	Abacus Announces $600,000 Financing
	Vancouver, BC – July 22, 2020. Abacus Mining & Exploration Corporation (“Abacus” or the
	“Company”) (TSXV: AME) is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement
	(“Offering”) for proceeds of up to $600,000 through the issuance of 6,000,000 units ("Units") at
	a price of $0.10 per Unit. Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company and
	one half of a non-transferable common share purchase warrant, with each warrant exercisable
	to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $0.15 per common share for a
	period of 2 years from the date of closing of the financing.
	Proceeds from the financing will be applied towards a program of geophysics and drilling at the
	Company's Jersey Valley gold property in Nevada as well as for general working capital.
	Recent reinterpretation of historic geophysics at Jersey Valley has demonstrated the existence
	of compelling, open along strike, untested targets, which led to an approximate doubling of the
	staked claim group.
	Jersey Valley is prospective for both intrusion-related sediment hosted, and for epithermal
	precious metal mineralization. The property is located within north-central Nevada within the
	Battle Mountain trend, in close proximity to both the Phoenix/Fortitude mine complex
	(approximately 14 Moz gold plus significant Ag and Cu past production and a proposed mine
	life to 2063) and the Cove/McCoy Mine: 3.4 Moz gold and 110 Moz Ag past production. (Past
	production data is from the Newmont Mines and Premier Gold Mines websites. The reader is
	cautioned that the mineralization hosted on nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of
	mineralization hosted on the Company’s Jersey Valley gold property). The Jersey Valley
	property has a well-maintained sealed road running through it, which provides access to a 15
	MW geothermal power plant located on the edge of the claim group.
	The Company also holds options and leases on the Willow and adjacent Nev-Lorraine copper-
	molybdenum properties in Nevada, and a carried interest in the advanced Ajax copper-gold
	development project in B.C.
	The Willow and adjacent Nev-Lorraine copper-molybdenum properties are in the Yerington
	copper camp, southeast of Reno, Nevada. Drilling by the Company in 2018 intersected a key
	intrusive rock unit on Willow that hosts all known porphyry Cu-Mo deposits at Yerington. This
	rock unit was not previously known to exist on the Company’s property, and it represents a key
	new discovery. The target is large and robust, and it remains essentially untested.
	The Company also continues to advance its Ajax copper-gold project, located near Kamloops,
	British Columbia. Abacus holds a 20% ownership interest in the project, which is managed by
	base metal major KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., who hold the remaining 80%. The Ajax Project
	contains significant quantities of copper and gold, within a NI 43-101 Proven and Probable
	Mineral Reserve of 426 Mt at 0.29% Cu, 0.19 g/t Au and 0.39 g/t Ag. Contained metal is in the
	order of 2.7 Bil lbs Cu, 2.6 Moz Au and 5.3 Moz Ag*. KGHM have begun the process of re-
	engaging the project stakeholders geared toward potentially resubmitting the environmental
	application for the project.

The financing is subject to TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV) approval.	In connection with the
offering, certain finders may receive a cash fee and/or non-transferable finder warrants.		All
securities issued will be subject to a four month hold period under Canadian securities law.
The Offering is being offered to existing shareholders of Abacus who are permitted to subscribe
pursuant to British Columbia Instrument 45-534 – Exemption from Prospectus Requirement for
Certain Trades to Existing Security Holders (the “Existing Shareholder Exemption”), as well as
under other available prospectus exemptions. Any existing shareholders interested in
participating in the Offering under the Existing Shareholder Exemption should contact the
Company at the contact information set out below in order to determine whether they are

amount of $600,000, Units will be allocated pro rata among all subscribers qualifying under all
available exemptions.
