier Resources Inc. (TSX-V : ECR) (“Cartier”) announces that it has commenced a diamond drill program on its Cadillac Extension property, situated  120 kilometers east of Senneterre. The program, for a total of 3 410 meters will test the depth and lateral potential of the Cu-Zn-Ag-Au Langlade deposit, where new OreVision IP anomalies were identified in the 2016 survey.

The OreVision survey (deep IP) was a tipping point for the project.  The survey was instrumental in reorienting the geological modelling of the project and drill targeting. The new anomalies are located in an area that has not been tested in the past. The geophysical signatures of the anomalies are identical to that of the Langlade deposit and stretch over 1.5 kilometers to the east.

Previous, channel sampling of the massive sulphide Langlade deposit returned results grading up to 3.17% Cu, 10.11% Zn, 59.5 g/t Ag over 3.0 meters and 1.07% Cu, 1.19% Zn and 34.0 g/t Ag over 54.0 meters, and diamond drilling returned intersections grading up to 5.50% Cu, 9.30% Zn and 186.0 g/t Ag over 1.0 meters included within a broader interval grading 0.62% Cu, 0.73% Zn and 40.8 g/t Ag over 49.6 meters.

« This drill program aims at discovering new massive sulphide deposits similar to Langlade where geophysics indicate the potential for a much larger volume of mineralization » commented Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO.
