ABEN GOLD PROVIDES DRILL PROGRAM UPDATE AT JUSTIN GOLD-TUNGSTEN PROJECt

Aben Gold Corp. has provided an update on the fully financed 2026 diamond drill program at its 100-per-cent-owned Justin gold-tungsten project in southeastern Yukon Territory, approximately 25 kilometres from the past-producing Cantung mine.

As of the Aug. 30, 2026, daily field report, the company has completed 766 metres of diamond drilling over 21 operating days, averaging 35.0 metres per day. A total of 785 core samples has been collected to date. The 2026 program is planned for approximately 1,300 metres. Visual massive sulphides and ultraviolet indication of WO3.

First hole cut and sent for assay

Cutting of hole JN26-001 has been completed. The 341 samples from JN26-001 were dispatched on Aug. 26, 2026, and submitted to Bureau Veritas for assay. Samples from JN26-002 (227 samples) and JN26-003 (217 samples) are being prepared for a subsequent dispatch.

Three holes have been completed at the POW zone, and a fourth hole is under way:

• JN26-001 -- completed Aug. 13, 2026, to a final depth of 265.3 metres (planned end of hole 250 metres); started Aug. 8, 2026; 341 samples collected;
• JN26-002 -- completed Aug. 21, 2026, to a final depth of 207.35 metres; started Aug. 13, 2026; 227 samples collected;
• JN26-003 -- completed Aug. 29, 2026, to a final depth of 250.05 metres; logging is complete; 217 samples outlined to date; the company is looking at labs that may accommodate rush analysis for JN26-003 samples.

The current hole, JN26-004, is under way from the current pad 2, to follow up on observable scheelite mineralization drilled in JN26-003.

Riley Trimble, president and chief executive officer of Aben Gold, commented: "The 2026 drill program at Justin is advancing well. We have three holes complete, a fourth hole under way at POW, and the first hole already cut and sent to the lab. Getting JN26-001 into the assay queue quickly is a priority so we can begin receiving results during what is surely a busy fall season for labs. We look forward to updating shareholders as assays are received."
