Assay results will be released as they are received, reviewed, and interpreted.Riley Trimble, President and CEO of Aben Gold, commented: “Completing 1,390 metres across eight holes, above our original 1,300-metre plan, is a strong finish to the 2026 season at Justin. We drilled both POW and Lost Ace, and sent the first two holes into the lab earlier in the program, and have now sent JN26-003 on a rush basis. Our focus turns to receiving assays and using this new dataset to plan the next phase of work.”The 2026 program was designed to test continuity and depth of gold-tungsten mineralization at the POW Zone and high-grade, structurally-controlled gold mineralization at Lost Ace. As previously disclosed, massive sulphides and ultraviolet indication of scheelite (WO₃) were observed in POW Zone core during the program. Visual observations are not a substitute for assay results.Image 1 – JN26-003 140.02-148.52m Ultraviolet LightMilosz Mielniczuk, VP Exploration and Qualified Person of Aben Gold, commented: “We are thrilled to have completed the 2026 program safely and efficiently. I would like to extend a big thank you to the contractors who made this possible: Empire Drilling, Summit Air, Matrix, and Axiom. It was a pleasure working alongside you all, and we look forward to the 2027 season.”This advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Image 2 – Justin Camp August 2026Click here to view imageImage 3 – Project Location and Target ZonesAbout the Justin Gold-Tungsten ProjectThe Justin Project covers approximately 7,400 hectares and is 100% owned by Aben Gold.
