Aben Gold Receives Class 1 Quartz Approval to Conduct Exploration at Justin

Gold Project

Vancouver, BC -- Aben Gold Corp. (TSX-V: ABM) (OTCID: ABNAF) (Frankfurt: ML1) (“Aben”

or “the Company”) announces that it has received a Class 1 Quartz Approval from the Liard First

Nations, Ross River Dena Council, and the Government of the Yukon to facilitate a planned

summer 2026 field program at the Justin Gold Project in the Tombstone Gold Belt, Yukon

Territory. The Class 1 Quartz Approval allows Aben Gold to conduct exploration and diamond

drilling activities in 202 6 and does not affect the Company's pending Class 3 Quartz Program

application, which was submitted in June 2023 and remains under consultation.

President and CEO Riley Trimble states, “We are incredibly excited to be able to explo re and

develop the Justin Gold Project. We would like to extend our gratitude to L iard First Nation and

the Ross River Dena Council for their approval and look forward to working closely with them in

the 2026 exploration season.”

Project Location and Target Zone Map

The Class 1 Quartz Approval will allow for exploration activities that include grid soil sampling,

rock sampling, geological mapping , and diamond drilling . Diamond drilling will be planned to

commence immediately after a phase 1 ground program and will primarily target the Lost Ace and

POW target zones.

These activities are designed to build upon the project's established mineralization potential and

recent geophysical data, providing further data to guide future exploration efforts. The Justin Gold

Project, a 7,400-hectare property 100% owned by Aben, is located in the southeast Yukon within

the Tintina Gold Belt, adjacent to Seabridge Gold’s 3 Aces Project. Historical exploration has

identified multiple zones of interest, including the POW Zone and Lost Ace Zone (2km along strike

from POW).

Historical Results

• At the POW Zone, diamond drilling in 2011 returned 1.25 g/t Au over 60.0 metres in hole

JN11009, including 2.47 g/t Au over 21.0 met res, and 2.52 g/t Au and 29.53 g/t Ag over

12.0 metres in hole JN11010 (News Release dated January 10, 2012).

• A 2017 3.8kg bulk sample was collected from the area between the Pow Zone and the

Lost Ace and sent for gold grain count analysis. Of the 1135 gold grains recovered, 1049

were classified as pristine suggesting close proximity to lode source (News Release dated

December 13, 2017).

• At the Lost Ace Zone, trenching in 2018 yielded 20.8 g/t Au over 4.4 met res, including

88.2 g/t Au over 1.0 metre (News Release dated January 14, 2019).

Lost Ace Channel and Chip Samples from Trenching, Rock, Till and Soil Sampling

These results, combined with a total of 4,972 metres drilled across 21 holes to date, indicate the

presence of both intrusion-related and orogenic gold systems.

Recent work, including the 2024 QMAGT airborne geophysical survey , has identified coincident

geophysical and geochemical anomalies in under -explored areas between the POW and Lost

Ace zones, highlighting potential for expanded mineralization (News Release dated August 19,

2025).

The Company is pursuing this program to systematically advance the project amid favourable

seasonal conditions, leveraging historical data to refine targets for potential future drilling under

the anticipated Class 3 Quartz Program.

Please note that historical results are not indicative of future results.
