| About Abacus | ||
| Abacus is a mineral exploration and mine development company currently focused on its optioned Willow copper- | ||
| gold property located near Yerington, Nevada in which it can acquire up to a 75% ownership interest, and the | ||
| contiguous Nev-Lorraine claims subject to a ten-year lease agreement. The Company also holds a 20% ownership | ||
| interest, together with KGHM Polska Meidz S.A. (80%), in the proposed copper-gold Ajax Mine located southwest | ||
| of Kamloops, B.C., which has recently undergone a joint provincial and federal environmental assessment process. | ||
| On December 14, 2017, a decision was made by the B.C. Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy | ||
| and the Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum resources to decline to issue an environmental assessment | ||
| certificate for the Project. For the latest reports and information on Abacus’ projects, please refer to the Company’s | ||
