Mr. Jim Pettit reports
ABEN RESOURCES ANNOUNCES THE COMPLETION OF AN AIRBORNE MAGNETIC SURVEY AT THE FORREST KERR GOLD PROJECT IN BC’S GOLDEN TRIANGLE REGION
Further to its news release on May 23, 2019, Aben Resources Ltd. has completed a 173-line-kilometre airborne magnetic survey that covered the entire Boundary zone, located in the central portion of the Forrest Kerr property. The Boundary Zone has been the main focus of exploration by Aben Resources since 2016. The 2 km by 5 km survey encompassed a large package of gold-bearing rocks from the Hazelton Group, a lithology that hosts several polymetallic mineral deposits in the region. It is expected that the airborne magnetic survey will effectively delineate subsurface geologic structures that are intimately associated to the high-grade gold mineralization previously discovered at the Boundary Zone. Preliminary results from the survey have been received with final deliverables expected well in advance of the onset of drilling in late June.
JUSTIN PROJECT
Aben would also like to announce that field crews have now opened up the camp at the 100% owned 7,400-hectare Justin Gold Project in the Yukon in anticipation of the arrival of the Diamond and Rotary Air Blast (RAB) drills in the upcoming days. The 2019 exploration program at Justin will entail 1350 meters of diamond drilling and 600 meters of Rotary Air Blast drilling (“RAB”), along with prospect generating field work. This program should take 3-4 weeks to complete which will coincide with the commencement of drilling at the Forrest Kerr Project.
