[{"type":"text","content":"VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 24, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aben Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:ABN) (OTCBB:ABNAF) (Frankfurt:E2L2) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce it will be expanding its current drill program from 2,100 metres to 2,500 metres at its 23,000 hectare Forrest Kerr Gold Property located in North Western British Columbia’s Golden Triangle region. The expanded drill program will include drill holes testing the Boundary Zones 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 there is the potential for the expansion of the known zone based on recent data compilation, structural geological interpretation and additional field reconnaissance work. Golden Triangle Claims Map Jim Pettit, President and CEO of Aben, states: “Thus far we are very pleased with the progress of this first-pass drill program at our Forrest Kerr Project in the prolific Golden Triangle. As a result, we have decided to expand the drill program at the main target area. Recent drill discoveries by Pretium, GT Gold, Colorado Resources and others illustrate the significant discovery upside remaining in the district and we are confident in the potential at Forrest Kerr given the known high-grade gold mineralization present there which we are currently testing in this drill program.” 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 Au over 0.8 metres and 91 g/t Au 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 over 0.5 metres, in hole RG91-16 in the Boundary Zone. This high grade mineralization is within 200 metres vertical depth from surface and the Carcass and Boundary Zones are approx. 4 kilometres apart leaving robust discovery potential along strike, at depth and at other regional targets on the property. Aben’s Forrest Kerr 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 unders...
