Aben Gold Corp. has begun its 2026 diamond drill program at the Justin Gold-Tungsten Project in southeastern Yukon [1], [2].
The commencement of this program marks a critical step in the company's effort to advance exploration for gold and tungsten [4], [5]. Identifying viable mineral deposits in the region could potentially increase the strategic value of the company's holdings in the Yukon.
The project is 100% owned by Aben Gold [1], [2]. The site is located approximately 25 km [1] from the Cantung Mine, a known area of mineral activity in the southeastern territory [2], [3].
As part of the 2026 exploration program, the company is utilizing diamond drilling to assess the potential of the site [2], [3]. This phase of exploration follows previous efforts to evaluate historical tungsten results and re-assay programs from 2014 [4].
The company is listed on the TSX-V under the symbol ABM [1]. The current drilling campaign is designed to provide new data on the geological composition of the project area, a process essential for determining whether the site can support large-scale extraction.
Operational activities at the Justin Gold-Tungsten Project are focused on identifying high-grade zones of mineralization. The proximity to the Cantung Mine provides a geological benchmark for the team as they conduct their 2026 surveys [1], [3].
“Aben Gold Corp. has begun its 2026 diamond drill program at the Justin Gold-Tungsten Project.”
The launch of this drilling program indicates Aben Gold's commitment to expanding its resource base in a region already known for tungsten production. By targeting an area near the Cantung Mine, the company is leveraging existing geological precedents to reduce exploration risk, though the success of the 2026 program depends on the actual grade of the minerals recovered from the diamond drills.
