NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.

Abcourt Mines Inc. ("Abcourt" or the "Corporation") (TSX-V: ABI) (OTCQB: ABMBF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding term sheet with Glencore AG (the "Lender") that will, once the transaction is completed, increase the aggregate principal amount of the senior secured debenture announced on January 30, 2026 from US$30,000,000 to US$40,000,000 (the "Upsized Debenture").

A first tranche of US$18,125,000 was made available to Abcourt on January 30, 2026. Under the Upsized Debenture, the second tranche has been increased from US$11,875,000 to US$21,875,000 and its disbursement date has been accelerated from December 2026 or January 2027 to on or about August 12, 2026.

No other material changes are proposed to the original senior secured debenture. Please see Abcourt's news release dated January 30, 2026 for further details.

Abcourt intends to use the proceeds from the Upsized Debenture to (i) repay a US$12,000,000 secured credit facility with Nebari Natural Resources Credit Fund II, LP, (ii) fund exploration work and capital expenditures at its Sleeping Giant and Flordin projects and (iii) provide additional working capital.

Pascal Hamelin, President and CEO of Abcourt, commented: "This increased support from Glencore confirms the value of our assets and secures our growth trajectory. By converting short-term debt into long-term liabilities, we optimize our financial structure with a significantly lower interest rate and an extended amortization period. This increased financial flexibility immediately frees up essential capital to support the sustained pace of our development at the Sleeping Giant Mine. Accelerating this financing allows us to propel our exploration efforts and advance the development of our key projects: Sleeping Giant and Flordin. Abcourt now has a solid financial foundation to unlock the full value of its properties in Abitibi and generate sustainable returns for its shareholders."

In connection with the closing of the Upsized Debenture, the Corporation will issue 46,943,333 non-transferable warrants (the "Warrants") to the Lender. Each Warrant will be exercisable for one common share of the Corporation (a "Warrant Share") at an exercise price of C$0.12 per Warrant Share.

The Upsized Debenture and the issuance of the Warrants are subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"). The Lender is at arm's length to the Corporation.

The Warrants (and the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise thereof) will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day under applicable securities laws. These securities have not been, nor will they be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act, or any state securities law, and may not be offered, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly, within the United States, or to or for the account or benefit of U.S. persons, absent registration or an exemption from such registration requirements.
