Aben Gold Provides Update on 2026 Drill Program at the Justin Gold-Tungsten Project
Aben advances its fully permitted Yukon gold-tungsten drill program ahead of expected fall results.
Aben Gold Corp. has issued a logistical and operational update regarding its fully funded 2026 exploration program at the 100%-owned Justin Gold-Tungsten Project in southeastern Yukon. The company has secured key contractors to handle camp refurbishment, geological support, helicopter transport, drill pad construction, and diamond drilling.
Field activities are scheduled to commence in August 2026, with drilling expected to begin on August 9th. The program targets 1,300 meters of diamond drilling across six holes, focusing on the POW Zone to test gold-tungsten continuity and the Lost Ace Zone to test high-grade orogenic gold structures. The project holds a fully permitted five-year Class 3 Quartz Program designation, which removes immediate regulatory hurdles for the summer campaign.
Aben Gold Corp. (ABM) has confirmed contractor mobilization and a firm start date for its drilling program in August, marking an expected incremental follow-up to the May 2026 announcements regarding the 2026 drill program and Class 3 permitting. This development validates management's execution timeline and reinforces the company's operational readiness. The news does not introduce new financial data, unexpected strategic shifts, or material changes to the project's risk profile.
Aben Gold Corp. (ABM) is a TSX Venture-listed junior explorer focused exclusively on gold and tungsten assets in Canada. Its flagship asset is the Justin Gold-Tungsten Project, a 7,400-hectare (18,314-acre) 100%-owned property located in the Tintina Gold Belt of southeastern Yukon. The property sits approximately 25 km southwest of the historic Cantung tungsten mine and adjacent to Seabridge Gold's 3 Aces project.
The property features multiple zones, including POW, Confluence, Main, Kangas, and Lost Ace, with historical drilling totaling 4,972 meters across 21 holes. Historical highlights from the POW Zone include intervals such as 60.0m @ 1.25 g/t Au and 8.50m @ 0.39% WO3. The Lost Ace Zone has shown trench channel samples up to 88.2 g/t Au over 1.0m.
The company is currently in the exploration phase, with no current resources or reserves declared. Aben Gold is in the pre-feasibility/exploration phase, relying on drilling to expand known mineralization.
