Cartier Resources talks potential Au at Chimo

Mr. Philippe Cloutier reports

CARTIER HIGHLIGHTS GOLD POTENTIAL OVER 15 KM STRIKE ON CHIMO MINE PROJECT

Cartier Resources Inc. has provided an update on the potential for the Chimo mine project, comprising the Chimo mine and East Cadillac properties, the latter of which was acquired in the spring of 2022. The Project, 100% owned by Cartier, is located at 45 km east of the Val-d'Or mining camp.

The favorable context for discovery of Chimo Mine type gold mineralization, as defined by Cartier's work over the past 10 years, occurs along a 15-km long east-south-east - west-north-west oriented strike. The sector currently contributing to the Project's recent PEA * and Mineral Resource Estimate ** occupy a 3.7 km long segment of which represents only 25% of this favorable strike length ( FIGURE 1 ). The favorable strike is marked by numerous historical drill hole intersections and several deposits, most only drilled to shallow depths, and all coincident within a string of MegaTEM anomalies. The table below presents historical drill hole intersections along favorable strike of the Project. " This 15-km long stretch shows significant potential to increase resources and discover new gold zones on the Project. Drilling programs are ready and the Cartier's team is currently reviewing multiple scenarios to rapidly showcase the value of the Chimo Mine Project " commented Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO.

The lengths of the mineralized intersections are expressed as lengths measured along the drill core. Reminder of the highlights of the Chimo Mine Project: Recent positive Preliminary Economic Assessment* ( FIGURE 2):

Post-Tax NPV 5% of CAD$388M and 20.8% IRR

Average annual production of 116,900 ounces of gold at a milled average of 4.6 g/t Au for a 9.7 years mine life

Payback period of 2.9 years

Long term gold price of US$1,750/oz, exchange rate of CAD $1.00 = US $0.77

Capex of CAD$341M, average all-in sustaining cost of US$755/oz

Recent Mineral Resource Estimate** ( FIGURE 3 ):

720,000 ounces of gold in the indicated resource category

1,633,000 ounces of gold in the inferred resource category

The main portion of the Chimo Mine Project, 3.7 km long east-west, 1.6 km high and 500 m thick north-south, consists to date of 19 gold structures including 30 gold zones.

53% of diluted and recoverable ounces of gold are contained in 2 gold structures (5B and 5N).

46% of diluted and recoverable ounces of gold are contained in 5 gold zones (5BE, 5NE1-5NE2, 5B and 5NE).
