(TSX-V: ECR) (\"Cartier\") reports drill results grading 5.0 g/t Au over 5.1 m in the Zone 3E of the Chimo Mine property, located 45 km east of Val-d'Or (FIGURE). An intersection grading 23.7 g/t Au over 1.0 m and 7.1 g/t Au over 1.0 m included within a broader section of 8.4 m grading 2.5 g/t Au, were also obtained within Zone 3E. As well, 30 m north, an intersection grading 11.8 g/t Au over 1.0 m, included within a broader section of 34.4 m grading 1.1 g/t Au, were also obtained within Zone 2B. « These results, which are situated at a depth of 450 m, indicate that a new potential for gold mineralization could develop at depth along Zone 3E and located only 100 m from the underground infrastructures » commented Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO.

The true thickness was not determined. The Company is currently building wireframes for the 24 mineralized zones and existing infrastructure of the former Chimo Mine in order to determine the dimensions of each mineralized zone as accurately as possible. Current Phase III drilling is focussed on expanding the dimensions of gold-bearing Zones 5NE, 5M4 and 6N1 as they are proximal to existing mine infrastructures. Chimo Mine Project Highlights The Chimo Mine produced 379,012 ounces of gold (MERN DV 85-05 to DV-97-01). Cartier owns 100% interests of the property. Year-round access by road, proximal to 6 custom mills. Gold mineralized material was mined intermittently from 14 zones by 3 different producers. Mine infrastructure consists of a network of drifts distributed on 19 levels, connected by a 3-compartment shaft 965 m deep. The headframe and surface facilities were dismantled in 2008 but the electrical line and the sand pit are still present.
