[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 20, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aben Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: ABN) (OTCQB: ABNAF) (Frankfurt: E2L2) (“Aben” or “the Company”) has received analytical results from the the first shipment of drill core from the 2019 drill exploration program at the Forrest Kerr Gold Project in the Golden Triangle region of British Columbia. Forrest Kerr Project, Golden Triangle, B.C., location map: 5000+m has now been completed in 10 holes, with numerous sample shipments now in the laboratory. Based on the encouraging results obtained to date, Aben had elected to expand the budget for the program and intends to continue drilling into September. Forrest Kerr Project North Boundary Zone map - August 2019: The goal of the 2019 drill program is to test a specific area of the North Boundary Zone as well as the area around the historic “Noranda hole” and a corresponding new zone of sericite alteration located south of the Noranda hole. These initial results are from three widely spaced holes located peripheral to the main zone of mineralization at North Boundary. Each hole encountered variable and intermittent polymetallic mineralization within the Hazelton volcanic/sub-volcanic sequence (brief hole descriptions are summarized below). Mineralization corresponds to multiple and widespread fault and shear zone structures within a panel of Jurassic Hazelton rocks that dominate the Boundary valley. The mineralized structures correlate very well with magnetic highs that were delineated by an airborne survey flown in May 2019. Thus far, drilling in this part of the Forrest Kerr Property has only tested a small portion of the potentially mineralized structures defined by the magnetic survey. Airborne Magnetic Survey from Boundary Zone on the Forrest Kerr Project: Click Here FK19-46 (110/-45) -- Drilled oblique to the main mineralized corridor at North Boundary to test for continuity of mineralization between recently discovered mineralization and historic high-grade gold mineralization reported by Noranda in 1991 (326.0 g/t Au over 1 meter). This hole encountered multiple mineralized horizons with an overall average of 0.12 g/t Au over its entire length of 500.5 meters (m) (including 12.4 g/t Au between 203-204m). FK19-50 (195/-65) – Drilled to test for the downward extension of a mineralized horizon disc...
