NEWS RELEASE

Aben Resources Granted DTC Eligibility
Vancouver, BC – Aben Resources Ltd. (TSX -V: ABN) (OTCQB: ABNAF) (Frankfurt: E2L2)
(“Aben” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company has been granted
approval by The Depository Trust Company, which is a subsidiary of the Depository Trust &
Clearing Corp., and manages the electronic clearing and settlement of publicly traded
companies in the United States. Being DTC eligible is expected to greatly simplify the process
of trading of the company's common shares on the OTCQB marketplace where Aben trades
under the symbol “ABNAF”. The DTC electronic method of clearing securities sp eeds up the
receipt of stock and cash, and thus accelerates the settlement process for investors. In addition
to the OTCQB listing, shares of Aben continue to trade on the main TSX Venture Exchange
under the symbol “ABN” as well as the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “E2L2”.
Aben recently announced plans for its upcoming summer drill program at the Forrest Kerr gold
property located in northwestern British Columbia's Golden Triangle region (see news release
dated May 23rd, 2018). A 5,000-metre diamond drill program is to begin shortly. The initial focus
of 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.

James G. Pettit, Aben Resources President & CEO stated: “With heightened investor interest in
the Golden Triangle during the s ummer drilling season, we believe that being DTC eligible will
significantly enhance liquidity for our shareholders and improve our access to institutional and
retail investors within the US."
