[{"type":"text","content":"VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 05, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aben Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:ABN) (OTCBB:ABNAF) (Frankfurt:E2L2) (the “Company”) is pleased to provide the following progress update on its 2017 exploration and drilling program at its 23,000 hectare Forrest Kerr Gold Property located in British Columbia's Golden Triangle region. Drilling at Carcass Creek intersected several discrete zones of massive quartz veins and quartz-sulphide vein breccias that have historically reported high grade gold mineralization. At Boundary, massive to semi-massive sulphide horizons were encountered in association with strong quartz carbonate veining and breccias. Sulphides within these packages are 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 localities within the Golden Triangle. The drill core has been sent to the assay labs and final geochemical assays are pending. Golden Triangle Claims Map: Cornell McDowell, Vice President of Exploration of Aben noted: \"We elected to expand this first-phase drill program given the encouraging visual indicators that were witnessed in the drill core. Numerous copper-enriched mineralized zones were encountered over notable widths during drilling at the Boundary Zone. The Boundary rock has been strongly sericite-silica altered with locally intense quartz-sulphide and quartz-carbonate-sulphide veining, the product of a robust and wide-spread hydrothermal system. This type of geochemical and alteration signature has historically been strongly indicative of the potential for significant gold mineralization. This is particularly exciting given the mineralogic similarities between the sulphide horizons we have drilled and those that GT Gold is reporting from their Tatogga Property, located north of our Forrest Kerr Project.” Aben’s Forrest Kerr Project Map: The Company recently announced it expanded its diamond drill program from 2,100 metres to approximately 2,500 metres. The expanded drill program includes drill holes testing the Boundary Zone to confirm and extend the high grade gold mineralization discovered in historical drilling. Drilling conducted in the early 1990's and 2000's at this zone returned some of the highest grades on the Forrest Kerr Property and the Company feels t...
