Executive Summary

Abcourt Mines reported drilling results on its Flordin property, intersecting 1.7 g/t gold over 12 metres including 15.2 g/t gold over 1 metre in the eastern extension of the Cartwright stripping.
The company completed 11 holes totaling 2,960 metres in this phase, bringing the 2026 drilling campaign total to 3,900 metres out of a planned 20,000 metres.
Future drilling will shift west of the Cartwright stripping to link mineralized zones in the South Zone area.
Management confirmed continuity of mineralized zones east of the Cartwright Trench to the boundary with the Kinebik property.
The company expects to maintain a drilling rate of no less than 2,000 metres per month using one drill rig.

Material Impact

The news is positive but incremental relative to the major corporate actions already announced in early 2026 (Glencore financing and NCIB).
Exploration results on Flordin validate the geological model established by previous stripping campaigns (e.g., 112.7 g/t Au intercepts reported earlier) but do not immediately alter production timelines at Sleeping Giant.
The Glencore senior secured facility ($30M) and offtake agreement remain the primary value drivers, providing liquidity and revenue predictability that outweighs exploration updates in the short term.
Share buyback program (NCIB) approved April 2, 2026, signals management confidence but is funded from existing cash; execution will be monitored for actual repurchase volume.
No material change to debt structure or equity dilution is introduced by this specific drilling release, though warrants issued to Glencore remain outstanding.
