Golden
Triangle, B.C. claims map:

Construction of camp facilities
and core shack is under way and drill pad construction will follow
in the next few days. The weather has been
favourable. Mobilization of the drill rig will follow when
pads are ready.
The initial focus for the drill
program will be to expand the high-grade precious metal
mineralization discovered in 2017 at the Boundary North Zone,
located near the center of the Forrest Kerr Property. Three
separate drill holes, collared from the same drill pad, pierced a
near-surface high-grade zone of gold-silver-copper mineralization,
in addition to broad intercepts containing gold bearing quartz
veins. Select results from those holes include 6.7 grams per tonne (g/T) Au, 6.4 g/T Ag and 0.9% Cu over
10 metres, including 18.9 g/T Au, 16.6 g/T Ag and 2.2% Cu over 3.0
metres in hole FK17-04 which contributed to an
average grade of 0.26 g/T Au over 387
metres. Hole FK17-05 returned 21.5 g/T Au, 28.5 g/T Ag and 3.1% Cu over 6
metres from the same zone at a slightly greater
depth.
The Company believes the 2017
discovery demonstrates that the Boundary Zone has additional
discovery potential for significant precious metal mineralization.
This area of the Forrest Kerr Property hosts gold-silver-copper in
rock and soil anomalies that span in excess of 2 km by 4km and
remain relatively under-explored.
Aben President and CEO, Jim
Pettit, stated: "Notable
regional discoveries by Pretium, GT
Gold, Garibaldi Resources and others have illustrated the
significant discovery upside remaining in the district and we are
confident in the potential at Forrest Kerr given the newly
discovered and historic high-grade mineralization there as well as
the numerous untested gold-in-soil anomalies present".
