Cartier suspends work on Rivière Doré Project

Val-d’Or, Quebec, July 8th 2011 – Cartier Resources inc. (TSX-V: ECR) (« Cartier ») announces that exploration work on the Rivière Doré project is suspended. Several discussions with the Ministère de Ressources naturelles et de la faune, the Secrétariat aux affaires autochtones and the Algonquin Community of Rapid Lake led Cartier to request a delay for work on this project. Following this request, the Ministère des Ressources naturelles et de la faune, in accordance with article 63 of the Mining Act (RSQ., c. M-13.1 and its amendments) has granted the suspension of the term for 1,052 claims that comprise the Rivière Doré project until July 3rd 2013.

Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO of Cartier stated «we believe that our discussions and the initiative to suspend exploration work on this territory and requests for specific assistance from the Ministère de Ressources naturelles et de la faune and the Secrétariat aux affaires autochtones, confirms our respect for stakeholders in this area and will contribute to future development of the project».
Cartier and its partner Copper One will inform its investors and stakeholders of the progress of these discussions in a timely manner.

Elsewhere, Cartier is progressing with exploration on four other projects:
• On the Xstrata Option project drilling is in progress on gold and copper-zinc targets.
