Aben Resources Ltd. provided update on its Yukon and Northwest Territories properties including its 100% owned, 18,314-acre Justin Gold Project. The Justin property is located in the southeast Yukon within the Tintina Gold Belt approximately 35 kilometres southeast of the Cantung Mine and is accessed by an all-season road. Gold mineralizing events on the Justin property directly comprise an intrusion- related gold system ('IRGS').

All holes drilled to completion in the POW Zone thus far have successfully intersected gold mineralization. Drill highlights include 60.0 metres of 1.19 g/t Au in hole JN11009, 46.4 metres of 1.49 g/t Au in hole JN12011 and 88.5 metres of 0.73 g/t Au in hole JN12018. The POW Zone continues to exhibit strong continuity of mineralization and remains open in all directions.

The majority of the intrusive stock and its surrounding contact aureole at the Justin Project have yet to be tested and remain high priority targets for future exploration and drilling. Follow up prospecting and surface sampling from the POW Zone continued to yield prospective gold mineralization, expanding the POW Zone to the south and west. Grab samples from sheeted veining in outcrop returned gold values ranging from anomalous up to 22.20 g/t Au.

One of these samples containing the first documented sights of visible gold on the property returned 3.66 g/t Au. A 26 line kilometre ground based magnetics survey was completed during the 2012 field season to infill between two existing airborne magnetic surveys completed on the Justin and VF properties in 2010 and 2011. Magnetic survey data has proven to be an effective tool for mapping structure, and the variable magnetic signature of the Justin stock, and associated contact skarns and hornfels.

A total of 450 conventional soil samples were collected during the 2012 field season. JNL016, a 4 kilometre ridge and spur soil line returned the strongest gold in soil anomaly documented on the Justin Property to date. The soil samples are thought to be coincident with the extension of the N-S Justin fault zone extending from the POW Zone through the main zone.

Another area of interest occurs approximately 2 kilometres west of the POW Zone where anomalous soil samples are coincident with a magnetic high signature, which may represent a continuation of skarn style mineralization similar to that observed within the POW Zone. Intrusion Related Gold Systems (IRGS) on the Tintina Gold Belt: Producing IRGS deposits within the Tintina Gold Belt include Kinross' Fort Knox operation in Alaska, with reported proven and probable reserves of 314 million tonnes grading 0.43 g/t gold, representing 4.3 million ounces of contained gold. Advanced IRGS projects in the Yukon include Victoria Gold's Eagle Gold Deposit which is expected to be the Yukon's next operating gold mine and includes Probable Reserves of 2.3 million ounces of gold from 92 million tonnes of ore with a grade of 0.78 g/t gold.

The NI 43-101 Compliant Mineral Resource has been estimated to host 222 million tonnes averaging 0.68 g/t gold, containing 4.9 million ounces of gold in the Indicated category, inclusive of Probable Reserves, and a further 78 million tonnes averaging 0.60 g/t gold, containing 1.5 million ounces of gold in the Inferred category.
