ABCOURT RECOVERED AND SOLD 2,394 OUNCES OF GOLD DURING THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2023 AT ITS SLEEPING GIANT MILL
Rouyn-Noranda, Canada, April 4, 2023 – Abcourt Mines Inc. (“Abcourt” or the “Corporation”) (TSX Venture: ABI) is pleased to announce that the cleanup of its Sleeping Giant mill has continued with the recovery and sale of 2,394 ounces of gold during the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
Abcourt commissioned a firm specializing in gold processing plant cleaning in August 2022. This firm began cleaning the plant in September and concluded the gold recovery process in February 2023. The recovered material was sent to a specialized refinery. Gold recovery will continue from this refinery during the months of April and May 2023 for Abcourt.
Abcourt recovered the gold that had been stored for decades in the circuit of the Sleeping Giant Mill. It should be noted that the plant began operations in 1988 and that more than 3,000,000 tonnes of ore with a grade greater than 10 g/t Au were processed between 1988 and 2014.
