ABCOURT CLOSES $10 MILLION BROKERED PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Abcourt Mines Inc. has closed its previously announced brokered best effort private placement conducted by Red Cloud Securities Inc. as lead agent and sole bookrunner for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $10-million through the sale of: (i) 41,666,666 flow-through units of the corporation sold to charitable purchasers at a price of 12 cents per charity FT unit; and (ii) 58,823,530 units of the corporation at a price of 8.5 cents per unit.

Each charity FT unit consists of one Class B share of the corporation and one Class B share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles its holder to purchase one Class B share of the corporation at a price of 12 cents per warrant share until Oct. 31, 2028. Each CFT share and warrant comprising the charity FT unit qualify as a flow-through share within the meaning of Subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and Section 359.1 of the Taxation Act (Quebec).

Each unit consists of one Class B share of the corporation and one warrant, with each warrant exercisable by the holder to acquire a warrant share at a price of 12 cents until Oct. 31, 2028.

The corporation expects to use the net proceeds from the sale of units for working capital and general corporate purposes. The gross proceeds from the sale of the charity FT units will be used for the exploration and advancement of the corporation's Flordin-Cartwright project, located in the Abitibi greenstone belt in Quebec. The gross proceeds from the issue and sale of the charity FT units will be used for Canadian exploration expenses as defined in paragraph (f) of the definition of Canadian exploration expense in Subsection 66.1(6) of the tax act and will qualify as flow-through mining expenditures as defined in Subsection 127(9) of the tax act that will qualify as flow-through mining expenditures as defined in Section 359.1 of the Quebec Tax Act, which will be incurred on or before Dec. 31, 2026, and renounced to the purchasers of charity FT units with an effective date no later than Dec. 31, 2025, in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of the charity FT units. In the event that the corporation is unable to renounce or incur 100 per cent of the qualifying expenditures, the corporation will indemnify each purchaser of charity FT units for the additional taxes payable by such purchaser as a result of the corporation's failure to renounce the qualifying expenditures as agreed.

In consideration for its services, the agent received a cash commission of $450,000.49 and 4,264,711 non-transferable warrants. Each agent warrant entitles its holder to purchase one Class B share of the corporation at a price of 12 cents until Oct. 31, 2028. The agent warrants are subject to a hold period in Canada expiring four months and one day from the date hereof.

The offering was completed pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 (Prospectus Exemptions) as amended by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 (Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption). The charity FT units and units offered under the listed issuer financing exemption are not subject to resale restrictions pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws. The offering is subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Early warning

Nouredine Mokaddem, a director of the corporation, subscribed for 24,705,880 units under the offering, for an amount of $2,099,999.80, which resulted in an approximately 2.14-per-cent increase in his beneficial ownership on a partially diluted basis (assuming exercise of convertible securities held by Mr. Mokaddem).

Prior to the offering, Mr. Mokaddem beneficially owned or controlled 100 million Class B shares and 103.25 million options and warrants, representing approximately 9.86 per cent of the outstanding Class B shares on a non-diluted basis and 18.19 per cent on a partially diluted basis (assuming the exercise of such convertible securities).

As a result of the offering, Mr. Mokaddem beneficially owns or controls 124,705,880 Class B shares and 127,955,880 convertible securities, representing approximately 11.19 per cent of the outstanding Class B shares on a non-diluted basis and 20.33 per cent on a partially diluted basis (assuming the exercise of convertible securities).

Mr. Mokaddem acquired the units for investment purposes. He may in the future acquire additional securities of the corporation or sell securities of the corporation, including on the open market or through private transactions, depending on market conditions and other relevant factors.

The participation of Mr. Mokaddem, an insider of the corporation, in the offering is considered a related-party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions). The corporation relied on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of related-party participation in the offering as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction exceeds 25 per cent of the corporation's market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101). The corporation did not file a material change report in respect of this transaction at least 21 days before the anticipated closing of the offering as details of such transaction were unknown at such time.
