Aben Gold Corp. has completed its 2026 diamond drill program at the Justin Gold-Tungsten Project in southeastern Yukon Territory, reaching 1,390.9 metres across eight holes over 36 operating days.

The campaign exceeded the company’s original plan of approximately 1,300 metres in six holes, building on earlier progress that stood at 766 metres across three holes as of September 1. Drilling tested two primary targets, with five holes completed at the POW Zone and three holes at the Lost Ace high-grade gold target.

A total of 1,464 samples, including quality control checks, have been collected and dispatched to Bureau Veritas and Actlabs for analytical work. Core cutting and sampling remain active at the site, with processing underway for hole JN26-007.

“Completing 1,390 metres across eight holes, above our original 1,300-metre plan, is a strong finish to the 2026 season at Justin. We drilled both POW and Lost Ace, and sent the first two holes into the lab earlier in the program, and have now sent JN26-003 on a rush basis. Our focus turns to receiving assays and using this new dataset to plan the next phase of work .”
