Abcourt Announces its Results for the Fourth Quarter and the Year ended June 30, 2022

Rouyn-Noranda, Canada, October 27, 2022 – Abcourt Mines Inc. (“Abcourt” or the “Company”) (TSX Venture: ABI) announces its results for the fourth quarter and the year ended June 30, 2022, representing a net loss of $27.9 M following the reduction in production at the Elder Mine and the devaluation in the book value of $23.8M from mining properties.

 

On May 9, 2022, the Company announced the cessation of operations at the Elder mine for August 1st 2022.  Indeed, for several quarters, mining at the Elder mine had been becoming less and less profitable. The financial results announced today clearly demonstrate this.

 

As of June 30, 2022, the Company determined that the significant losses generated by the extraction of ore at the Elder mine as well as the depletion of the reserves constituted facts and circumstances indicating an impairment of these assets and concluded that a devaluation was necessary for the assets associated with the Elder mine. In addition, a change in the strategic orientations of the Company led to a reassessment of the book values of our mining properties and required the devaluation of many projects such as Aldermac and Abcourt-Barvue.

 

Since May 9, Abcourt has been working on the development of the Sleeping Giant mine, and the improvement of the Company’s financial balance sheet. All amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.
