Abcourt has two gold assets of quality -- Elder and Sleeping Giant mines -- and several other properties with important gold mineralization. In zinc, there is the Abcourt-Barvue project with substantial zinc and silver resources and the following satellite properties: Vendome, Jonpol and Aldermac.

A surface drilling program is currently being conducted.

Strategy and outlook

Currently, the company is focusing on stabilizing and increasing the Elder production. The company's objective is to produce 12,500 tonnes per month.

The company wishes to increase the full capacity of the Sleeping Giant mill by treating custom ore and to reduce the operating cost per tonne treated.

For the long-term growth in the gold sector, the company has started a drilling program on the Discovery and Flordin gold properties, where substantial gold mineralization is found.
