ECR Cartier Resources Inc

Cartier Resources Inc. (TSXV: ECR, FSE: 6CA) ("Cartier" or the "Company") reports high-grade gold results in the Portal sector at its 100%-owned East Cadillac property. The latter is located 45 km east of the Val-d’Or mining camp.

Highlights:

• The drill holes intersected:
  • An intersection grading 241.0 g/t Au over 0.6 m included within 35.3 g/t Au over 4.4 m, 250  m north of the Portal Gold Zone (FIGURE and table 1 below);
  • Intersections grading 13.7 g/t Au over 0.5 m included within 4.7 g/t Au over 4.5 m and 5.9 g/t Au over 1.5 m, situated several meters from the Portal exploration ramp (Table 2 below);
• The two drills, completing the 2024 exploration drilling program of 29,000 m (164 holes), have discovered to date 5 new high-grade gold zones on the East Cadillac property and exploration continues (FIGURE).

“ The results, obtained north of the Portal Zone, suggest the presence of a second high-grade gold structure in this area ” commented Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO.

Hole	CoordinatesUTM (m)	Azimuth (°) /Plunge (°)	From(m)	To(m)	Au(g/t)	Length(m)
CH24-197	330398/ 5320455/ 336	52/-56	166.3	166.9	241.0	0.6
Included within			164.3	168.7	35.3	4.4

The lengths of the mineralized intersections are expressed as measured lengths along the drill core.The estimated true widths of the mineralized intersections are approximately 20% of the reported lengths.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control

For each batch of samples sent to the laboratory, Cartier inserts 5% of the number of samples in the form of certified standards and another 5% in the form of blanks to ensure quality control. The samples are analyzed at the Techni-Lab (Actlabs) laboratory in Ste-Germaine-Boulé, Québec, Canada. Samples weighing 3 to 5 kg are crushed by the laboratory to 90% passing 10 mesh (2.00 mm), then a 500 g fraction of each sample is pulverized to 90% passing 200 mesh (0.07 mm). The resulting 50 g pulps are analyzed by fire assay with an atomic absorption finish. Samples with results ≥ 1.0 g/t and < 10.0 g/t are re-assayed by fire assay with an atomic absorption finish. Results greater than or equal to 10.0 g/t Au are analyzed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish. For samples containing visible gold, a 500 g subsample of rock is analyzed by the metallic sieve method.
