VAL-D’OR, Quebec, March 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cartier Resources Inc. (TSX-V: ECR) (\"Cartier\") reports that Phase II drilling has been completed and that a Phase III has commenced on the Chimo Mine property, located 45 km east of Val-d'Or. To date, Phases I and II drilling completed by Cartier on the Chimo Mine property consisted of 105 drill holes for a total of 47,588 m. This work reached 3 objectives: Demonstrate the continuity of the main gold-bearing Zones 5B and 5M below the existing mine infrastructures (Phase I), by completing 20 drill holes for a total of 10,113 m (FIGURE).Best results previously disclosed1:14.6 g/t Au / 3.0 m incl. within 5.8 g/t Au / 10.0 m incl. within 2.2 g/t Au / 44.0 m and 7.6 g/t Au / 5.0 m incl. within 2.3 g/t Au / 19.0 m. Explore the extensions of 19 gold zones peripheral to the main zones (Phase I), with 52 drill holes for a total of 24,219 m. The results1 led to prioritizing 7 gold zones for additional drilling. Explore the extensions of 7 prioritized gold zones (Phase II); which led to the discovery of the new Zone 5NE and indicating the additional potential of Zones 6N1 and 5M4 (FIGURE), from 33 drill holes for a total of 13,256 m.Best results previously disclosed1:Zone 5NE: 10.6 g/t Au / 6.0 m incl. within 4.5 g/t Au / 21.0 m incl. within 2.5 g/t Au / 57.0 m and 12.4 g/t Au / 5.0 m incl. within 5.9 g/t Au / 12.0 m incl. within 2.0 g/t Au / 45.5 m and;Zone 6N1: 23.3 g/t Au / 2.0 m incl. within 6.6 g/t Au / 13.0 m and 7.8 g/t Au / 3.0 m incl. within 2.8 g/t Au / 15.0 m. 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 (thickness) of each mineralized zone as accurately as possible. 1A Table (refer to Cartier website – Chimo Mine projects section) presents a compilation of all results, reported via press releases from drilling on the projec...
