ABI Abcourt Mines Inc

Mr. Renaud Hinse, President and Chief Executive Officer of Abcourt Mines Inc.
(TSX VENTURE:ABI)(BERLIN:AML)(FRANKFURT:AML) (the "Company") is pleased to
provide information on the progress made in mine development at the Elder gold
mine in North-Western Quebec, Canada. As the mine is not officially in
production, the value of gold and silver produced as stated on page 19 of our
December 31, 2013 financial statements is applied against the cost of the
project.


On page 6 of these Financial Statements, under the title "Investing activities",
you can see that the acquisition of deferred evaluation and exploration assets
amounted to $4,881,175; the acquisition of fixed assets totaled $250,506 and the
proceeds from the sale of gold and silver was $4,955,613. The net cost of the
investment was only $145,371. During this period, financing activities with two
private placements amounted to $1,170,275.


Mine development started in May 2013 and the treatment of gold mineralization at
the Aurbec mill began on October 2, 2013. During the May-December period and the
January - March quarter, results were as follows:
