Aben Gold stated the 1,300m programme is up of schedule.

The main absorption of the 2026 drilling volition beryllium astatine the POW Zone, wherever the institution aims to analyse the continuity and extent of golden and tungsten mineralisation identified successful erstwhile campaigns.

Historic 2011 diamond drilling reported 1.25g/t golden implicit 60m successful spread JN11-009 and 2.52g/t golden with 29.53g/t metallic implicit 12m successful spread JN11-010.

Subsequent tungsten re-assaying of JN11-010 besides returned 0.25% tungsten trioxide implicit the aforesaid 12m interval.

The existent drill program volition trial areas betwixt these earlier find holes and to measurement retired towards spread JN12-018, wherever 88.5m astatine 0.73 g/t golden was antecedently reported.

A 3rd drill people successful the POW Zone has been designated to analyse the organisation and structural controls of tungsten.

Two drill holes volition people the abstraction betwixt the find intercepts and spread JN12-016, which antecedently produced 5.6m astatine 4.12g/t gold, including 2.6m astatine 8.20g/t gold, and 8.5m astatine 0.39% tungsten trioxide, with a 1m interval grading 1.12% tungsten trioxide.

In the Lost Ace zone, drilling volition measure high-grade orogenic golden veins beneath the surface.

Previous transmission trench samples from this country yielded 20.8g/t golden implicit 4.4m and 88.2g/t golden implicit 1m.

In May 2026, Aben Gold secured a Class 3 Quartz Mining Land Use Approval implicit a five-year play from the Yukon Government's Department of Energy, Mines & Resources.a
