With infrastructure now prepared, new CEO Pascal Hamelin sees underground mining commencing imminently to generate profits funding expansions. The aim is to resuscitate the high-grade asset to become a cornerstone of growth.\nFully constructed mill circuits and existing underground access remove obstacles to near term production after years of instability. An extensive cleanup even recovered over $1 million of residual gold grading up to 60 grams per ton from the dormant equipment.\nHamelin estimates Sleeping Giant can achieve commercial scale of 750 tons per day within 18 months. But the initial phase starting now will ramp up cautiously from 1,000 tons a week. As mining progresses, cash flows will support cost-effective exploration of satellite deposits, extending mine life beyond the current 5-7 years.\nThis nimble “proof is in the pudding” approach relies on consistent execution, not bold projections. While Sleeping Giant lacks scale, its gold grades over 5 grams per ton insulate against inflation. By delivering within modest plans, Abcourt can organically augment resources and production to regain market confidence.\n—\nView Abcourt Mines' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/abcourt-mines-inc\nSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/1wv-MFlQAgnm-ca64e5kK4984dZB0os8-HJdRVsI74M/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzEzNTcyLzE2MjM5/NTQyMDctYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
