Aben Gold Corp. Closes $1.3 Million Private Placement of Flow-Through Units

Aben secured $1.3m in flow-through capital to fund drilling at its Yukon project, despite near-term risks from dilution and cash burn.

Executive Summary
  • Aben Gold Corp. closed a non-brokered private placement on June 19, 2026, raising CAD $1,334,000 in gross proceeds.
  • The company issued 6,670,000 flow-through units at CAD $0.20 per unit.
  • Each unit comprises one flow-through common share and one-half of a transferable warrant exercisable at CAD $0.30 per share for a two-year term.
  • Proceeds are designated to fund exploration and an upcoming 1,500-metre diamond drilling program at the Justin Gold Tungsten Project in the Yukon Territory.
  • Flow-through tax expenditures will be renounced to subscribers by December 31, 2026, with expenditures to be incurred by December 31, 2027.
  • The placement includes related-party participation and standard finder's compensation ($50,750 cash plus 253,750 non-transferable finder's warrants).
  • This transaction fulfills the previously announced June 2, 2026 capital raising plan and provides immediate liquidity for the permitted summer field program.
Material Impact
  • The financing is a routine follow-up to the June 2 announcement and aligns with the company's communicated need to fund the 2026 exploration program.
  • The $0.20 per unit pricing is slightly above the recent trading range of $0.17–$0.19, indicating modest but stable investor appetite despite broader market volatility.
  • The issuance introduces significant dilution: 6.67 million new shares and 3.335 million warrants represent approximately 23.6% dilution on the existing 28.3 million share base.
  • While the capital is necessary to advance the Justin project, the recurring nature of these financings (following a $400,000 raise in January and the Kingfisher option structure) underscores the company's reliance on continuous equity markets to survive.
  • The news is positive in that it secures funding for the permitted drill program, but it is not market-moving given it was anticipated and priced at a premium to recent lows.

Company Overview
  • Company: Aben Gold Corp. is a TSX Venture-listed junior explorer focused on gold and tungsten.
  • Flagship Project: The Justin Gold Tungsten Project is a 7,400-hectare, 100%-owned property in the Tintina Gold Belt of southeastern Yukon, adjacent to Seabridge Gold’s 3 Aces Project.
  • Geology & Targets: The project features multiple zones, primarily the POW Zone (gold and tungsten) and the Lost Ace Zone (high-grade gold). Historical drilling has returned significant intercepts, including 60.00m @ 1.25 g/t Au and 8.50m @ 0.39% WO3 coincident with 5.60m @ 4.12 g/t Au.
  • Regulatory Status: The company recently secured a Class 3 Quartz mining land-use approval (valid until May 2031), permitting 1,500 metres of diamond drilling, trenching, and geophysical surveys for the 2026 field season.
  • Strategic Shift: Management has divested non-core assets (Slocan Graphite, Pringle North) and monetized the Forrest Kerr Project via a three-year option agreement with Kingfisher Metals, sharpening its focus on Yukon gold exploration.
