Aben Gold Completes 2026 Drill Program at Justin Gold-Tungsten Project
Aben concludes its Justin drill program while assays remain pending as the stock consolidates near support levels.
Aben Gold Corp. has completed its 2026 diamond drill program at the 100%-owned Justin Gold-Tungsten Project in southeastern Yukon. The company drilled 1,390.9 metres across eight holes over 36 operating days, exceeding the original plan of 1,300 metres in six holes.
Drilling targeted two priority areas: the POW Zone, a gold-tungsten system, and the Lost Ace target, which features high-grade gold. Field observations noted massive sulphides and ultraviolet indications of scheelite (WO3) in the POW Zone core. Samples have been shipped to Bureau Veritas and Actlabs. The first three holes (JN26-001, 002, and 003) have been submitted for analysis, with results to be released as they are received.
The release also notes the engagement of Independent Trading Group (ITG) as a market-maker for its common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange to improve liquidity.
Aben Gold Corp. (ABM) has completed its drill program, a fully expected operational milestone that aligns with the company's previously announced 2026 exploration plan. While the company exceeded its planned drilling metres, this positive operational execution detail does not constitute a material catalyst without assay results.
The stock has traded in a $0.17 to $0.25 range since August, pricing in the drilling activity. The lack of assay data in this release means the market impact is neutral. Additionally, the market-maker engagement serves as a minor administrative update aimed at improving share liquidity and does not alter the fundamental exploration thesis.
Aben Gold Corp. (ABM) is a TSX Venture-listed junior exploration company focused on precious metals. Its flagship asset is the Justin Gold-Tungsten Project, a 100%-owned property covering approximately 7,400 hectares in the Tintina Gold Belt of southeastern Yukon. The project is strategically located adjacent to Seabridge Gold's 3 Aces Project and approximately 35 km southwest of the past-producing Cantung tungsten mine.
Historical drilling highlights include the POW Zone, which returned 1.25 g/t Au over 60.0 m, including 2.47 g/t Au over 21.0 m and 2.52 g/t Au over 12.0 m. The Lost Ace Zone featured trench channel samples returning up to 88.2 g/t Au over 1.0 m. Recent geological reviews have highlighted coincident gold and tungsten (scheelite) mineralization, adding a critical mineral dimension to the project's value proposition.
