ABCOURT CLOSES PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF DEBENTURE AND EQUITY TO RESTART SLEEPING GIANT MINE

Abcourt Mines Inc. has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement of secured convertible debenture for gross proceeds of $3-million.

Debenture offering

The debenture will bear interest at the term SOFR (secured overnight financing rate) plus 10 per cent per annum and will mature four years following the date of issuance. The principal amount of the debenture is convertible into common shares of the corporation at a conversion price of five cents per share during the first year and at a conversion price of 10 cents per share during the following years at any time at the option of the holder. All interest accrued on the debenture will be payable in cash. The corporation may prepay the debenture at any time prior to the maturity date, without penalty.

The debenture was purchased by Francois Mestrallet, director of the corporation. As a result, the debenture offering is a related party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101, Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. See the corporation's news release dated June 18, 2025, for details of the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 that the corporation has relied upon.

Equity offering

The corporation also closed a tranche of its previously announced non-brokered equity financing for gross proceeds of $1,056,000, consisting of the sale of 21.12 million units of the corporation at a price of five cents per unit.

Each unit consists of one share of the corporation and one share purchase warrant. Each unit warrant entitles its holder to purchase one share at a price of eight cents until June 26, 2028, subject to acceleration of the expiry date in certain circumstances.

All securities issued in connection with the debenture offering and the private placement are subject to a restricted period under applicable securities laws, ending on the date that is four months plus one day following the date of their issuance.

Financing facility

The corporation is also pleased to report positive progress on its secured financing facility with Nebari Natural Resources Credit Fund II LP in an amount of $8-million (U.S.) for a 36-month period, previously announced on April 10, 2025, and June 18, 2025. Abcourt and Nebari have worked closely over the past weeks through a detailed due diligence process that investigated all aspects of the corporation and the Sleeping Giant mine project. They are currently in the process of finalizing the necessary documentation to close the financing facility.

The corporation intends to use the net proceeds from the debenture offering, the private placement and the financing facility to restart the Sleeping Giant mine and mill as well as for the repayment of outstanding account payables, working capital and general corporate purposes.

The debenture offering, private placement and financing facility remain subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
