Abcourt Mines Inc.: Update on Elder Gold Mine

MONT-ST-HILAIRE, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Jun 9, 2014) -

Mr. Renaud Hinse, President and Chief Executive Officer of Abcourt Mines Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ABI)(BERLIN:AML)(FRANKFURT:AML) (the "Company") is pleased to provide information on the progress made in mine development at the Elder gold mine in North-Western Quebec, Canada. As the mine is not officially in production, the value of gold and silver produced as stated on page 15 of our March 31, 2014 financial statements is applied against the cost of the project.

On page 6 of these Financial Statements, under the title "Investing activities", you can see that the acquisition of deferred evaluation and exploration assets for the period July 2013 - March 2014 amounted to $8,045,449; the acquisition of fixed assets totaled $298,968 and the proceeds from the sale of gold and silver was $7,208,469. The net cost of the investment was only $1,135,948. During this period, financing activities with two private placements amounted to $1,170,275.

Mine development started in May 2013 and the treatment of gold mineralization at the Aurbec mill began on October 2, 2013. During the May-December period and the January - March quarter, results were as follows:

As you can see, things are progressing nicely. We expect to reach full production (150,000 tonnes per year) in the second half of calendar 2014 (see PEA study on SEDAR). You will notice that we had 5,000 tonnes of gold mineralization in stock piles at the end of March.

Our development drift on the 8^th level, at the west end of the mine, has now reached gold mineralization in a new zone. Visually, it looks good. Assays will follow.

In the stopes, on level 7, the thickness of the mineralized zone indicated by surface diamond drill holes, was 2 to 3 meters. In these stopes, in several places, we have found new veins in the roof and in the floor. At these places, the stopes are now 6 to 7 meters thick. We even found new veins in the roof of old stopes, mined in the past (1950's). With the additional thickness of stopes, it was necessary to reinforce the pillars in the room and pillar stopes. On the other hand, the additional mineralization will affect positively our resources and the life of the mine.
