Aben Gold Provides Drill Program Update at Justin Gold-Tungsten Project
Aben reports drill logs and UV glow at its project, confirming no assays or discovery has been made.
Aben Gold Corp. (ABM) issued an operational drilling update on August 30, 2026, reporting that it has completed 766 metres of its planned approximately 1,300-metre 2026 diamond drill program. The work was conducted over 21 operating days, averaging 35.0 metres per day. To date, 785 core samples have been collected.
Three holes are complete at the POW Zone and a fourth is underway: * JN26-001 completed August 13 at 265.3 metres; 341 samples cut and dispatched to Bureau Veritas on August 26. * JN26-002 completed August 21 at 207.35 metres; 227 samples collected and pending dispatch. * JN26-003 completed August 29 at 250.05 metres; 217 samples outlined; company seeking rush analysis. * JN26-004 is underway from pad 2 to follow up scheelite observed in JN26-003.
The release highlights visual massive sulphides and ultraviolet indications of WO3, specifically JN26-001 from 159.3 to 173 metres and JN26-003 at 140.30 metres.
Aben also engaged Independent Trading Group as market maker for C$6,500 per month, month-to-month.
Aben Gold Corp. (ABM) is a pre-resource micro-cap explorer with a market capitalization of approximately C$5.7 million based on its last reported share count. A flow-through placement scheduled for June 2026 is expected to increase the number of issued shares to roughly 35 million, implying a pro-forma market capitalization near C$7 million.
The recent release does not alter the interpreted scale, grade, or continuity of the Justin system, as it contains no assay data. The market had already adjusted its valuation earlier this year, with the stock rising from C$0.07 in September 2025 to C$0.25 by late January 2026 before trading in a broad range. Drilling that began in August briefly pushed the stock to C$0.25, but it has since faded to C$0.20 by August 31.
While the presence of visual massive sulphides and UV scheelite may generate short-term speculative interest, the news remains routine in the pre-assay phase.
