Note 1: The intercepts above are not necessarily representative of the true width of mineralization. The local interpretation indicates core length corresponding to
75 to 80% of the mineralized lens’ true width.

Note 2: Copper equivalent values calculated using metal prices of $4.00/lb Cu, $1.50/lb Zn, $20.00/ounce Ag and $1,800/ounce Au. Metal recoveries of 100% are applied in the copper equivalent calculation.

Note 3: Intervals were calculated using a cut off grade of 0.1% Cu Eq, which represents the visual limit of the mineralized system.

Note 4: No significant values in 1274-24-298.

Note 5: This captures assays received to date and additional results still outstanding including overlimit testing. The complete intervals for 1274-24-335 will be reported in the next results release.

Drillhole 1274-24-297 was designed to test the up-dip structure closer to the surface of historical hole 1274-14-193, which intercepted 1.65% CuEq over 12.8 metres ending at a depth of 200.5 metres. The hole successfully expanded the silver-zinc zone under the bedrock contact, 50 metres updip from hole 1274-14-193. The interval of 1.47% Zn and 19.22 g/t Ag represents an estimated true thickness of 30 metres. The following copper zone expands about 25 metres closer to the surface with grade varying from 0.1% to above 4% Cu over metric intervals. Overall, two intervals can be calculated of 0.45% and 0.44% CuEq respectively over 23.4 metres and 8.55 metres. The mineralized structure, identified by a sericite-chlorite rich composition, was cut from a vertical depth of 55 to 110 metres.

Drillhole 1274-24-298 crossed over 60 metres a clay rich host rock with evidence of dissolved chalcopyrite, traces of copper sulfates originating from a weathering process.

Drillhole 1274-24-299 was designed to test the up-dip extension closer to the surface of the copper-bearing structure intercepted in historical hole 1274-14-197, which graded 1.22% Cu over 19.5 metres. A succession of sub-concordant chalcopyrite stringers, dissemination halos and chalcopyrite-bearing quartz veins were observed from 30 to 107.9 metres. The best interval of 1.05% CuEq over 10.4 meters started at 33 metres just under the bedrock contact.

Drillholes 1274-24-300 and 1274-24-301 were planned to infill a central cluster of chalcopyrite stringer and quartz veining cross-cutting historical down dip holes 1274-16-238 and 1274-16-240. The two holes are separated laterally by about 150 metres. The best interval from #301 (1.47 % CuEq over 97.5 metres) started under the bedrock contact from 30.5 to 128 metres downhole, representing an estimated true thickness near the core length of 97.5 metres. #301 intercepted a shorter higher-grade interval of 5.35% CuEq over 8.1 metres from 251.45 to 259.6 metres, which also contained 1.1 g/t Au. The mineralization was intercepted about 12 metres above historical hole B26-03M, which returned 8.1% CuEq over 5.3 metres with a 4.0 g/t gold component.

Drillholes 1274-24-335 and 1274-24-334 were designed to test the continuity of a potential satellite zone 500 metres to the west of the main deposit. Drill hole 1274-24-335 highlighted indications of a strong VMS system with local sphalerite bands and stringers with accessory chalcopyrite hosted in chert tuff. The best interval obtained from #335 with 1.05% CuEq over 8.6 metres followed by lower-grade mineralized intervals of 0.49% CuEq and 0.82% CuEq over 7.55 metres and 6.4 metres, respectively. The disseminated chalcopyrite mineralization hosted in a tuffaceous sequence extends down to 310 metres along the hole.

The core logging program is run by Explo-Logik in Val d’Or. The drill core was split with half sent to AGAT Laboratories and prepared in Val d’Or, QC. All samples are processed by fire assays on 50gr with Atomic Absorption finish and by “four acids digestion” with ICP-OES finish respectively for gold and base metals. Samples returning a gold grade above 3 g/t are reprocessed by metallic screening with a cut at 106 µm. Material treated is split and assayed by fire assay with ICP OES finish to extinction. A separate split is taken to assay separately mineralized intervals with target grades above 0.5% Cu using Na2O2 fusion and ICP-OES or ICP-MS finish.

Samples preparation duplicates, varied standards, and blanks are inserted into the sample stream.

In the 2018 resource estimate, SGS recommended the QAQC protocol to explain the replicability for the four metals (Au-Cu-Ag-Zn). The Company has set up for this program a series of assaying protocols with the objective to control QAQC issues from the beginning of the project. As a result, samples are crushed finer with 95% of particles passing 1.7 mm and a large split of 1 kg is pulverized down to 106 µm (150 mesh). Other measures put in place include the automatic re-assaying of gold results above 3 g/t by metallic screening and the use of sodium peroxide fusion in mineralized intervals interval corresponding to a target grade above 0.5% Cu.

Note 2: Copper Equivalent values were calculated using metal prices of $4.00/lb Cu, $1.50/lb Zn, $20.00/ounce Ag and $1,800/ounce Au. Metal recoveries of 100% are applied in the copper equivalent calculation. The application of a copper equivalent is a comparison measure used to level variable metal ratios. Results are not related to the recoveries and by virtue of the value of a mining production.

Forward-looking statement:

This news release contains certain statements, which may constitute “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Forward-looking information involves statements that are not based on historical information but rather relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments on the B26 Project or otherwise. Forward-looking information is necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions, which are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company’s control and many of which, regarding future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on the Company’s behalf. Although Abitibi has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. All factors should be considered carefully, and readers should not place undue reliance on Abitibi’s forward-looking information. Generally, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “expects,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” or variations of such words and phrases (including negative and grammatical variations) or statements that certain actions, events or results “may,” “could,” “might” or “occur. Mineral exploration and development are highly speculative and are characterized by a number of significant inherent risks, which may result in the inability of the Company to successfully develop current or proposed projects for commercial, technical, political, regulatory or financial reasons, or if successfully developed, may not remain economically viable for their mine life owing to any of the foregoing reasons, among others. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving commercial mineral production and the likelihood of success must be considered in light of the stage of operations.
