[{"type":"text","content":" VAL-D’OR, Quebec, Nov. 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cartier Resources Inc. (TSX-V: ECR) (\"Cartier\") reports additional drill hole intersections grading 14.6 g/t Au over 3.0 m including 36.8 g/t Au over 1.0 m, 450 m below the Chimo Mine (FIGURE). These higher-grade sections are included within a section grading 5.8 g/t Au over 10.0 m included within an interval of 44.0 m grading 2.2 g/t Au. The Chimo Mine project is situated 45 Km east of Val-d’Or within the prolific Val-d’Or Mining Camp. Results continue to confirm the robustness of the gold system below the former mine. \"These new results further increase the volume of gold mineralization of interest beneath the Chimo Mine to the east, significantly increasing the potential for resource development.\" commented Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO. The details of the new results received from the laboratory are as follows: Drill Hole From(m) To(m) Length (m) Au(g/t) Cluster of Zones 5 CH17-46C 1 377.0 1 380.0 3.0 14.6 5M2, 5M, 5B and 5BS Including 1 356.0 1 357.0 1.0 20.8 Including 1 370.0 1 371.0 1.0 13.4 Including 1 377.0 1 378.0 1.0 7.0 Including 1 379.0 1 380.0 1.0 36.8 Included within 1 370.0 1 380.0 10.0 5.8 Included within 1 343.0 1 387.0 44.0 2.2 CH17-46BE1 1 246.0 1 247.9 1.9 5.7 Including 1 246.0 1 247.0 1.0 7.2 Included within 1 238.0 1 253.0 15.0 1.6 Lengths are expressed along drill core axis. The true thickness was not determined. The deep drilling program along the depth extension of the Zone 5 cluster, which produced 75% of the ounces extracted from the Chimo Mine, was completed after 11 months of drilling. The program consisted of 20 holes totaling 10,000 m from 2 pilot holes starting at the surface. All of the holes intersected gold mineralization similar to Zones 5 of the Chimo Mine. Mineralization consists of non-refractory arsenopyrite, smoky and / or whitish quartz veins, biotite, and visible gold grains. The Phase II drilling program is currently underway (August 28th 2018 press release) and aims to focus on the resource development potential of 7 peripheral gold zones to the main cluster of Zones 5.
