Cartier presents the strong hoisting capabilities of the shaft on the Chimo Mine Property
Highlights: * With simple adjustments, the shaft on the Chimo Mine Property could extract 1.7 million metric tons per year (4,921 mt/day). * This study is one of four engineering studies carried out in tandem with a preparatory study for a new mineral resource estimate on the Chimo Mine Property to reveal its full value. VAL-D’OR, Quebec, Sept. 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cartier Resources Inc. (TSX-V: ECR) (“Cartier”) reports the results of an engineering study on the hoisting capacity of the underground mining infrastructure on the Chimo Mine Property. This property, owned 100% by Cartier, is located 45 km east of the Val-d’Or mining camp.The study reveals that the components of the internal shaft structure could be used to hoist skips with a loading capacity of 20 metrics tonnes each, travelling at a cruising speed of 2,200 feet/minute (40 km/h). This hoisting rate would raise 492 mt/hour of rock to the surface for a total of 4,921 mt/day in 10 hours of hoisting operations per 24-hour day or 1.7 M mt/year.To date, two internal engineering studies have been completed with positive findings, including the study that is the subject of this press release. Two other internal engineering studies are still underway, as well as an internal preparatory study for a new mineral resource estimate on the Chimo Mine Property.No PEA, PFS or FS has been completed and disclosure of results from this internal study does not support or imply the technical feasibility and/or economic viability of the project. In addition, while current mineral resource estimates have been completed on separate zones on the property, mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.Table of current and future features of the shaft infrastructure on the Chimo Mine Property:Current shaft features Dimensions of excavated shaft914 m x 6 m x 2.7 m (represents 15,000 m³ of excavated rock) 3 compartmentsEach measuring 5'0" x 5'6" State of internal rock wallsIn good condition at the time of mine closure Internal shaft structure8" x 8" beams of Douglas (BC) fir State of internal shaft components In good condition at the time of mine closure Wood submerged under oxygen-free water remains intact* from deterioration for decades Key additional features required Weight of hoisted rock material 4,921 mt/day in 10 hours of operation per 24-hour period 492 mt/hour Type of skips 2 skips with a loading capacity of 20 t each, in compartments Nos. 2 and 3 Each skip is 14 m height instead including the cage Number of hoisted skips per hour30 Skip cruising speed2,200 ft/min (40 km/h) Type of cage4-deck Mary Ann-type cage with 36-person capacity in compartment No. 1 Height of headframe57 m Weight suspended below wheel56 mt Type of hoistDrum hoist 5.1 m in diameter with AC drive force of 4880 RMS HP Type of hoisting cableSingle cable 56 mm in diameter or multi-cable system *: Careful inspection of shaft components will be required, as will the replacement or reinforcement of components that do not meet the standards.

About CartierCartier Resources Inc., founded in 2006, is based in Val-d’Or, Quebec. The province of Quebec has consistently ranked as one of the best mining jurisdictions in the world, primarily because of its favourable geology, attractive fiscal environment and pro-mining government. * The Company has a strong cash position with more than $13.9 million and significant corporate and institutional endorsements, including Agnico Eagle Mines, Meridian Global, and Quebec investment funds. * Cartier’s strategy is to focus on gold projects with features that offer potential for rapid growth. * The Company holds a portfolio of exploration projects in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt of Quebec, one of the most prolific mining regions in the world. * The Company is focused on advancing four key projects through drilling programs. These projects were acquired at reasonable costs in recent years and are drill-ready, with targets along the geometric extensions of known gold deposits. * Exploration work is currently focused on the Chimo Mine Property to maximize value for investors. The Company is also planning a major drilling program for the Benoist Property. Drilling on the Fenton and Wilson properties will follow the Benoist program.

(TSX-V: ECR) (“Cartier” or the “Company”) announces an interval of 20.4 g/t Au over 2.0 m included within 18.0 m at 2.7 g/t Au, intersected 200 m below the resources of Zones 5B4-5M4-5NE, which were estimated by GéoPointCom in 2019 (Table 1). The Chimo Mine Property is held 100% by Cartier and is situated 45 km east of the Val-d’Or mining camp.An intersection grading 11.9 g/t Au over 1.6 m, included within a mineralized intersection of 14.6 m at 3.1 g/t Au, and an intersection grading 7.5 g/t Au over 2.5 m, included within a mineralized intersection of 13.7 m at 3.2 g/t Au, were also intersected in Zone 5B4. The results from the drilling campaign (Table 2), which started in December 2019, reveal numerous mineralized intersections over an area measuring 550 m by 200 m (FIGURE) below Zones 5B4-5M4-5NE. The resources in this area will soon be estimated and added to the resources already published for the project (Table 3).“The results from Cartier’s 124 drill holes totalling 58,054 m, along with the results of two completed internal engineering studies and two others still underway, have provided robust information which support our vision of potential scenarios for economic development,” commented Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO.Table 1: Details of new results:Drill HoleUTM Coordinates (E, N, Elev.)Azimuth (°) / Dip (°)From (m)To (m)Length (m)Au (g/t)Gold ZoneGold Structure CH19-54D332637/5320279/-163185/-581153.01155.02.020.45CE5C Included in1137.01155.018.02.7 CH19-55CE332527/5320277/-585189/-511334.01335.61.611.95B45B Included in1321.01335.614.63.1 CH19-55C332555/5320429/-327198/-721328.71331.22.57.5 Included in1322.01335.713.73.2 CH19-54CW332627/5320190/-276185/-481043.01048.05.02.8 CH19-55BW332501/5320261/-671193/-511362.01367.05.02.0 CH19-55C332555/5320429/-327198/-721287.01294.67.61.45NE5N The lengths of the mineralized intersections are expressed in lengths measured along the drill core.

NQ core samples are crushed up to 80% passing an 8 mesh and then pulverized to 90% passing a mesh of 200 mesh. Cartier inserts 5% of the number of samples in the form of certified standards and another 5% in the form of blank samples to ensure quality control. The samples are analyzed at the Techni-Lab laboratory (Actlabs), located in Ste-Germaine-Boulé, Quebec. The 50 g pulps are analyzed by fire assay and read by atomic absorption, followed by gravimetry for results above 5.0 g/t Au. For samples containing visible gold, 500 g of rock are analyzed by the “Metallic Sieve” method.For more information, please contact: Philippe Cloutier, P. Geo.
