Please see Abcourt’s news release dated January 30, 2026 for further details.Abcourt intends to use the proceeds from the Upsized Debenture to (i) repay a US$12,000,000 secured credit facility with Nebari Natural Resources Credit Fund II, LP, (ii) fund exploration work and capital expenditures at its Sleeping Giant and Flordin projects and (iii) provide additional working capital.Pascal Hamelin, President and CEO of Abcourt, commented: “This increased support from Glencore confirms the value of our assets and secures our growth trajectory. By converting short-term debt into long-term liabilities, we optimize our financial structure with a significantly lower interest rate and an extended amortization period. This increased financial flexibility immediately frees up essential capital to support the sustained pace of our development at the Sleeping Giant Mine. Accelerating this financing allows us to propel our exploration efforts and advance the development of our key projects: Sleeping Giant and Flordin. Abcourt now has a solid financial foundation to unlock the full value of its properties in Abitibi and generate sustainable returns for its shareholders.”In connection with the closing of the Upsized Debenture, the Corporation will issue 46,943,333 non-transferable warrants (the “Warrants”) to the Lender.
