Aben Gold Completes 2026 Drill Program at Justin Project, Exceeds Target
Event summary
- Aben Gold completed 1,390.9 meters of diamond drilling in eight holes, exceeding the original plan of 1,300 meters in six holes.
- Drilling targeted both the POW Zone gold-tungsten system and the Lost Ace high-grade gold target.
- 1,464 samples collected and shipped for analytical work, with initial assays expected soon.
- Massive sulphides and ultraviolet indication of scheelite observed in POW Zone core.
- Program completed safely and efficiently, with plans for the 2027 season already in consideration.
The big picture
Aben Gold's completion of the 2026 drill program at the Justin Project is a strategic move to advance its gold-tungsten exploration in the Tombstone Gold-Tungsten Belt. The project's proximity to Seabridge Gold’s 3 Aces Project highlights the region's potential for high-grade mineralization. The successful execution of the drill program positions Aben Gold to potentially unlock significant value, contingent on favorable assay results and resource estimates.
