Abcourt completes an induced polarization survey on its Flordin property between the Cartwright stripping and drilling completed in 2023
20 November 2024 - 11:00PM
Abcourt Mines Inc. (“Abcourt” or the “Company”) (TSX
Venture: ABI) (OTCQB : ABMBF) is
pleased to announce that the induced polarization survey undertaken
in early November on the Flordin property has been completed and
results are now available.
Highlights:
- A first geophysical domain with
high chargeability and resistivity associated with a high magnetic
that is continuous over one kilometre, from the Cartwright
stripping to the 2023 drilling. Geophysical signature typical of
the gold-bearing shear zones found in the Abitibi.
- A second geophysical domain with
high chargeability and lower resistivity associated with a magnetic
trough south of the main access road.
- Historical drilling in the vicinity
of the main anomalies contained in the two geophysical domains
contains high gold grades (between 5 and 10 g/t gold) and
incomplete assays in the context of the current gold price.
At the end of October 2024, Abcourt mandated MG
Exploration to carry out line cutting. Eleven (11) kilometres of
line were cut. The grid fully covers the 1-kilometre portion
between the 2023 drilling and the recently stripped Cartwright
Zone. A high-resolution induced polarization survey targeting an
investigation depth of 200 metres was conducted by Géophysique TMC.
The results of this survey clearly demonstrate two different
geophysical domains.
The first geophysical domain (Flordin gold
trend) is continuous over one kilometre and clearly connects the
recently stripped Cartwright zone to drilling completed in 2023,
including hole FL-23-265 which intersected 14.79 g/t gold
over 4 metres (press release dated January 30, 2024). This
geophysical domain is characterized by a zone of high magnetism
corresponding to the basalt hosting the Cameron Shear Zone. All
along the baseline that connects the two sectors of interest, there
is a thin anomalous horizon in chargeability and is within the
limits of a more extensive resistive level likely to mark the
presence of altered and silicified rocks. This type of geophysical
signature is often characteristic of the gold-bearing shear zones
found in the Abitibi. Historical drilling by NAP Quebec Mines Ltd.
in this geophysical area has intersected high grades gold (5 to 10
g/t gold) and confirms the continuity of the mineralized zones
contained between the Cartwright stripping and the 2023 drilling.
Note that re-verification work on the old drill core available is
currently underway. Consultation of old drill logs suggests that
mineralized intersections are not properly analyzed. This new
geophysical survey will allow us to better orient future drilling
and maximize the results of these holes.
The second geophysical domain, located
immediately south of the first domain, is characterized by a
magnetic trough likely to mark a change in the nature of the
underlying units. The bottom level of chargeability in this area is
very high and that in resistivity, lower than that of the adjacent
domain to the north (Flordin gold trend). Prospecting carried out
last summer in this area made it possible to sample outcrops that
are often anomalous in gold and strongly altered in
silica-carbonate. Old holes drilled in 1982 by the Sullivan Mining
Group in this area intercepted strong gold values (up to 7 g/t
gold). Consultation of the drill logs also shows mineralized
intersections with incomplete assays in the context of the current
gold price. New drilling is planned in this area with high
potential, and which remains very little drilled so far.

Pascal Hamelin, president and CEO
comments: “The results of this induced polarization survey
are conclusive. These clearly demonstrate in the first area of
interest, the continuity and continuation of high-grade gold
mineralization over a distance of one kilometre, from the recently
stripped area to the drilling completed in 2023. In addition, the
confirmation of a second area of interest south of the baseline
seems very promising. Drilling will be carried out shortly to test
these anomalies.”
