Vancouver, BC, June 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aben Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V: ABM) (OTCQB: ABNAF) (Frankfurt: R26) (“Aben” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that a crew has mobilized to conduct an airborne QMAGT Geophysical Survey at the 7,400 hectare, 100% owned Justin Gold Project in the Yukon Territory.

The state-of-the-art geophysical survey will cover the Lost Ace and POW zones, the two main gold (Au) mineralized zones at Justin, as well as the highly prospective area between them. Historic drilling at the POW zone has returned 1.25 g/t Au over 60.0 m (JN11-009) and 2.52 g/t Au and 29.5 g/t Ag over 12.0 m (JN11-010). Surface chip sampling at the Lost Ace zone returned high-grade gold values ranging from trace to 20.8 g/t Au over 4.4 m. Gold mineralization at the POW zone is hosted within and adjacent to the Justin Stock, a mid-Cretaceous intrusive body located at the southern end of the prolific Tombstone Gold Belt. Lost Ace is located 2 kilometers northwest of the POW zone along strike of the local NW-SE faults that have acted as conduits to the robust hydrothermal system.

Justin Gold Project Location and Target Zones

President and CEO Riley Trimble states, “The team is Aben Minerals are extremely excited to commence this survey at the Justin Gold Project. We feel that based on prior drilling success and notable surface sample results, the two main targets can be further explored with a targeted drill campaign for which this survey will be highly useful. We also hope to prove that the area between the POW and Lost Ace zones is also highly prospective.”

Program Details

Aben Minerals has contracted DIAS Airborne Ltd. to conduct a QMAGT (full-tensor magnetic gradiometry low temperature SQUID sensors). DIAS Airborne will fly the survey from the Seabridge Gold’s 3 Aces camp located adjacent to the Justin Gold Project. We expect the survey to be completed in the coming weeks, with results 6 weeks after demobilisation.

About QMAGT

The QMAGT system is a helicopter-borne magnetic survey system that measures the magnetic field in a robust and detailed manner. The SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device) sensor measures the complete gradient tensor (second-order) of the earth’s magnetic field (otherwise known as full tensor magnetic gradiometry – FTMG). This FTMG measurement provides directional information about the magnetic field which is not available from total field sensors, which have been the industry standard for many years.
