Abcourt Mines Inc.: Update on Elder Gold Mine

09.06.2014  |  Marketwired

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:

May - December 2013
8-month period
(3,015 T / month)
January - March 2014
3-month period, revised
(4,164 T / month)
Mine production, tonnes 24,110 12,491
Treated in mill, tonnes 22,333 10,042
Mill feed grade, grams Au / t 5.12 4.66
Gold recovery in mill 96.2 % 96.8 %
Gold recovered, ounces 3,683.83 1,515 ±
Silver recovered, ounces 992.75 1,015 ±
Proceeds from sale of gold and silver $4,955,633 $2,252,856 ±
End of period stockpile, tonnes 1,777 5,044
Mine development, meters 73.8 172
Average number of employees 42 53

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 8th 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.
