Abcourt Resumes Drilling on its Flordin Property with a
20,000-metre Campaign
Rouyn-Noranda, Canada, February 5, 2026 – Abcourt Mines Inc. ("Abcourt" or the "Company")
(TSX Venture: ABI) (OTCQB: ABMBF) is pleased to announce that it is undertaking a 20,000 -metre
drilling program on the Flordin Property.
This drilling campaign (Phase 2) will be divided between the Cartwright sector and the South Zone sector,
which were the subject of a first phase of drilling of approximately 4, 000 metres last year. The ultimate
objective of this campaign is to extend the various gold-bearing zones at depth and laterally to establish
the connection of all mineralized zones over more than two kilometres.
The gold mineralization observed in both areas (Cartwright and South Zone) is characterized by the
presence of pyrite bands in altered hematite-silica-carbonate rich zones within the Cameron Deformation
Zone.
Summary of Phase 2 of the Drilling Campaing:
Cartwright Area
Approximately 10,000 metres of drilling will be completed in the Cartwright area under stripping
completed in 2024 and 2025, as well as in the eastern extension of the mineralized zone to the boundary
of our property and Agnico Eagle Mines' Kinebic property. (Figure 2).
The new holes are aimed at confirming the continuity of mineralization to the east and west. The historic
Adam-Horse and Little Joe gold zones are connected to each other. The host, which is a basalt-andesitic,
contains gold grades ranging from 100 ppb to more than 3 g/t gold. The unification of these three gold
zones creates large potentially economic gold envelopes of several tens of metres.
South Zone Sector
Approximately 10,000 metres of drilling is planned in the eastern extensio ns and at depth of the South
Zone of the Flordin deposit (Figure 4). This gold- bearing zone was discovered in 1988 by Cambior.
Abcourt intersected in the eastern extension of this zone up to 1.1 g/t gold over 47.2 metres (press
release dated March 18, 2025).
The new drilling will attempt to confirm the extension of the South Zone both to the east and at depth.
Short drilling will also be done in the vicinity of the Altered Zone, which was intercepted last year in hole
FL-25-283 and returned 0.9 g/t gold over 19 metres including 3.1 g/t gold over 3.1 metres near
surface (press release dated April 23, 2025).

Pascal Hamelin, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "This second phase of drilling
of a minimum of 20,000 metres is only the beginning of our ambitious development plan for our Flordin
project. By confirming the connection of the mineralization observed in the Cartwright and Flordin areas,
we will have a high-grade gold corridor of more than 2 kilometres in length and less than 30 kilometres
from the town of Lebel-Sur-Quévillon."
