Each Unit consists of one common share (a “Common Share”) and one-half of one share purchase warrant (the “Warrant”).

The Company anticipates closing a second tranche of the Offering in mid-September 2024. Completion of the second tranche of the Offering remains subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities issued and issuable under the first tranche of the Offering will be subject to a four (4) month and one day hold period. Securities issued under any subsequent tranche(s) will be subject to a four month and one day hold period calculated from their date of issuance.

In accordance with the policies of the TSXV, the Company is relying on a minimum price exception in order to issue securities at less than $0.05 per listed security. As such, the aggregate number of common shares issued by the Company at less than $0.05 in this offering and in the next 12-month period may not exceed 100% of the number of common shares which were issued and outstanding prior to the offering.

About Abacus

Abacus is a mineral exploration and mine development company currently focused on copper and gold in B.C. and Nevada. The Company’s main asset is a 20% ownership interest, together with KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. (80%), in the proposed copper-gold Ajax Mine located southwest of Kamloops, B.C., which has undergone a joint provincial and federal environmental assessment process. On December 14, 2017, a decision was made by the B.C. Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy and the Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources to decline to issue an environmental assessment certificate for the Project. KGHM maintains an office in Kamloops, B.C. to facilitate First Nation, community and governmental engagement in order to advance the project towards a potential resubmission of the environmental application. Abacus also owns a 100% interest in the Willow copper-gold property located near Yerington, Nevada, and it controls the contiguous Nev-Lorraine claims subject to a ten-year lease agreement.
