Abcourt intersects 3.7 g/t gold over 11 metres directly below the Cartwright stripping
and publishes a summary of the 2025 drilling campaign on its Flordin property in the
Lebel-Sur-Quévillon area
Rouyn-Noranda, Canada, May 12, 2025 – Abcourt Mines Inc. (“Abcourt” or the “Company”) (TSX
Venture : ABI) (OTCQB : ABMBF) is pleased to announce the latest assay results from its 2025 drilling
campaign on its Flordin property in the Lebel -Sur-Quévillon area. Hole FL-25-284 intersected 3.7 g/t
gold over 11 metres including 11.0 g/t gold over 2.4 metres. The high-grade gold mineralized zone
was intercepted less than 3 metres from surface directly below the Cartwright stripping. Note that the
easternmost hole of the stripping (FL-25-277: 1.4 g/t gold over 13 metres) confirms that the Adam and
Horse mineralized zones continue well beyond this one and therefore remains open to the East. The
same is true for the westernmost hole (FL-25-286: 0.4 g/t gold over 16 metres) which also confirms that
the mineralization is continuous and open in this direction.
The mineralization described in the Cartwright area consists mainly of gold -bearing pyrite band with
silica-hematite without quartz vein. This type of characteristic high-grade gold mineralization has been
described in the central area of the property (2023 drilling) and in the South Zone area which is located
almost 2 kilometres from the Cartwright Zone (see surface plan for general locatio n). A comparative
petrographic study is being conducted by Ms. Lucie Mathieu, Ph.D. of GEOX Consulting Inc. to describe
the similarities and differences observed in the gold mineralization for the three sectors (Cartwright,
Central Zone and South Zone). A geochemical study of the major elements is also being carried out,
which will make it possible to identify the lithologies and alterations present in the various mineralized
areas of the property.
The objectives of the 2025 drilling campaign on the Flordin property are:
Objective 1 : Confirm the continuity of gold mineralization directly below the Cartwright stripping
completed in the fall of 2024. A total of nine (9) short holes for a total of 1227 metres were drilled in the
Cartwright area. All the 2025 drillings carried out under stripping returned gold values over tens of metres
in length. Hole FL-25-274 returned 3.5 g/t gold over 27.5 metres, including 12.1 g/t over 7.5 metres.
Making this intersection one of the richest in gold in the project.
Objective 2: Confirm the presence and continuity of the South Zone that was discovered in 1988 by
Cambior. Demonstrate that the mineralization of the South Zone is similar/different to that observed and
described in the Cartwright area. In all, four (4) deep holes for a total of 2403 metres were made. All
2025 drilling in this area returned gold values over tens of metres in length. Hole FL-25-282 returned 1.1
g/t gold over 47.2 metres, including 7.6 g/t gold over 3 metres.
The mineralization of the South Zone is like that described in the Cartwright area. In general, silicification
seems to be more important for the South Zone. However, it should be noted that both zones are
characterized by high-grade gold mineralization associated with bands of pyrite, silica and hematite. The
gold mineralization is not associated with quartz veins but rather with pyrite-silica-hematite bands.
The table below provides a summary of all significant gold assay results obtained from the 2025 holes.
It should be noted that all the holes drilled during this phase of work, i.e. 100% of the drill holes intercepted
gold values.

Pascal Hamelin, President and Chief Executive Officer comments : “The 2025 drilling campaign
carried out on our Flordin project was a great success. All the drill holes drilled by our technical team
returned gold values over tens of meters of thickness. This first phase of work will have identified a
characteristic type of high-grade gold mineralization over a distance of at least 2 kilometres. The second
phase of drilling will aim to link the various mineralized zones laterally. The Flordin project is
advantageously located less than 20 kilometres North of the municipality of Lebel-Sur-Quévillon and less
than 1.5 kilometres North of the Canadian National Transcontinental Railway.”
