| About Abacus | ||
| Abacus is a mineral exploration and mine development company currently focused on copper and gold in B.C. and | ||
| Nevada. The Company’s main asset is a 20% ownership interest, together with KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. (80%), | ||
| in the proposed copper-gold Ajax Mine located southwest of Kamloops, B.C., which has 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. KGHM have recently reopened an office in | ||
| Kamloops, B.C. to facilitate First Nation, community and governmental engagement in order to advance the project | ||
| towards a potential resubmission of the environmental application. | ||
| Abacus also holds an option on the 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. | ||
