Exciting Developments at the Flordin Project
Abcourt Mines Inc. (TSX Venture: ABI) (OTCQB: ABMBF) has made significant strides at the Flordin Project recently, with new channel sampling revealing promising gold mineralization. The recent work included two new stripping projects, successfully extending the mineralized zone to over 650 meters in length while identifying several new zones that had not been previously explored.
The Stripping Campaign
One of the highlights of the campaign is Stripping 25-01, where mineralization was found parallel to the historic Adam, Horse, and Little Joe zones. This area is strategically located near the main access road, making it more accessible for future exploration. In Channel No. 1, samples indicated a gold grade of 1.4 g/t Au over 4.0 meters, suggesting that this new mineralized zone has promising potential. Importantly, the mineralization here is observed to be more silicified than previously recorded showings, indicating a distinct geological environment.
Understanding Stripping 25-02
Moving on to Stripping 25-02, located 650 meters west of the Cartwright area, the findings reaffirm the continuity of mineralization across a vast area. This section, which consists of the Horse and Adam zones, lays out over 700 meters of continuous mineralization—a significant achievement considering it hadn’t been previously explored until 2025. The data collected has shown thickening and thinning phenomena of the mineralized zones, further emphasizing the need for detailed examination.
Comprehensive Methodology Adopted
During this phase of exploration, Abcourt utilized sophisticated methodologies involving six channel samples, each about 10-15 meters long from Stripping 25-01, alongside two from Stripping 25-02. Each sample, spanning 0.5 meters, was taken with care to ensure accuracy, and was deeply integrated into the channeling system, intersecting the mineralized zones perpendicularly.
Detailed Sample Analysis
The structure of these zones—strategically oriented east-west with a sub-vertical dip—alongside the significant shear associated with the mineralization, showcases the complexity and potential richness of the area. With the aid of the Photon Assay™ method at the MSALABS laboratory in Val-d'Or, Quebec, the results reflect the depth and integrity of each sample analyzed.
Promising Results Unveiled
The results have been quite encouraging, showcasing several notable gold intercepts as observed in the sampling:
- Channel 25-01: 1.4 g/t gold over 4.0 metres
- Channel 25-02: 9.5 g/t gold over 7.0 metres, including 112.7 g/t over 0.5 meters
- Channel 25-04: 0.8 g/t gold over 1.5 metres
- Channel 25-01 at Stripping 25-02: 0.3 g/t over 7.0 metres
- Channel 25-02 at Stripping 25-01: 0.5 g/t over 2.0 metres
Future Directions and Engagement
As Abcourt moves forward, it has exciting plans to participate in the MUNICH MINING CONFERENCE on October 3 and 4. This event will serve as a platform for showcasing their recent findings to international investors and further emphasizing their strategic objectives.
