Abcourt Mines Inc. (“Abcourt” or the “Corporation”)
(TSX Venture: ABI) (OTCQB: ABMBF) is
pleased to announce results from the underground diamond drilling
campaign at the Sleeping Giant mine.
From December 2023 until April 30, 2024, Abcourt
has carried out, from levels 235 and 295, 17 drilling holes
totaling 2,005 meters in the DAC 5 area. The first diamond drill
holes realized are used to optimize the mining plan of the DAC 5
sector accessible in 2024 for the extraction start.
Abcourt presents the results of 5 drill holes
totaling 493m drilled underground from level 295.
The highlights of the analysis results, included
in this press release, are as follows:
91.8 g/t Au over 0.5 meter in
hole 29-269.
30.8 g/t Au over 0.5 meter in
hole 29-273.
The main results of holes drilled from level 295
are displayed in Table 1.

The main results of the holes drilled from the
295 level are shown in a longitudinal section and plan view (Figure
1).
Figure 1: Level 295, Sector DAC 5, Plan
View and Section Looking North.
Drilling data from holes 29-270 and 29-273 show
that the main vein (vein 1) continues westward and that we can
advance the development of the sill and sublevel 1.
The drilling data also show the presence of
another mineralized vein (vein 4) oriented N-S to NNW-SSE and with
a slight dip visible in the sub-levels and intercepted by drilling
29-269.
In light of these results, we added drill holes
to evaluate the western and upward extension of vein 1 as well as
the northward extension of vein 4.
Mohamed Haithem Bennia, Chief Geologist
at the Sleeping Giant mine, comments: “We are very excited
about the initial results obtained in the DAC 5 sector, which
confirms the extensions of our veins and indicate the presence of
other veins that need to be tested. This data justifies additional
drilling work in order to provide engineers with an accurate and
complete model for optimizing the mining plan.”
Quality Control Measures
(QA/QC)
The drilling, core description and analysis
preparation work was carried out under the supervision of Mohamed
Haithem Bennia, geo, chief geologist, qualified person according to
Regulation 43-101.
Following an analytical quality assurance and
control program, blank samples and certified reference materials as
well as duplicates were added among the AQTK caliber core samples
before being crushed at the Sleeping Giant mine’s in-house assay
laboratory and analyzed by Techni-Lab S.G.B. Abitibi inc. division
of ActLabs which is an accredited external laboratory, registered
to ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 17025 certified CCN (lab707), MELCC
(lab375) located in Sainte-Germaine-Boulé, Quebec
The analyses were carried out by pyroanalysis
(A.A.) with finishing by atomic absorption. Samples with a grade
greater than 10g/t Au were reanalyzed with a gravimetric
finish.
