Cartier Resources Announces $4.0 Million Bought Deal Flow-Through Private Placement and $2.0 Million Common Share Private Placement

Cartier Resources Inc. (“Cartier” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE:ECR) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Sprott Capital Partners to act as the lead underwriter in connection with a bought deal underwritten private placement of 12,120,000 common shares of the Company issued on a flow-through basis (the “FT Shares”), at a price of $0.33 per FT Share, for gross proceeds of $3,999,600, as well as the sale on an “best efforts” agency basis of up to 10,000,000 common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares”), at a price of $0.20 per Common Share, for gross proceeds of up to $2,000,000. Collectively the FT Share offering and Common Share offering shall be known as the “Offering”.

In connection with the Offering, Sprott Capital Partners will be entitled to a cash fee in an amount equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, to be paid at closing. As additional consideration, the Company will grant to Sprott Capital Partners that number of non-transferable common share purchase warrants (the “Broker Warrants”) as is equal to 6.0% of the aggregate number of FT Shares and Common Shares sold in the Offering. Subject to regulatory approval, each Broker Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one common share of Cartier at a price equal to $0.27 for a period of two years following the closing of the Offering.

The gross proceeds from the issuance of FT Shares will be used for Canadian Exploration Expenses (CEE), and will qualify as “flow-through mining expenditures” under the Income Tax Act (Canada), and also qualify for the two 10% enhancements under the Taxation Act (Quebec), which will be renounced to the subscribers with an effective date no later than December 31, 2017 to the initial purchasers of FT Shares in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of the FT Shares.

The net proceeds raised through the sale of the Common Shares will be used to fund further exploration on the Company’s Chimo Mine, Wilson, Benoist and Fenton properties and for general working capital purposes.

Closing of the Offering is anticipated to occur on or about November 30, 2017, or such other date or dates as the Company and Sprott Capital Partners may agree. Closing of the Offering is subject to receipt of regulatory approvals, including the acceptance of the Offering by the TSX Venture Exchange. The FT Shares and Common Shares sold under the Offering will be subject to a four month hold period under applicable securities laws in Canada.
