Abcourt recovered and sold 2,394 ounces of gold during the quarter ended March
31, 2023 at its Sleeping Giant Mill
Rouyn-Noranda, Canada, April 4, 2023 - Abcourt Mines Inc. (“Abcourt” or the
“Corporation”) (TSX Venture: ABI) is pleased to announce that the cleanup of its Sleeping Giant
mill has continued with the recovery and sale of 2,394 ounces of gold during the quarter ended
March 31, 2023.
Abcourt commissioned a firm specializing in gold processing plant cleaning in August 2022. This
firm began cleaning the plant in September and concluded the gold recovery process in February
2023. The recovered material was sent to a specialized refinery. Gold recovery will continue from
this refinery during the months of April and May 2023 for Abcourt.
Abcourt recovered the gold that had been stored for decades in the circuit of the Sleeping Giant
Mill. It should be noted that the plant began operations in 1988 and that more than 3,000,000
tonnes of ore with a grade greater than 10 g/t Au were processed between 1988 and 2014.
Currently, an independent firm is carrying out a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) on the
Sleeping Giant Mine based on the Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) published in December
2022. See the press release published on December 13, 2022 as well as the NI 43-101 technical
report and Mineral Resource Estimate for the Sleeping Giant Mine filed on SEDAR on January
25, 2023 for further information. Abcourt plans to publish this PEA in the coming weeks.
