Abcourt samples up to 59.9 g/t Gold in the vicinity of the Cartwright Deposit on its Flordin Property
20 Junio 2024 - 7:00AM
Abcourt Mines Inc. (“Abcourt” or the “Company”) (TSX
Venture : ABI, OTCQB: ABMBF) is pleased to announce its
prospecting and mapping results on its Flordin property in the
Lebel-sur-Quévillon area. The fieldwork, carried out in early June
2024, resampled old trenches sunk in the rock near the old
Cartwright shaft.
The mineralization consists of injections of
pyrite and hematite into a sheared and altered basalt. High gold
grades have been obtained (up to 59.9 g/t gold) in
this type of mineralization. Recall that the 2023 drilling also
intercepted this type of high-grade gold mineralization (up to
14.79 g/t gold over 4 metres, press release dated
January 30, 2024). Surface work has followed over 3 km in strike
length of high-grade gold mineralization across the entire
property. As a result of the work carried out, we can confirm that
the pyrite, hematite and gold-rich band mineralization sampled in
the field by our team is possibly the surface expression of the
south zone that was intercepted by Cambior in 1988 in hole S-158
(3 g/t gold over 16 metres). This is located at
the eastern end of the Flordin deposit and intersected a lithology
described as being made up of "magnetic mafic bands, strongly
altered and mineralized, brecciated, carbonated, hematized and
mineralized in fine disseminated pyrite".
Also, the drilling work carried out in 2011 on
the Flordin property, by North American Palladium, directly
connects the area of the 2023 Abcourt drilling to the Cartwright
deposit. The conclusion of the report of the work of T. Birkett,
Eng. states: "The drilling drilled between the Flordin deposit and
the Cartwright Zone to study the continuity of the mineralized
zones between these two areas has revealed good grades and shows
numerous intersections above 1 g/t gold as well as several values
above 5 g/t gold. These results allow us to establish continuity
between the mineralized zones of the Flordin deposit and those of
Cartwright."

In order to properly expose the recently updated
mineralized zones, we have applied for an authorization permit for
deforestation and stripping from the Ministry of Natural Resources
and Forests. Upon receipt of this authorization, we will proceed
with the stripping and channeling of the newly discovered
mineralized zones in the Cartwright area.
Pascal Hamelin, President and CEO
comments: “Recent prospecting work demonstrates the
surface continuity of the high-grade gold zones. We believe that
the southern area is continuous for more than 3 km on either side
of our property. The stripping work that will follow shortly will
demonstrate the relevance of our approach. We view our Flordin
property as a significant gold opportunity within our project
portfolio.”

Analytical Procedure
The selected rock samples were shipped and
analyzed by the MSALABS laboratory in Val-d'Or, Quebec, using the
Photon AssayTM method. The samples were crushed to 70% passing two
millimeters with a 500-gram division for gamma ray assay for gold.
According to MSALABS' internal procedure, blank and standard
samples are inserted. MSA operates numerous laboratories around the
world and maintains ISO-17025 accreditation for many metal
determination methods. MSA is an ISO-17025 accredited laboratory
for the photonic analysis method.
