Vancouver, BC – Aben Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: ABN) (OTCQB: ABNAF) (Frankfurt: E2L2) (“Aben” or “the Company”) announces, further to its news release on May 23^rd, the completion of a 173 line kilometer (km) airborne magnetic survey that covered the entire Boundary Zone, located in the central portion of the Forrest Kerr Property. The Boundary Zone has been the main focus of exploration by Aben Resources since 2016. The 2 km by 5 km survey encompassed a large package of gold-bearing rocks from the Hazelton Group, a lithology that hosts several polymetallic mineral deposits in the region. It is expected that the airborne magnetic survey will effectively delineate subsurface geologic structures that are intimately associated to the high-grade gold mineralization previously discovered at the Boundary Zone. Preliminary results from the survey have been received with final deliverables expected well in advance of the onset of drilling in late June.

The 2019 exploration program at Justin will entail 1350 meters of diamond drilling and 600 meters of Rotary Air Blast drilling (“RAB”), along with prospect generating field work.
