ROUYN-NORANDA, Quebec, Dec. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —
Abcourt Mines Inc. (“Abcourt” or the
“Corporation”) (TSX Venture: ABI)
is pleased to announce that cleaning its Sleeping Giant Mill continues with the recovery of 1,662 ounces of gold since October 1, 2022.
Indeed, Abcourt mandated a firm specializing in gold mill cleanup in August 2022. This firm started cleaning the mill in September and continues the gold recovery process. Abcourt plans to continue cleaning for another several weeks until February 2023. Abcourt currently recovers the gold which has been trapped for decades in the circuit of the Sleeping Giant Mill. We recall that the mill began operations in 1988 and that more than 3,000,000 tonnes of ore at a grade greater than 10 g/t Au were processed between 1988 and 2014.
