January 30 2024 - 7:30AM
Aben Minerals Ltd.
(TSX-V: ABM) (OTCQB: ABNAF)
(Frankfurt: R26)
(“Aben” or “the Company”) has received and filed a NI 43-101
compliant Technical Report pertaining to Aben’s 100% owned 23,397
hectare Forrest Kerr Gold Project in the Golden Triangle, British
Columbia.
Forrest Kerr Property NI 43-101 Technical
Reporthttps://www.sedarplus.ca/csa-party/records/document.html?id=585d4a5e38269d64535733304ea16aef03065042538b0119b10b7ab4ee2ce899
The Forrest Kerr Property
From July 2016 to September 2021, Aben completed
22,957.5 m of diamond drilling in 72 drill holes, collected 1,282
soil samples, 371 rock samples, and 11 stream sediment samples, and
completed an airborne magnetic survey over the Boundary valley
totaling 173 line-kilometres of data. The global database for the
property now includes 190 drill holes, 2,500 rock samples, and over
20,000 soil samples.
The widespread base and precious metal
mineralization present on the Forrest Kerr Property is spatially
related to the Forrest Kerr Fault, a regional scale crustal break
that transects the entire property for over 50 kilometres.
High-grade mineralization has been discovered in multiple
fault-controlled subparallel zones adjacent to the Forrest Kerr
Fault and related structures. Extensive alteration zones that
extend well beyond the known areas of mineralization indicate that
the Forrest Kerr Property hosts a large hydrothermal mineralizing
system with excellent opportunity for further discovery of
significant base and precious metals.
North Boundary Zone:
Highlight drill hole FK17-05 intercepted 1.2 g/t
Au, 1.8 g/t Ag and 0.21% Cu over 122 metres that includes 10.9 g/t
Au, 14.6 g/t Ag and 1.5% Cu over 12 metres with a high grade core
of 21.5 g/t Au, 28.5 g/t Ag and 3.1% Cu over 6 metres. The
mineralized zone encountered represents a near-surface, high-grade
discovery comprised of strong quartz and quartz-carbonate veining
with well-mineralized breccia horizons.
South Boundary Zone:
Despite extensive work done by Aben Resources
and previous operators, the bulk of the ForrestKerr property
remains under-explored with respect to drilling. In particular, the
South Boundaryzone warrants additional drilling to determine its
potential for a low-grade bulk-tonnage Au-Curesource.
Aben’s President and CEO Riley Trimble remarked
that “The NI 43-101 Technical Report for our Forrest Kerr Gold
Project is a collection of six years of exploration work. The
compelling data, particularly from the North Boundary Zone,
reinforces the project's immense potential.
Aben, with two key Canadian gold projects in the
Golden Triangle of British Columbia and the Tombstone Gold Belt of
the Yukon, views the Forrest Kerr Project and the Justin Project
individually as pivotal assets.
Looking ahead, we are actively exploring
strategic options, including a joint venture partnership or even
complete sale of the Forrest Kerr project, to continue the
advancement of our Justin Project. I believe it is worth noting
that both projects are adjacent to exploration projects owned by
Seabridge Gold – their Iskut Project in the Golden Triangle shares
a border with our Forrest Kerr, and their 3 Aces Project in the
Yukon borders Aben’s Justin Project. These
neighbouring projects had approximately $14.68 million spent
collectively on exploration in 2023 according to Seabridge Gold’s
September 30th 3rd Quarter MD&A filing.”
