Abcourt intersects 3.7 g/t gold over 11 metres directly below the Cartwright stripping and publishes a summary of the 2025 drilling campaign on its Flordin property in the Lebel-Sur-Quévillon area

Abcourt Mines Inc. ("Abcourt" or the "Company") (TSX Venture : ABI) (OTCQB : ABMBF) is pleased to announce the latest assay results from its 2025 drilling campaign on its Flordin property in the Lebel-Sur-Quévillon area. Hole FL-25-284 intersected 3.7 gt gold over 11 metres including 11.0 gt gold over 2.4 metres. The high-grade gold mineralized zone was intercepted less than 3 metres from surface directly below the Cartwright stripping. Note that the easternmost hole of the stripping ( FL-25-277 : 1.4 gt gold over 13 metres ) confirms that the Adam and Horse mineralized zones continue well beyond this one and therefore remains open to the East. The same is true for the westernmost hole (FL-25-286 : 0.4 gt gold over 16 metres ), which also confirms that the mineralization is continuous and open in this direction.

The mineralization described in the Cartwright area consists mainly of gold-bearing pyrite band with silica-hematite without quartz vein. This type of characteristic high-grade gold mineralization has been described in the central area of the property (2023 drilling) and in the South Zone area, which is located almost 2 kilometres from the Cartwright Zone (see surface plan for general location). A comparative petrographic study is being conducted by Ms. Lucie Mathieu, Ph.D. of GEOX Consulting Inc. to describe the similarities and differences observed in the gold mineralization for the three sectors (Cartwright, Central Zone and South Zone). A geochemical study of the major elements is also being carried out, which will make it possible to identify the lithologies and alterations present in the various mineralized areas of the property.

The objectives of the 2025 drilling campaign on the Flordin property are:

Objective 1 : Confirm the continuity of gold mineralization directly below the Cartwright stripping completed in the fall of 2024. A total of nine (9) short holes for a total of 1227 metres were drilled in the Cartwright area. All the 2025 drillings carried out under stripping returned gold values over tens of metres in length. Hole FL-25-274 returned 3.5 g/t gold over 27.5 metres, including 12.1 g/t over 7.5 metres. Making this intersection one of the richest in gold in the project.

Objective 2 : Confirm the presence and continuity of the South Zone that was discovered in 1988 by Cambior. Demonstrate that the mineralization of the South Zone is similar/different to that observed and described in the Cartwright area. In all, four (4) deep holes for a total of 2403 metres were made. All 2025 drilling in this area returned gold values over tens of metres in length. Hole FL-25-282 returned 1.1 g/t gold over 47.2 metres, including 7.6 g/t gold over 3 metres .

The mineralization of the South Zone is like that described in the Cartwright area. In general, silicification seems to be more important for the South Zone. However, it should be noted that both zones are characterized by high-grade gold mineralization associated with bands of pyrite, silica and hematite. The gold mineralization is not associated with quartz veins but rather with pyrite-silica-hematite bands.

The table below provides a summary of all significant gold assay results obtained from the 2025 holes. It should be noted that all the holes drilled during this phase of work, i.e. 100% of the drill holes intercepted gold values.

Pascal Hamelin, President and Chief Executive Officer, comments: " The 2025 drilling campaign carried out on our Flordin project was a great success. All the drill holes drilled by our technical team returned gold values over tens of meters of thickness. This first phase of work will have identified a characteristic type of high-grade gold mineralization over a distance of at least 2 kilometres. The second phase of drilling will aim to link the various mineralized zones laterally. The Flordin project is advantageously located less than 20 kilometres North of the municipality of Lebel-Sur-Quévillon and less than 1.5 kilometres North of the Canadian National Transcontinental Railway."

Vertex Minerals Gets Efficiency Boost with Sensor-based Ore Sorting Tech

Ore processing at Vertex Minerals’ (ASX:VTX) Hill End gold project in New South Wales is getting a boost in efficiency and sustainability with the integration of Tomra Mining’s laser ore sorting technology, according to a report published by Mining Review Africa.

Integrating Tomra’s sensor-based sorting system allowed Vertex to more precisely separate ore from waste rock, thereby improving feed grade and reducing the volume of materials processed downstream, the report noted.

Canadian Wildfires Force Mining Sector to Retreat as Thousands Evacuate in Manitoba

Canadian wildfires are hitting Manitoba hard, triggering the evacuation of over 17,000 people in province.

“This is the largest evacuation Manitoba will have seen in most people’s living memory,” Premier Wab Kinew said in a May 28 statement. He declared a province-wide state of emergency and confirmed that Canadian military aircraft would be deployed "imminently" to assist with evacuations and firefighting efforts.

“For the first time, it’s not a fire in one region. We have fires in every region. That is a sign of a changing climate that we are going to have to adapt to," Kinew also noted in a press conference.

Equity Metals Initiates Drilling on the Arlington Gold Property, British Columbia

Equity Metals Initiates Drilling on the Arlington Gold Property, British Columbia

Equity Metals Corporation (TSXV: EQTY) ("Equity" or the "Company") reports that drilling has commenced on the Arlington property, southern British Columbia.

Up to 3,000 metres of drilling will target three separate clusters of strongly anomalous Au-Ag-As-in-soil anomalies in the south Fresh Pots area (Figure 1) that have been enhanced by geophysical features identified in a recently completed DCIP geophysical survey. Additional surface sampling and mapping towards further drill target definition is also planned for the north Fresh Pots, Rona and other target areas on the property and will include initial targeting on several new claims that were staked earlier this year. Work will continue through the month of June and into the early part of July.

Next Gold Powerhouse Emerges as Prices Break Records

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage

As gold surges to record highs above $3,000+ per ounce in May 2025 — outpacing the S&P 500, NASDAQ and even bitcoin —Wall Street's focus is shifting. With U.S. debt-to-GDP now exceeding 120% and real interest rates still historically negative, gold has reaffirmed its role as the market's most reliable hedge. But for institutional investors, bullion and ETFs aren't enough anymore. What they want now is leverage, scalability and cash flow. That's why the spotlight is turning toward a new class of near-term gold producers: companies with clean balance sheets, high internal rates of return (IRR) and operational models designed to scale and generate recurring revenue — companies like ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) ( Profile ) . With central banks buying more gold than ever and financial markets hungry for sustainable exposure to the yellow metal, the next wave of institutional capital is hunting for precisely the kind of scalable, cash-flow-driven opportunity that ESGold offers. With its focus on offering investors a viable pathway to include gold in their portfolios, ESGold joins an elite group of companies — including BHP Group Limited (NYSE: BHP), Barrick Mining Corporation (NYSE: B) (TSX: ABX), Agnico Eagle Mines (NYSE: AEM) and Wheaton Precious Metals (NYSE: WPM) — that are committed to being leaders in the mining space.
