Aben Resources Ltd.
(TSX-V: ABN) (OTCQB: ABNAF)
(Frankfurt: E2L2)
(“Aben” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its
Justin Gold Project, Slocan Graphite Project and Pringle North Gold
Project.
Justin Gold Project Update:
On February 8th, 2022 Aben announced it had
filed an NI 43-101 compliant Technical Report pertaining to the
100% owned 7,400 hectare Justin Gold Project in the Yukon. Since
that date the Company has been in discussion with multiple
potential partners regarding option deals to secure future
exploration on the property. The permit application for the rights
to explore the property is currently in the review stage with the
Yukon Environmental and Socio-Economic Assessment Board
(“YESAB”).
“We’ve just finished an NI 43-101 technical
report that’s been filed on Sedar. The report is a beneficial asset
and provides context to our historical work on the Justin Gold
Project.,” commented Jim Pettit, Chairman and CEO of Aben, “This
will enable potential interested parties to review previous work
done on the property and provide data for future programs.”
The Justin Property is host to rocks that have
undergone multi-phase hydrothermal alteration that has produced two
distinct mineralizing systems. Drilling has shown that precious
metal mineralization on the Property is part of an Intrusion
Related Gold System (IRGS) featuring multiple mineralization styles
including sheeted vein arrays, vein breccias, stockwork veining,
fault-controlled mineralization, and skarn-hosted gold horizons.
Drilling at the POW Zone has returned intercepts ranging from trace
values to highs of 1.19 g/t Au over 60.0 m
(including 2.47 g/t Au over 21.0 m) and 1.49 g/t Au
over 46.4 m. The POW Zone, along with the
Confluence, Main, Kangas and POW West Zones, are potential hosts to
bulk-tonnage gold mineralization and higher-grade skarn
mineralization. The Lost Ace Zone, located 2 kilometers from the
POW Zone, is host to high-grade near-surface mesothermal
gold-arsenopyrite bearing quartz veins interpreted to be part of an
Orogenic Gold System. Trenching in 2018 returned values ranging
from trace to 20.8 g/t gold over 4.4
meters including 88.2 g/t gold (Au)
over 1.0 m at the Lost Ace Zone.
Justin Property NI 43-101 Technical
Reporthttps://abenresources.com/site/assets/files/3822/justin_technical_report.pdf
The Orogenic-style mineralization discovered at
Lost Ace is interpreted to share many characteristics with the
orogenic veins discovered at Seabridge Gold’s adjacent 3 Aces
project. Exploration at 3 Aces has shown the regionally extensive
stratigraphic contact in the middle Yusezyu Formation contains
consistently highly anomalous gold values. The discovery of gold
mineralization in the upper Yusezyu Formation at Lost Ace suggests
newly discovered orogenic gold mineralization could occur over a
significant stratigraphic extent between the upper and middle
Yusezyu Formation on the Justin Property. In addition, the
previously discovered intrusion related gold mineralization at the
POW Zone would have intruded through the prospective stratigraphy
which hosts the older orogenic mineralization in the district,
potentially enhancing grades in the intrusion related gold
system.
Pringle North Gold Project
Update:
The Red Lake, Ontario area has been subject to a
particularly harsh winter delaying early exploration activities on
the Pringle North property. Once the weather allows, Aben’s
technical team will begin grass-roots exploration activities that
will inform later expansive programs.
The Pringle North Property consists of 5
contiguous mining claims covering approximately 1,881 hectares and
is located 55 kilometers north of the prolific Red Lake Gold Camp.
The Property straddles the interpreted northern extension of the
deep-seated geologic structures that host several gold deposits
within the Red Lake Gold Camp.
Pringle North Property

The deep-seated extensional feature was
identified by seismic reflection surveys and has been described by
the Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines as similar
in nature and significance to the structures that host the Red Lake
Gold Belt. Aben Resources has been compiling and interpreting
regional and property-scale geologic and geophysical data in
advance of a comprehensive field exploration program in 2022. The
Property has seen very little ground exploration and is
structurally complex with strong evidence of wide-spread shearing,
folding and faulting. These structural controls provided fluid
pathways that can trap gold mineralizing fluids in potentially
economic concentrations.

In addition to the full spectrum of structural
controls present on the Property, Pringle North is host to several
surface samples that tested at or above the 95th percentile from an
overburden sampling program by Agnico Eagle in 2009. A
substantial belt of mafic to ultramafic rocks that parallel the
Nungesser Deformation Zone (NDZ) have been mapped on the property.
Age determination by Sanborn et al, 2004, dates this
volcanic-sedimentary belt at 2.94 billion years old and assigns it
to the Balmer Assemblage, which is host to the gold mines in the
Red Lake Camp.

Slocan Graphite Project
Update:
The mineral exploration permit for the Slocan
Graphite project is currently under review. As the Company waits
for that to be granted it will begin ground exploration on the
property once the weather and terrain allow access.
Aben now holds the exclusive right to earn a
100% interest, less 2% Net Production Royalty (“NPR”) in the
road-accessible Slocan Graphite Project located 34km northwest of
Castlegar, British Columbia. The 2,387 hectare Slocan Graphite
Property hosts several large flake graphite-bearing outcrops (high
values of 3.36 and 4.43 % organic Carbon) at the Tedesco Zone,
which is coincident with a strong conductive anomaly identified in
2010 that is interpreted to extend up to 2.0km from the known
surficial occurrences. The Slocan Graphite Project benefits from
excellent infrastructure including a high-voltage transmission line
within 1.2 km of the property boundaries, an extensive network of
forestry roads on and around the property, and an existing graphite
processing facility located 1.5 km west of the property (owned by
Eagle Graphite Corporation).

Forrest Kerr Property
Update:
Aben Resources will forego ground exploration
activities at the Forrest Kerr Gold Property in Northwest B.C in
2022. The Forrest Kerr Property remains an important asset to Aben
Resources and all geologic data collected through recent drill
programs will continue to be analyzed and re-interpreted with the
aim to conduct focused exploration programs in the future. The
Forrest Kerr Property is fully permitted and in good standing
through March 2024.
Aben’s Chairman and CEO Jim Pettit remarked, “We
are re-evaluating all of the old and new data from ground,
geophysics, and drill programs conducted between 2016 and 2020. We
intend to utilize the data to generate future drill targets within
and beyond the North Boundary Zones and South Boundary Zones.”
