(TSX-V:ABN) (OTCBB:ABNAF) (Frankfurt:E2L2) (the “Company”) is pleased to provide results for the first four drill holes of the phase-one drill program at the Forrest Kerr Gold Project located within the Golden Triangle region of British Columbia. The initial three holes were drilled at the Carcass Creek Zone and the fourth is the first of six holes drilled at the Boundary Zone located 7.7 km south of Carcass Creek. Both locations host historically reported polymetallic high-grade mineralization. Golden Triangle, BC Claims Map: Highlights: Hole FK17-04 returns 6.7 g/t Au, 6.4 g/t Ag and 0.9% Cu over 10.0 metres, including 18.9 g/t Au, 16.6 g/t Ag and 2.2% Cu over 3.0 metres Part of a much larger mineralized horizon which returned 0.26 g/t Au over 387.0 metres Hole FK17-04 is large stepout located 280 metres north of historic Boundary Zone drill hole RG91-16 which returned 33.4 g/t Au over 11 metres including 326 g/t Au over 0.5 metres Style and degree of alteration and mineralization indicative of a robust hydrothermal system with the mineralized zones being relatively enriched in chalcopyrite, a copper mineral that has shown a strong correlation with gold mineralization both on the Forrest Kerr Property and in several other localities within the Golden Triangle including GT Gold’s Tatogga property Hole FK17-04 is the first of six holes that were completed in the Boundary Zone with assays pending for the remaining five holes The strongest and most extensive gold and copper soil anomalies have yet to be drill tested in the southern portion of the Boundary Zone Given these early stage results, Aben has plans to aggressively explore and drill test the high-grade Boundary Zone which is open along strike and at depth Aben's Forrest Kerr, BC Project Map: Jim Pettit, CEO of Aben stated: \"The assay results from Aben’s first hole drilled at the Boundary Zone on our flagship Forrest Kerr project are very exciting and illustrate the robust upside potential at the property. The discovery of high-grade, near-surface gold mineralization in hole FK17-04, and the fact that it is...
