Abcourt Announces Option Agreement with Quebec Pegmatite for Portions of its Courville and Abcourt Barvue Projects
17 Juin 2024 - 7:00PM
Abcourt Mines Inc. (“Abcourt” or the “Corporation”) (TSX
Venture : ABI) is pleased to announce that it has entered
into an option agreement (the "
Agreement")
with Québec Pegmatite Holdings Corp. ("
QPC")
whereby Abcourt has granted QPC the right to acquire a 100%
interest (the "
Option") in 141 mining claims
covering approximately 5,579 hectares located in the province of
Québec, Canada, (collectively, the "
Property").
The Property includes portions of the Courville and Abcourt Barvue
projects, namely the Jolin (Courville) and Bartec (Abcourt-Barvue)
sectors.
These mining claims are adjacent and contiguous
to the Swanson property. This strategic agreement between the two
companies will create synergy and impactful exploration work in the
northern sector of our Courville property. Abcourt has not
conducted any exploration work in this portion of the Courville
property; the majority of the budgets being allocated to the
development and implementation of various bulk samplings carried
out on the Thibodeau (14,000 tonnes) and Pershing-Manitou (7,000
tonnes) gold deposits. The Abcourt-Barvue zinc-silver
deposit is excluded from this agreement. The Bartec sector in this
agreement is located at the eastern end of the Abcourt-Barvue
property.
In accordance with the terms of the Agreement,
QPC shall:
(a) pay an amount of
$500,000 in cash to Abcourt within 10 days following the execution
of the Agreement (the "Effective Date") to acquire
a 25% interest in the Property;
(b) pay an additional
amount of $500,000 in cash no later than 6 months following the
Effective Date to acquire a cumulative 50% interest in the
Property;
(c) pay an additional
amount of $500,000 in cash no later than 18 months following the
Effective Date to acquire a cumulative 75% interest in the
Property; and
(d) pay an additional
amount of $500,000 in cash no later than 24 months following the
Effective Date to acquire a cumulative 100% interest in the
Property.
QPC may, under certain conditions, make the
payments referred to in (b), (c), and (d) above by issuing common
shares of QPC ("shares") at a deemed price per
share equal to the volume-weighted average trading price of the
shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange for the 10 trading days
prior to the applicable payment date.
Following the exercise of the Option, Abcourt
will retain a 2% NSR royalty applicable to certain mining claims
constituting the Property, and QPC will assume Abcourt's
obligations regarding certain royalties currently in force on the
Property.
Pascal Hamelin, President and CEO of the
Corporation, comments: "We are pleased to conclude a
strategic option agreement on portions of our projects that have
been less worked and developed. We believe that the union of our
two companies through this option agreement will accelerate the
development of this high-potential sector by unifying the Swanson
and Jolin deposits into a single property.”
