Abcourt Mines Rebound After the Mandatory Closing Due to Covid-19

29.09.2020  |  The Newswire
Rouyn-Noranda, Sept. 29, 2020 - Abcourt Mines Inc. (TSXV:ABI), (OTC:ABMBF), (Berlin:AML-BE) and Frankfurt Stock Exchanges:AML-FF ("Abcourt" or the "Corporation"), is happy to announce that the restart of mining activities after the mandatory closing due to Covid-19 was vigorous. Thanks to the increase in the price of gold, the proceeds received from the sale of gold and silver for the first quarter (July to September 2020), should reach $7.5M CDN. This is expected to be one of the best quarters since June 2018.


During this quarter, Abcourt received $725,000 in salary subsidy from the Federal government. This subsidy and the substantial amount received from sales in the first quarter enabled Abcourt to increase its available cash from $1.96M on June 30, 2020 to $3.30M on September 28, 2020. Figures indicated above have not been checked nor audited by our independent auditors. With the sanitary measures put in place, no Covid-19 cases have been reported by our employees to-date.


Being well capitalized and with a trustworthy and consistent source of revenues at the Elder mine, the Corporation will use its available cash to extend its exploration drifts on the 4th, 10th and 11th levels of the Elder mine and proceed as fast as possible with the rehabilitation work and development at the Sleeping Giant mine.

STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK

Currently, the Corporation is focussed on gold. At the Elder mine, our objective is to increase production to 12,500 tonnes per month of gold ore.

We wish to use the full capacity of the Sleeping Giant mill by opening the Sleeping Giant mine. This should reduce the operating cost per tonne treated.

For the long-term, in the gold sector, the Corporation is planning a $2M drilling program at the Sleeping Giant gold property where substantial unexplored gold mineralization is found.
