Abcourt Mines Inc. Intersects Gold In Drilling On Flordin Property Abcourt Mines Inc. had completed all drilling east of the Cartwright stripping to the boundary of its Flordin property and the Kinebik property now owned by Vior Gold Corporation. Eleven holes were drilled on two NW-SE lines for a total of 2,960 metres. As of the date of the article, 3,900 metres of drilling have been completed during the 2026 drilling campaign, which totals 20,000 metres. The next area to be drilled is located 300 metres west of the Cartwright stripping. Four holes will test the lateral and depth extensions of stripping no 25-02 (9.5 g/t gold over 7 metres including 112.7 g/t gold over 0.5 metres) and no 25-01 (1.4 g/t gold over 4.0 metres). New drilling in the eastern sector of the property extended the known mineralized zones to the boundary of the Flordin property with the Kinebik property. All the drill hole intersected gold values. Hole FL-26-291 returned 1.7 g/t gold over 12 metres, including 15.2 g/t gold over 1 metre, within 50 metres of the property boundary. Based on geological observations and assay results, despite the continuity of the structure, mineralization, alteration and gold grades are less significant east of the Cartwright stripping than to the west. Table 1 provides a summary of the eastern sector drill results. With the eastern holes completed, the 2026 campaign will move westward and attempt to link the mineralized zones of stripping 25-01 and 25-02 with the holes drilled in 2023, to finally end in the South Zone area. With the 2026 drilling rate reached and steady, the company expects to drill no less than 2,000 metres per month, with only one drill rig in operation. Following an analytical quality assurance and quality control program, blank samples and certified reference materials were added to the NQ half core samples and were shipped and analyzed by the MSALABS laboratory in Val-d'Or, Quebec using the Photon Assay 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. The drilling, core description and assay preparation work was carried out under the supervision of Robert Gagnon, P.Geo., Vice-President of Exploration of Abcourt Mines, a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101.

Abcourt Mines Inc. Provides Operations Update At the Sleeping Giant Mine, Located in the Eeyou Istchee Region of Quebec Abcourt Mines Inc. provided an update on development work completed at the Sleeping Giant Mine, located in the Eeyou Istchee region of Quebec. In March, Abcourt continued hiring and training miners. Nine new employees joined the Abcourt team, bringing the total to 143 employees. The plan is to bring the total workforce to 190 employees in the coming months. The development of the drifts leading to the next long-hole stopes remains the Company's priority. The first long-hole drill will be commissioned underground during the month of April and Abcourt anticipates the start of the first long-hole stopes in early summer 2026. The work at the mining camp continued in March with the addition of a 37-room block, on top of the existing 50 rooms. This second phase in the mining camp construction was commissioned April 13. The construction of the third block of rooms in the mining camp is scheduled to begin in early summer. A gravimetric geophysical survey will soon be conducted across the entire Sleeping Giant property by the Val-d’Or-based firm Géophysique TMC. Approximately 750 measurement points will be used to cover the entire site. The objective of this study is to identify the possible presence of significant mineralized zones at depth, which could correspond to massive sulfide deposits. This technology can detect anomalies up to approximately 2 kilometers below the surface, depending on conditions. This survey is justified by recent observations of drill cores, which have revealed the presence of minerals such as sphalerite and chalcopyrite, often associated with gold. These observations suggest significant mineral potential linked to a deep volcanic source. It is important to note that a survey of this scale has never been conducted on the property before, making it a first for Abcourt Mines. The results will allow for better targeting of future drilling and assessment of the deposit's potential at depth, with the aim of optimizing the next stages of exploration.
