[{"type":"text","content":" VAL-D’OR, Quebec, March 26, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cartier Resources Inc. (TSX-V: ECR) (\"Cartier\") reports drill results grading 7.7 g/t Au over 3.6 m included within a 17.1 m section grading 2.8 g/t Au. in the Zone 6N1 of the Chimo Mine property, located 45 km east of Val-d'Or. An intersection grading 6.5 g/t Au over 1.0 m included within a broader section of 23.5 m grading 1.3 g/t Au, were also obtained within Zone 6N1. The new results, which are situated at a depth of 800 m, are in addition to other mineralized intersections recently reported by Cartier (FIGURE) and within a 150-m radius of the new results. The potential of Zone 6N1 is open in all directions. Zone 6N1 is located only 125 m from the underground infrastructures (FIGURE). « Current Phase III drilling is focussed peripheral to Zones 5NE, 5M4 and 6N1 where recent results from Zones 5M4 and 5NE are amongst the best grades over lengths drill hole intersections by Cartier on the project » 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) Gold Zone Gold Structure CH18-48A 975.5 979.1 3.6 7.7 6N1 6N1 Included within 962.0 979.1 17.1 2.8 CH18-48B 849.0 850.0 1.0 6.5 Included within 849.0 872.5 23.5 1.3 Lengths are expressed along drill core axis. 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. About Cartier Cartier Resources was founded in 2006...
