Vancouver, BC, March 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aben Gold Corp. (TSX-V: ABM- (OTCID: ABNAF) (Frankfurt: ML1- ("Aben" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it is actively assessing the high-grade tungsten results from its October 16, 2014 News Release at the 100% owned Justin Gold Project in southeast Yukon. The Company is simultaneously planning a comprehensive 2026 exploration program that will incorporate both tungsten and gold targets to fully evaluate the multi-metal potential of this highly prospective property.
The 2014 re-assay program involved tungsten-specific analysis (WO3) of 230 drill core samples from seven of nine previously drilled holes at the POW Zone. This work was initiated after visible scheelite mineralization was identified in core using short-wave ultraviolet lamps, and anomalous tungsten values were noted in prior multi-element ICP data. Key highlights from the 2014 results included:
- Hole JN12016: 8.50 metres grading 0.39% WO3, including 1.00 metre grading 1.12% WO3. This interval was coincident with previous gold mineralization of 5.60 metres grading 4.12 g/t Au, including 2.60 metres grading 8.20 g/t Au. (News Release: Sept 25, 2012
- Hole JN12013: 28.90 metres grading 0.10% WO3 starting near surface, plus 1.10 metres grading 1.15% WO3. This hole also returned prior gold values of 7.40 metres grading 1.81 g/t Au, including 2.20 metres grading 4.42 g/t Au. (News Release: Sept 25, 2012
- Additional intercepts from the 2014 re-assays included 12.00 metres grading 0.25% WO3 (JN11010) and 7.20 metres grading 0.27% WO3 (JN12019), with several higher-grade sub-intervals exceeding 1% WO3.
These results, combined with the Project's strategic location within the Tintina Gold Belt only 35 km southwest of the past-producing Cantung Tungsten Mine, highlight the Justin Project's potential to host significant tungsten mineralization in addition to its established gold discoveries.
The tungsten results referenced above are historical in nature. The Company is not treating the historical tungsten results as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.
Riley Trimble, President and CEO of Aben Gold Corp., commented: "The 2014 tungsten re-assay data has been an important historical dataset that we are now thoroughly reviewing with modern eyes and current market context. Tungsten is a critical mineral with growing strategic importance, and the coincident gold-tungsten mineralization at the POW Zone presents a compelling opportunity. Our 2026 exploration program will be designed to test and expand both metals simultaneously through targeted drilling, sampling, and geophysical follow-up. This integrated approach aligns with our goal of unlocking the full value of the Justin Project for our shareholders."
The Justin Gold Project covers approximately 7,400 hectares and hosts multiple zones of gold and tungsten mineralization. The 2026 program is expected to include diamond drilling, surface sampling, and detailed geological modeling to advance both commodities.
