Abcourt Moves Closer to Production With the Purchase of Mill Equipment for the Abcourt-Barvue Project

Mr. Renaud Hinse, president and C.O.O. of Abcourt Mines Inc. (TSX VENTURE: ABI), is pleased to announce that Abcourt's offer to buy the "East Malartic" flotation and grinding mill equipment plus all accessories including bins, conveyors, cyclones, pumps, tanks, overhead cranes, lime and reagents circuits, electrical circuits, a gravity circuit with two 30" Knelson separators, spare parts, etc, has been accepted. The whole for an amount of $1,375,000.

This with the two ball mills, crusher and lime plant already purchased and the existing facilities on the mine site covers close to 90% of all the material needed for the construction of an 1800-tonne per day mill at our silver-zinc Abcourt-Barvue project. The dismantling and shipping of the mill equipment to our mine site will start in May next, after the spring thaw.

The purchase of mill equipment is a major step towards a production decision by Abcourt.

Abcourt Mines Inc. is an exploration and development company with strategically located properties in Northwestern Quebec, Canada. The Abcourt-Barvue project with 43-101 silver-zinc ore reserves and resources and the Elder mine with 43-101 gold resources are both past producers.
