CARTIER REPORTS HIGH-GRADE SILVER, LEAD AND ZINC VALUES FROM SYSTEMATIC CHANNEL SAMPLING OF THE UNDERGROUND ARTISANAL WORKINGS AT ITS GONALBERT PROPERTY, SOUTHERN BOLIVIA

Cartier Silver Corp. has released results from an extensive underground channel sample in eight principal areas over a strike length of 2km on the Gonalbert property in Potosi department, Bolivia. The company also recently completed a 3-hole, 1,364.8m reconnaissance drill program to test geophysical and geological targets for epithermal Ag-Pb-Zn mineralization. Results from the final two holes are reported.

Summary:

• Highlights from the Mina Central Adit include:
  • 512.5 g Ag/t and 14 per cent Pb over 58m strike and average width of 0.5m (Level -40).
  • 132.40 g Ag/t and 7.1 per cent Pb over 117m strike and average width of 0.4m (Level -40).
  • 153.7g Ag/t and 7 per cent Pb over 20m strike and average width of 0.9m (Level -60).
  • 223.9 g Ag/t and 5.0 per cent Pb over 30m strike and average width of 0.7m (Level -80).
  • 239.5 g Ag/t and 11 per cent Pb over 125m strike and average width of 0.9m (Level -100).
  • 242.5 g Ag/t and 11 per cent Pb over 164m strike and average width of 0.9m (Level -100)
  • 343.2 g Ag/t and 15 per cent Pb over 40m strike and average width of 0.8m (Level -100).
• Underground artisanal workings were sampled over a strike extent of 2km with results from 368 samples reported in eight principal artisanal working areas.
• Areas of potential high grade Ag mineralization targets outlined from underground channel sampling correlate very well with strong chargeability anomalies.
• A relatively strong chargeability anomaly extending northwards from the Mina Central area for approximately 700m is a prime target for further drilling.
• Previously reported Hole DGL-01 that intersected 49.19 g Ag/t, 1.35 per cent Zn and 1.31 per cent Pb over 44.76m tested a deeper strong chargeability anomaly below Mina Central confirming potential for wider zones of higher-grade Ag mineralization at Gonalbert.

Tom Larsen, CEO of Cartier Silver, commented: "We are very encouraged by the widespread high-grade silver values along with significant lead and zinc values obtained in the systematic underground channel sampling of artisanal workings across a 2km strike length on the property. The strong correlation of the target areas defined by this work with the strong chargeability anomalies is impressive. Results from initial drill hole DGL-01 which intersected 49.19 g Ag/t, 1.35 per cent Zn and 1.31 per cent Pb over 44.76m below the Mina Central Adit workings confirms the potential to outline much wider higher grade silver zones in areas with artisanal workings and coincident strong chargeability anomalies."

Dr. Osvaldo Arce, P.Geo., General Manager of Cartier Silver's Bolivian subsidiary, Minera Cartier S.R.L. said: "Systematic channel sampling in underground workings at the Gonalbert property has confirmed the high-grade nature and extensions of silver-rich structures with increasing grades at depth. These are important targets for further diamond drilling. Additionally, the surface geological reconnaissance of the Bolivian polymetallic-type mineralization away from the historic mines, reveals mineral continuity in an area that has not been historically explored, which significantly expands the enormous exploration potential."

UNDERGROUND CHANNEL SAMPLING

Table 1 lists the underground channel sampling and sample record for the Gonalbert property. A total of 368 channel samples were collected. Average sample width was 1.1m. Sampling was carried out along both the ENE and NNW-oriented drifts on the principal production levels, including Level 0, -40, -60, -80, -100, -125, -150, -160 and -180 at the Mina Central adit, and at the La Hoyada, Tacoyoj and Victoria adits. Underground workings are distributed over an area 2 km along strike.

Systematic channel sampling was performed by cutting channels across the mineralized zone in the underground mine workings including the mine face, walls, and back. The area was first cleaned to remove dust, dirt, slime, and soluble salts. A linear horizontal channel was then cut between two marked lines at a uniform width and depth. The width was about 10 cm at a depth of 10 mm. Sample length varied depending on variation in mineralization but typically channels were between 1 and 2 m across the mineralized zone. The standard tools were hammer and a sharp pointed end chisel made of drill steel. While the sampler cuts the channel, a second person collected chips, fragments, and fines in a clean box, sack, or on a canvas sheet spread on the floor. A sample of 1 m length weighed approximately 1-2 kg which was then sent for assay.

Underground channel samples and drill samples are prepared in ALS Bolivia Ltda's preparation facility in Oruro, Bolivia with pulps sent to the main ALS Global laboratory in Lima for analysis. In addition, other assay protocols have been changed to provide for a more accurate measurement of the wide-ranging suite of polymetallic metals at the Gonalbert property. Cartier Silver employs an industry standard QA/QC program with standards, blanks and duplicates inserted into each batch of samples analyzed with selected check samples sent to a separate accredited laboratory.

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

Table 2 summarizes the channel sample results from the major artisanal workings. Figure 1 is a geological map showing the main potential high grade Ag mineralization targets as indicated by channel sampling of underground workings. Figure 2 is a geological and sampling plan map of Mina Central, Level -40, the first level with high values of silver and Figure 3 is a geological and sampling map of Mina Central, Level -100.

RECONNAISSANCE DIAMOND DRILLING

Three (3) holes totaling 1,364.8m were drilled on the Gonalbert property. As shown in Figure 1, Holes DGL-01 to DGL-03 were drilled in the southern side of the property. Drill holes were designed mainly to test geophysical and geological targets (Figure 2) for epithermal Ag-Pb-Zn mineralization (Figure 1 and Table 3).

Previously released Hole DGL-01 intersected 49.19 g Ag/t, 1.35 per cent Zn, and 1.31 per cent Pb over 44.76m which includes a higher-grade interval of 137.42 g Ag/t, 7.91 per cent Zn and 5.6 per cent Pb over 5.60m.

Other significant intersections in DGL-01 include:

• 57.74 g Ag/t and 1.75 per cent Pb over 18.25m including 79.90 g Ag/t and 2.53 per cent Pb over 6.63m
• 109.54 g Ag/t, 3.68 per cent Zn and 4.44 per cent Pb over 11.09m including 170.01 g Ag/t, 2.51 per cent Zn and 7.00 per cent Pb over 5.81m

Drill hole DGL-02 did not intercept any significant mineralization and did not reach the designed targets because of difficult ground conditions (intense faulting).

Drill hole DGL-03, was drilled to test the Central Vein mineralization, intersecting some mineralized base metals intervals hosted in Ordovician sediments cut by tectonic breccias and dacitic dykes. This hole intersected widespread lower-grade sphalerite, galena, pyrite, siderite, and quartz in vein breccias, veins, veinlets, and dissemination. Significant results are listed in Table 4. Highlights are as follows:

• 32.0 g Ag/t, 4.16 per cent Zn and 0.98 per cent Pb over 0.5m.
• 89.4g Ag/t, 0.26 per cent Zn and 2.99 per cent Pb over 2.57m.
• 37.0g Ag/t, 1.25 per cent Zn and 1.0 per cent Pb over 0.5m.
• 36.0 g Ag/t, 1.2 per cent Pb over 2.07m

On the plan chargeability map in Figure 4, it is evident that there is gap in the mineralization or possible structural break between the deeper chargeability anomaly intersected in hole DGL-03 and the shallower chargeability anomaly to the north. This strong correlation of the chargeability anomaly with the significant intersection in hole DGL-01 and with the artisanal mine workings hosting high-grade Ag veins is very encouraging. This indicates that there is potential for much wider higher grade silver zones on Gonalbert.

Cartier Silver utilizes both ALS and AHK for drill core analysis, both of whom are major international accredited laboratories. Drill samples sent to ALS are prepared in both ALS Bolivia Ltda's preparation facility in Oruro, Bolivia and the preparation facility operated by AHK in Tupiza with pulps sent to the main ALS Global laboratory in Lima for analysis. Cartier Silver employs an industry standard QA/QC program with standards, blanks and duplicates inserted into each batch of samples analyzed with selected check samples sent to a separate accredited laboratory.

Drill core samples sent to AHK Laboratories are prepared in a preparation facility installed and managed by AHK in Tupiza with pulps sent to the AHK laboratory in Lima, Peru. Check samples between ALS and AHK are regularly done as a QA/QC check. AHK follows the same analytical protocols used as with ALS and with the same QA/QC protocols.
