Cartier Provides 2011 Review and 2012 Plan

VAL-D'OR, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Feb. 2, 2012) - Cartier Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ECR) (" Cartier ") is pleased to provide a review of 2011 while looking forward to key near term milestones the Company expects to achieve in 2012.

Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO stated: "2011 has been the transitional year we wanted for Cartier. We added value to key projects. For example, on Dollier, we started the year with a surface showing and drilled 28 holes, at year end we could see the mineralized zone developing at depth and laterally. On Cadillac Extension, results were even more conclusive as the Langlade deposit now shows a potential for a resource, and new discoveries provide upside for the eastern portion of the project. "

Cartier developed a three-year plan to achieve important milestones. 2012 starts with drilling on the high profile Cadillac Extension project. "We intend to acquire two new advanced projects and are confident that Cartier will have at year end achieved significant steps toward providing our investors with resource based projects."

2011 highlights on key projects:
