All assays were done by Techni-Lab S.G.B. Abitibi inc., an approved laboratory.

Holes E10-08, E10-09 and E10-14 shows good values at depth below the 7th level. Holes E10-11 and E10-13 are infill holes in the western part of the mine. Hole E10-15 indicates an extension of the mineralized zone beyond the western limit of the mine. Assays are pending for holes E10-10, E10-16, E10-17 and E10-18. More than 2,100 meters of drilling remains to be done on our 10,000-meter drilling program. The drill is now moving to the eastern part of the mine to extend the mineralized zone to the east.

In the past (1944-1964), the Elder mine produced 350,000 ounces of gold.

In July 2009, a revision of the resources for the Elder property was completed by an independent qualified person, Mr. Jean-Pierre Berube, P. Eng., consultant from Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, Canada. This revision was made according to NI 43-101 Standards.

Here is a summary of the non-diluted resources, converted to metric:

Cut-off grade             3.8 grams/tonne              5.1 grams/tonne

Our current drilling programme is expanding these resources.

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 and the Aldermac property with historical copper-zinc resources are all former producers. Abcourt is now focused on bringing the Abcourt-Barvue and Elder projects back in production and at the same time, it is working on other projects (Aldermac, Jonpol and Vendome), to increase its mineral resources inventory. A positive 43-101 feasibility study was completed in 2007 on the Abcourt-Barvue project. In addition, mill equipment was purchased. A 43-101 resource calculation was recently done for the Elder mine.
