CARTIER INTERSECTS 7.1 G/T AU OVER 11.5 M 550 M BELOW ZONES 5B4-5M4-5NE ON CHIMO MINE PROJECT; ILLUSTRATING THE POTENTIAL FOR RESOURCE EXPANSION
Highlights (FIGURE 1):
Philippe Cloutier, CEO of Cartier Resources (V.ECR), understands that investors want a company to do what it says it is going to do. At the Chimo Mine project in Quebec, Cartier developed a plan which Cloutier was confident would position the past-producing mine for a new life as a gold producer.
Cartier Resources Inc. (TSX-V: ECR) (“Cartier”) has awarded InnovExplo the mandate to complete a resource estimate on the North and South Gold Corridors and a supporting NI 43 – 101 technical report for its 100% owned flagship Chimo Mine gold property located 45 kilometers east of Val-d’Or, Quebec.
Philippe Cloutier was just back from conferences in Europe and looking forward to shovelling a foot of snow from his driveway in minus 20 degree weather in Val-d’Or Quebec. He’d been in Munich and Zurich and in both places found investors anxious but willing to listen to solid resource stories.
Junior mineral explorers tend to rush out news of their discoveries and their resource estimates. A 43-101 Resource Estimate encourages a company’s investors and, in theory, makes it easier to raise money to continue development. But the market has to be able to hear the news.
Cartier Resources Inc. (TSX-V: ECR) reports it has purchased from Louvem Mines Inc. a 2% NSR (Net Smelter Return) royalty for the Chimo Mine property, located 45 km east of Val-d’Or, in consideration for a purchase price of CDN $350,000.
