Although assays are pending, the company states
the visual indicators are encouraging.
Aben
Resources Ltd. (ABN:TSX.V; ABNAF:OTCQB) announced in a news release that the 2019 drilling completed so far at
Forrest Kerr "continues to provide encouraging visual indicators of
significant alteration and mineralization immediately south of the North
Boundary mineralized zone."
To date, nine holes over 4,000 meters (4,000m) were drilled at the 23,000
hectare property in British Columbia's Golden Triangle; results are pending.
A total of 5,000m is planned, but the company states that it has funding in
hand to increase the scope considerably.
One aim of the 2019 Forrest Kerr drill program to date was to confirm
high-grade mineralization on the property, the presence of which was
indicated by results from previous exploration work by Aben and former
operators. As such, Aben, in its 2019 program, had the area that previously
returned high-grade results drilled first.
Another goal was to identify any northward extension of the high-grade
mineralized core at the North Boundary zone and look for potential links to
historical, high-grade gold discoveries.
Current drilling, in a strongly leached and iron oxidized area 500m south
of the main North Boundary mineralized zone, is testing for continuity of
mineralization to provide better understanding of its nature and scope.
As for drilling done already this year at Aben's Justin project, all
assays remain pending.
