Cartier Cuts 24.5 g/t Gold Over 3.0 Meters on Benoist Project

Cartier Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ECR) ("Cartier") announces additional drill
results from recent drilling that confirm the continuity at depth of the
Pusticamica gold deposit (refer to press release dated September 18, 2012), on
the Benoist project. The new results increase the volume of the gold mineralized
zone.


Additional sampling in drill Hole Pu-12-01 yielded 24.5 g/t gold over 3.0
meters(i) at a depth of 475 meters and is included within a mineralized envelop
that grades 0.9 g/t gold over 134.0 meters. This new gold intersection, along
the depth extension of the Pusticamica Gold-Bearing Zone, is situated over 200
meters from historical drilling and is located 27 meters from a high grade
intersection recently announced grading 9.3 g/t gold over 3.0 meters included
within an interval grading 0.6 g/t Au over 73.0 meters.


"This project acquisition completed in March 2012 now shows greater reward
potential for Cartier investors since the results of our first drill programme
confirm that the Pusticamica Gold-Bearing Zone is wide, continuous and opens at
depth. The programme was aimed at better defining and increasing the volume of
the gold-bearing mineralization of the deposit." commented Philippe Cloutier,
President and Chief Executive Officer. "These two new high grade intersections,
each 3.0 meters wide, demonstrate the continuity of the gold mineralization at
depths over 475 meters. The 2012 objective has been reached and the team is
confident in planning the 2013 programme with the aim of further growing this
project." added Mr. Cloutier.


The Benoist project is situated 65 km north-east of the town of
Lebel-sur-Quevillon, 25 km from the Bachelor Mine in Desmaraisville and 30 km
from the Nyrstar's Gonzague-Langlois Mine.
