VANCOUVER July 9, 2007 Abacus Mining and Exploration Corp. ("Abacus") (AME-TSX.V) announces that the non-brokered portion of the private placement announced on May 7, 2007 and amended on May 15, 2007, has now closed. Abacus issued 443,700 Units at a price of $0.70 and 595,750 Flow-Through Units at a price of $0.80 per Flow-Through Unit to raise gross proceeds of $787,190.

Each Unit consists of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each Flow-Through Unit consists of one common share issued on a flow-through basis and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share until January 3, 2009 at a price of $1.25 per share. 

Finders were paid a cash commission of $7,000 and were issued 31,059 Units and 56,870 Compensation Options. Each Compensation Option will entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share until January 3, 2009 at a price of $0.85 per share. Proceeds from the private placement financing will be used to finance further exploration on the Afton Project and for general working capital. The flow-through funds raised from the offering will be used for general exploration expenditures, which will constitute Canadian exploration expenses (as defined in the Canada Income Tax Act) and will be renounced for the 2007 income tax year.

All of the securities issued have a hold period expiring November 4, 2007.
