Aben Gold Corp. Receives 5-Year Class 3 Quartz License at Justin Gold Tungsten Project, Yukon
Vancouver, BC, May 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aben Gold Corp. (TSX-V: ABM) (OTCID: ABNAF) (Frankfurt: ML1) (“Aben” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received a Class 3 Quartz Mining Land Use Approval from the Yukon Government’s Department of Energy, Mines & Resources for its 100%-owned Justin Gold Tugnsten Project in southeast Yukon.The approval is effective as of yesterday, May 21, 2026, and is valid for five years until May 20, 2031. It authorizes a comprehensive suite of exploration activities across 375 mineral claims, including:
- Diamond drilling and rotary air-blast (RAB) drilling
- Mechanized trenching (up to 25 trenches)
- Construction of temporary trails and helicopter pads
- Geophysical survey lines
- Use and maintenance of the existing 2012 Justin camp and associated infrastructure
This permitting milestone fully enables Aben’s previously announced 2026 exploration program, which is scheduled to commence in mid-July and run through mid-September. The program includes approximately 1,500 metres of diamond drilling between two zones targeting the POW Zone (gold + tungsten) and the Lost Ace Zone, supported by the Company’s recently signed contracts with Empire Drilling & Consulting Ltd., Axiom Exploration, and Contour Exploration Services. All activities will be staged out of Seabridge Gold’s adjacent 3 Aces Camp.
Riley Trimble, President and CEO of Aben Gold Corp., commented: “First I would like to thank the Yukon Government, Ross River Dena Council, and Liard First Nations. Receiving this Class 3 approval provides us with the regulatory certainty to conduct the 2026 drill program and provides flexibility for future seasons. With strong gold and tungsten prices and growing interest in tungsten as a critical mineral, we are now fully positioned to advance both metals at the POW Zone while following up on the high-grade gold at Lost Ace. We look forward to mobilizing in mid-July as planned.”
