Cartier Reports High Grade Gold Results on Rambull: 27.72 g/t Au over 0.30 m
VAL-D'OR,QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Aug. 12, 2009) - Cartier Resources Inc. (TSXVENTURE:ECR) ("Cartier") is pleased to announce new high grade goldresults on its Rambull Project near Val-d'Or, Quebec. Channel samplingfrom recent trenching exposures at surface returned intersectionsranging from 10.88 g/t Au over 1.00 meters and up to 27.72 g/t Au over0.30 meters. Results received to date are from three out of the ninetrenches (RAM-09-TR-01 to 09) excavated on two mineralized shears(refer to July 2, 2009 press release).
To date, numerous channel sample results show grades ranging from0.10 g/t to 1.00 g/t Au over sub-metric to metric widths. Best resultsfrom individual trenches include:
- Trench RAM-09-TR-01: 1.27 g/t Au over 0.30 meters;
- Trench RAM-09-TR-02: several high grade gold intersectionsincluding 22.08 g/t Au over 0.40 meters, 9.32 g/t Au over 0.40 meters,10.88 g/t Au over 1.00 meters and 2.61 g/t over 0.50 meters;
- Trench RAM-09-TR-03: 27.72 g/t Au over 0.30 meters and 2.18 g/t Au over 0.25 meters.
The samples cross quartz-chlorite-ankerite veins which are variablymineralized with pyrite. The veins are hosted within sheared andaltered granodiorite.
The three trenches are spaced over a 100-meter strike length of the northern shear that parallels a granodiorite sill.
The remaining samples from the other trenches have all been shippedto the laboratory for assaying. All trenches and channel samples arebeing surveyed in detail by a contractor.
Cartier is planning a follow-up diamond drill program on the mineralized zones.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control
The Rambull exploration program is conducted under the supervisionof Mr. Philippe Berthelot, P. Geo., qualified person as defined byNational Instrument 43-101. Cartier has implemented and adheres to astrict Quality Assurance/Quality Control program which includesmineralized standards and blanks for each batch of samples. Assaysamples are taken from drill core sawed in half with one half sent to acommercial laboratory and the other half retained for future reference.Analyses are either performed by Techni-lab S.G.B. Abitibi inc. inSainte-Germaine, Quebec, or by ALS-Chemex in Val-d'Or, Quebec, bothaccredited laboratories.
