MONT-ST-HILAIRE, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - June 15, 2010) -Mr. Renaud Hinse, president and C.E.O. of Abcourt Mines Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ABI)(BERLIN:ABI)(FRANKFURT:ABI), is pleased to announce that excellent results have been obtained in surface diamond drilling on the Elder Gold Property, as follows:
| Hole No | From M | To M | Length meters | Gold grams/tonne |
| E10-01 E10-02 E10-07 inc | 134.15 175.17 186.47 199.50 201.87 287.95 288.56 | 135.15 176.04 187.70 201.87 208.00 290.97 289.79 | 1.00 0.87 1.23 2.37 6.13 3.02 1.23 | 4.86 5.82 7.60 8.24 2.40 10.01 20.86 |
All assays were done by Techni-Lab S.G.B. Abitibi inc., an approved laboratory.
The first two holes were drilled vertically beyond the mine workings on the fifth level. They indicate a strong potential for the continuation of the mineralized zone to the east. Hole E10-07 was drilled vertically 30 meters south of the 7th level at the west end of the mine. Excellent values were obtained over a good width. This hole confirms the extension at depth of a high grade gold zone.
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 Bérubé, P. Eng., consultant from Trois-Rivières, 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 | 3.8grams/tonne | 5.1 grams/tonne | |||||
| Description | Tonnes | Au gr/t | Ounces | Tonnes | Au gr/t | Ounces | |
| Measured | 402,286 | 6.5 | 83,635 | 256,379 | 7.7 | 63,736 | |
| Indicated | 402,742 | 6.6 | 85,502 | 287,296 | 7.7 | 71,422 | |
| Measured & Indicated | 805,028 | 6.5 | 169,137 | 543,675 | 7.7 | 135,158 | |
| Inferred | 237,289 | 6.1 | 46,722 | 159,704 | 7.2 | 37,067 | |
Our objective with the current drilling programme is to expand 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.
