[{"type":"text","content":"VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 19, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aben Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:ABN) (OTCBB:ABNAF) (Frankfurt:E2L2) (the “Company”) is pleased to report that the Company has now completed 9 holes and 2,445 metres of its expanded 1st Phase drill program. Assays are pending and are expected to start being received by the Company and continue through to the end of October. This drill program is considered the 1st Phase of what will be a multi-phase/multi-year exploration program guided by the extensive data compilation completed by the Company. The data obtained is based on historic exploration results made available when the Forrest Kerr Property was assembled in 2016. This historic data includes over 120 drill holes, 2,100 rock and 18,000 soil samples property-wide. This comprehensive study has helped our team generate several exploration and drill targets based on a regional scale. Golden Triangle, BC claims map: This first drill program is designed to test and confirm 2 historic drill intercepts and to better define the nature of the mineralizing systems with which they are associated. The Company will determine further drill plans for this program when assays are received and evaluated. Forrest Kerr Gold Project Summary: Historical drilling results at the Forrest Kerr Project have ranged from trace values to several high-grade intercepts such as 9.97 g/t gold over 29.3 metres, including 125 g/t gold over 0.8 metres and 91 g/t gold over 1.9 metres, in hole RG91-21 in the Carcass Creek Zone as well as 33.4 g/t gold over 11 metres, including 326 g/t gold over 0.5 metres, in hole RG91-16 at the Boundary Zone. This high grade mineralization is within 200 metres vertical depth of surface and the Carcass and Boundary Zones are approximately 4 kilometres apart, leaving robust discovery potential along strike, at depth and at other regional targets on the Property. Aben's Forrest Kerr, BC project map: The historical drill holes at the two main target areas, the Carcass and Boundary Zones, were drilled decades ago with limited follow up work due to limited accessibility, high drilling costs and a less comprehensive understanding of the geology. Since then, major infrastructure improvements have been made including the Galore Creek access road on the northern extent of the Property as well as...
