Rouyn-Noranda, Québec – TheNewswire - Canada, April 16th, 2020

 

Abcourt Mines Inc. (TSXV:ABI) (Berlin: AML-BE and Frankfurt Stock Exchanges: AML-FF) (“Abcourt” or the Mines Abcourt inc.) is pleased to announce the re-start of mining activities at the Elder mine following the addition of mines by the Quebec government to the priority list of services. The Sleeping Giant mill will be re-opened early next week.

 

We have prepared a management plan for sanitary measures according to the interim recommendations of prevention measures concerning the exploitation of mines by the National Institute of public health.

 

Following a first call-back to work, 75% of miners came in yesterday. We believe that those absent will come when they learn that the mine is open and that all sanitary recommendations are respected.

 

The re-start of mining operations will enable us to profit from the important increase in the price of gold in recent weeks
