Golden Triangle junior trades up on drill results

Aben Resources (TSX-V:ABN) said its first drill hole at its Forrest Kerr project showed multiple high-grade zones including 62.4 g/t gold over 6.0m within 38.7 g/t gold over 10.0m.

The junior was up 50 percent today to 30.5 cents.

“The high-grade gold and base metal values in the first hole of the 2018 drill program have far exceeded our expectations and confirm the presence of a robust and strong mineralizing system at the recently discovered North Boundary Zone,” said Jim Pettit, President and CEO of Aben Resources in a news release.

“We are now looking at an area that extends 230m south to the historic high-grade Noranda drill hole from 1991 and although the geology is complex we believe more drilling will delineate additional high-grade mineralization.”

The company highlighted the findings:

• Four separate high-grade zones intersected in first drill hole FK18-10 all within 190 metres downhole at recently discovered North Boundary Zone
• Highest-grade zone consists of 331.0 g/t (grams/tonne) gold (Au) (9.65 oz/t) over 1.0 metre (m) within broad zone averaging 38.7 g/t Au (1.12 oz/t) over 10.0m from 114.0-124.0m including 62.4 g/t Au over 6.0m (true thicknesses undetermined)
• Additional high-grade zones in Hole FK18-10 include 22.0 g/t Au, 22.4 g/t silver (Ag) over 4.0m; 3.9 g/t Au, 4.0 g/t Ag over 13.0m; and 8.2 g/t Au, 1.4 g/t Ag over 6.0m (see table below for intervals in more detail)
• This new discovery is part of the Boundary North Zone and is 230m north of the historic high-grade drill hole drilled by Noranda in 1991
• Plans to expand the drill program are being put in place and assays are pending for seven more drill holes

Aben Resources is a Canadian gold exploration company with projects in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle, the Yukon and Saskatchewan.
