The Directors of Abacus Mining and Exploration Corp. ("Abacus") are pleased to announce they have retained the services of Mr. Roman Friedrich of Roman Friedrich & Company of Vancouver, British Columbia. Roman Friedrich & Company has specialized in the provision of financial advisory and strategic services to corporations in the resource sector, since 1997.

Roman Friedrich & Company was retained by Abacus in 2005 and was instrumental in finalizing the negotiations with Teck Cominco on the asset purchase of the mining and milling facilities at our Afton project. With the Afton project advancing quickly and a 43-101 resource on the Ajax deposit expected shortly, the company feels that Roman will be a huge asset in moving forward with this project.

On Behalf of the Board,
ABACUS MINING & EXPLORATION CORPORATION

Doug Fulcher,
President
