About Abacus
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, Mi nes 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.
