Abcourt Acquires Nine (9) Claims Contiguous to its Abcourt-Barvue Property in Abitibi-Témiscamingue.
April 16 2024 - 8:17AM
Abcourt Mines Inc. (“Abcourt” or “the Company”) (TSX
Venture : ABI) is pleased to announce that it has obtained
by map designation on April 14, 2024, nine (9) claims contiguous to
its Abcourt-Barvue Property, located in the Barraute area, in
Abitibi-Témiscamingue. The Abcourt-Barvue Property consists of two
mining leases and 103 designated cells for a total of 5,123.4
hectares. Abcourt owns 100% of the Property, which is free of any
royalty.
The addition of these 9 claims to the Property
is strategic as they partially cover the continuity of the Figuery
Group, which hosts the zinc-silver mineralization recognized on the
Property. Following the increase in the price of silver, the
Company decided to add these claims to its already large original
block. Indeed, at publication in 2019 of the last economic
opportunity study done by Paul Bonneville, P.Eng. the terms of
reference for the price of silver was set at 16$USD/oz. As of
today, the silver is trading at over USD 28$/oz. It is important to
note that the Abcourt-Barvue Property is one of the few advanced
zinc and silver projects in Abitibi-Témiscamingue. The latest NI
43-101 compliant mineral resources estimate, completed in 2014 by
J-P Bérubé, P. Eng. (available on SEDAR+), indicates the presence
of a measured and indicated category resource in the order of 8
million tonnes of ore at 3% zinc and 55 g/t Ag.
Pascal Hamelin, President and CEO,
comments: « Since the Government of Canada's addition of
zinc to the list of critical minerals in 2021, we believe we are in
a good position to capitalize on a forward-looking project in terms
of energy transition. Indeed, with the rising prices of zinc, and
especially silver, our Abcourt-Barvue project is one of the most
advanced in Quebec and could become the next zinc mine.»
