ABCOURT CLOSES A FOURTH TRANCHE OF THE PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF
UNITS PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED, FOR AN AMOUNT OF $1,060,000
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE
UNITED STATES
Rouyn-Noranda, Canada, May 31, 2024 - Abcourt Mines Inc. (“Abcourt” or the “Corporation”) (TSX
Venture: ABI) (OTCQB: ABMBF) announces that it has completed a fourth closing of the non- brokered
private placement announced on March 12, 2024 (the "Private Placement"), for additional gross proceeds
of $1,060,000, representing 21,200,000 units of the Corporation (the “Units”), at a price of $0.05 per Unit.
Each Unit consists of one common share of the Corporation (a "Common Share") and one common share
purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles its holder to subscribe for one Common Share at a
price of $0.06 for a period of 36 months.
To date, Abcourt has issued a total of 75,883,000 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,794,150 under
the Private Placement. The Coporation expects to close a final tranche of the Private Placement on or
before June 27, 2024.
It is expected that the net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to advance activities for
development and exploration at the Sleeping Giant Gold Project in the Abitibi Greenstone belt of Quebec
and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The closing of this fourth tranche constitutes a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral
Instrument 61–101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61–101”) as a
result of the purchase of 18,000,000 additional Units by SARL MF, an affiliate of François Mestrallet, a
“related party” of the Corporation. The Corporation has relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and
minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61– 101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI
61–101 in respect of the Private Placement as the fair market value (as determined under MI 61- 101) of
the insider participation in the Private Placement is below 25% of the Corporation 's market capitalization
(as determined in accordance with MI 61-101).
All securities issued in connection with the Private Placement are subject to a restricted period ending on
the date that is four months plus one day following the date of their issuance, in accordance with Canadian
securities laws. The Private Placement is subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The securities offered have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the
registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer
to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would
be unlawful.
