Abcourt Mines Inc. ("Abcourt" or the "Corporation") (TSX Venture: ABI) (OTCQB: ABMBF) is pleased to provide an update on development work carried out in last December at the Sleeping Giant Mine, located in the Eeyou Istchee region in the Province of Quebec.
Abcourt continued developing its stopes and hiring in December. The month was shortened by the holiday break. The ore processing plant was paused from December 22 to January 5. However, underground operations continued during this same period, filling the upstream circuit of the mill.
