Aben Gold Revisits High-Grade Tungsten Data, Plans Dual-Commodity Exploration in 2026
Event summary
- Aben Gold is reassessing 2014 tungsten assay data from its Justin Project in Yukon, revealing high-grade intercepts including 8.5m at 0.39% WO₃ and 28.9m at 0.10% WO₃.
- The company plans a 2026 exploration program targeting both tungsten and gold mineralization across the 7,400-hectare property.
- Historical results show coincident gold-tungsten mineralization in multiple drill holes near the past-producing Cantung Mine (35 km away).
- Aben holds 100% ownership of the Justin Project, located adjacent to Seabridge Gold’s 3 Aces Project.
The big picture
Aben’s dual-commodity approach reflects growing investor interest in tungsten as a strategic mineral, while gold maintains portfolio appeal. The project’s proximity to past producers and major peers like Seabridge Gold underscores its competitive positioning within the Tintina Belt. Success hinges on proving economic viability for both metals amid volatile commodity cycles.
