(\"Abcourt\" or the \"Company\") (TSX Venture: ABI) (OTCQB: ABMBF) is pleased to announce that it is undertaking a 20,000-metre drilling program on the Flordin Property. This drilling campaign (Phase 2) will be divided between the Cartwright sector and the South Zone sector, which were the subject of a first phase of drilling of approximately 4,000 metres last year. The ultimate objective of this campaign is to extend the various gold-bearing zones at depth and laterally to establish the connection of all mineralized zones over more than two kilometres. The gold mineralization observed in both areas (Cartwright and South Zone) is characterized by the presence of pyrite bands in altered hematite-silica-carbonate rich zones within the Cameron Deformation Zone. Summary of Phase 2 of the Drilling Campaing: Cartwright Area Approximately 10,000 metres of drilling will be completed in the Cartwright area under stripping completed in 2024 and 2025, as well as in the eastern extension of the mineralized zone to the boundary of our property and Agnico Eagle Mines' Kinebic property. (Figure 2). The new holes are aimed at confirming the continuity of mineralization to the east and west. The historic Adam-Horse and Little Joe gold zones are connected to each other. The host, which is a basalt-andesitic, contains gold grades ranging from 100 ppb to more than 3 g/t gold. The unification of these three gold zones creates large potentially economic gold envelopes of several tens of metres. South Zone Sector Approximately 10,000 metres of drilling is planned in the eastern extensions and at depth of the South Zone of the Flordin deposit (Figure 4). This gold-bearing zone was discovered in 1988 by Cambior. Abcourt intersected in the eastern extension of this zone up to 1.1 g/t gold over 47.2 metres (press release dated March 18, 2025). The new drilling will attempt to confirm the extension of the South Zone both to the east and at depth. Short drilling will also be done in the vicinity of the Altered Zone, which was intercepted last year in hole FL-25-283 and returned 0.9 g/t gold over 19 metres including 3.1 g/t gold over 3.1 metres near surface (press release dated April 23, 2025).
