-- Aben Gold (ABM.V) outlined the scope of its 2026 exploration program at the 100%-owned Justin Gold Tungsten Project, located southeast Yukon in the "highly prospective" Tombstone Gold Belt, on Friday.
The Justin Gold Tungsten Project covers approximately 7,400 hectares, said the company.
The 2026 program is designed to advance the multi-metal (gold + tungsten) potential of the POW intrusion-related (IRGS) Zone, the high-grade Lost Ace orogenic-gold Zone, and other regional targets identified by the 2024 QMAGT airborne geophysical survey, said the company.
Field activities are scheduled to begin in mid-July and are expected to be completed by mid-September 2026, said the company, and added that the program will be staged out of Seabridge Gold's 3 Aces Camp, which is located immediately adjacent to the property and provides excellent logistical support and camp-specific infrastructure.
The 2026 diamond drilling program will consist of approximately 1,500 meters of drilling across three drill pads designed to test two of the project's "highest-priority targets," added the company. Approximately 1,000 meters will evaluate the gold-tungsten potential of the POW Zone, with an additional 500 meters planned at the high-grade Lost Ace Zone, it further added.
"We are excited to announce our fully contracted 2026 program at Justin," said Riley Trimble, President and Chief Executive Officer of Aben Gold Corp. "Staging out of the 3 Aces Camp and working with proven contractors that have Yukon experience will allow us to execute efficiently. This campaign is a major step in unlocking the gold and tungsten potential of the project, and we look forward to delivering results to shareholders this fall."
