Paul G. Anderson
President and CEO
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. In addition, Abacus holds a 15-year lease on the Jersey Valley gold property, near Battle Mt., Nevada.
