UPDATE ON THE PREPARATION WORK FOR THE OPENING OF THE SLEEPING GIANT MINE _________________________________________________________________ Rouyn-Noranda, Québec, Canada, August 27, 2020
Abcourt Mines Inc. (TSX-V: ABI, Berlin: AML-BE and Frankfurt Stock Exchanges: AML-FF) (“Abcourt” or the “Corporation”), is pleased to announce that the preparation work for the opening of the Sleeping Giant mine is progressing as planned and that the objective of producing some ore at the Sleeping Giant mine, at the end of September or the beginning of October is attainable. To date, more than $5M has been invested in this project and the Company was able to do that with the Elder mine cash flow. The Company is very proud to have realized this project without contracting any debt.
Work to be done:
Shaft No.1 is used for the ventilation of mine and as an escape way. The old timber in the manway has to be replaced by new timber. Shaft No.2 is used for production and services. We have to repair and re-enforce the landings in the manway. The drifts that connect the two shafts have to be re-habilitated, as needed.
Work history: The rehabilitation of the mill and tailings pond was started immediately after the purchase of the property in 2016 and continues. The mine now has to be rehabilitated for its re-opening. Repair work in the mine was started in the second quarter of the annual period ending on June 30, 2020. It consisted in having the needed installations and the equipment for the work to be done. The repair of landings in shafts No.1 and No.2 followed. This work was stopped in December 2019 but it was re-started on April 16, 2020, with the re-opening of the mine after the closure due to Covid-19. For this work, we 2 made sure that the timber used (Douglas fir) would last a long time and allow the operation to continue for many years. In a press released dated June 5, 2020, we announced that work to re-open the we announced that work to re-open the Sleeping Giant mine had started. Progress made on mine rehabilitation In Shaft No.1, repairs were done from surface to level 100 and the additional timber needed to repair the shaft to level 235 meters was recently received. This will enable us to complete the repair work in shaft No.1. In Shaft No.2, all repairs have been done. The re-enforcing of landings and the installation of guards remain to be done. The drifts that connect shaft No.1 with shaft No.2 were upgraded on levels 55, 100, 145 and 190. After the repair of shaft No.1 to level 235 and after the upgrading of drifts on levels 235 and 295, we will start to produce some ore, probably at the end of September or beginning of October 2020. STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK Currently, the Corporation is focussed on gold. At the Elder mine, our objective is to increase production to 12,500 tonnes per month of gold mineralization. We wish to use the full capacity of the Sleeping Giant mill by opening the Sleeping Giant mine. This should reduce the operating cost per tonne treated. For the long-term, in the gold sector, the Corporation is planning a $2M drilling program at the Sleeping Giant gold property where substantial unexplored gold mineralization is found.

$Abcourt with an Active Mine in Abitibi and a Zoom Meeting Soon Bob Moriarty Archives May 27, 2021
I had a Canadian junior contact me a year or so back wanting to be an advertiser. I looked into the company and intended to write about them but I kept running into stumbling blocks. To me clearly they have something worth owning but frankly the website confused me. They are no longer an advertiser but they have a zoom meeting coming up in a few days with Renau Hinse their CEO and investors can ask any questions they may have.

$Currently they are in production at the Elder Gold mine albeit tiny with only 13,000 ounces of gold produced in 2020.
$Abcourt also has the Sleeping Giant gold mine with a mill that can process 700-750 tonnes per day with a 210,000 gold 43-101 resource.
The project that caught my eye and the reason I think they could be a real sleeper is the Abcourt-Barvue silver/zinc mine with a 43-101 resource of 22 million ounces of silver and 675 million pounds of zinc.
That’s a billion dollars of rock in the ground and it seems to me it should be worth something.
Clearly the website was designed by a geo. It is filled with numbers that I am sure are accurate but it doesn’t c o municate well.
Listening to the Zoom call and asking good questions could be quite rewarding.
Abcourt is not an advertiser and I don’t own shares. Do your own due diligence.
If you look at Elder only, The cost per ton including administratives fees is 230$ in the presentation.
Should they get 4 g/t it is about 1610Cad$ or 1280 US$
The reason why cost are high is that they are developing Sleeping Giant.
They always had reasonable cost until they start to open the giant again.
Now $1280 us is at 4 gram tons. But the last pr with results from feb 2021 leave a much better grade and thus a lower price.
The Giant has 12 g/t material so you need the third of material for same profit. :-))
At 230 per ton it is 575 CAD$ per ounces of gold or 459US$
So yes I do strongly believe cost are just about to go significantly down.
for 3 reasons
1- Better grade at Elder
2- No more spending in development at Sleeping Giant paid by Elder but a profitable operation at both mine
3-Sleeping giant Has 3 time better grade and cost should be really lower.
For all those reason I think we still need a bit of suffering for the Giant to be done in a couple of month but every press release numbers seems to be better and I am very confident they will get amazingly better with the Giant. by rpm111
Abcourt eng. is often very conservative on every estimate, imo!
Let's move on :-))
