1. Ownership and Share Structure Information

The information listed above was updated on the date this article was published and was compiled from information from the company and various other data providers.

On May 8, 2026, Aben Gold Corp. (ABM:TSXV; ABNAF:OTCQB) announced the details of its upcoming 2026 exploration program at the 100%-owned Justin gold-tungsten project. This project is located in southeastern Yukon within the renowned Tombstone gold belt and covers roughly 7,400 hectares of land. Field activities are expected to commence in mid-July, aiming to ". . . advance the multimetal (gold plus tungsten) potential of the POW intrusion-related (IRGS) zone, the high-grade Lost Ace orogenic-gold zone, and other regional targets identified by the 2024 QMAGT airborne geophysical survey."

The company is planning 1,500 meters of diamond drilling across three drill pads designed to test two high-priority targets. Approximately 1,000 meters will evaluate the gold-tungsten potential of the POW zones, and the remaining 500 meters will evaluate the Lost Ace zone.

Historical estimates at the POW zone include:

• JN11009: 60.00 meters grading 1.25 grams per tonne Au (gold) (including 21.00 meters grading 2.47 g/t Au)  
• JN12011: 46.4 meters grading 1.49 g/t Au (including 9.20 meters grading 3.88 g/t Au)
• Hole JN12016: 8.50 meters grading 0.39% WO3, including 1.00 meter grading 1.12% WO3. This interval was coincident with previous gold mineralization of 5.60 meters grading 4.12 g/t Au (including 2.60 meters grading 8.20 g/t Au)
• The 2024 QMAGT survey identified structural corridors and anomalies that remain open in multiple directions

Historical estimates at the Lost Ace zone include:

• Channel sampling returned 20.8 g/t Au over 4.4 m (including 88.2 g/t Au over 1.0 m)
• The 2019 RAB program (20 holes, 592 m) tested the zone, but sampling was hindered by extremely wet hole conditions. Diamond drilling is more appropriate for this target zone
• Pristine visible gold grains in bulk soil samples indicate a potential proximal bedrock source

Riley Trimble, President and CEO of Aben Gold, said in the release: "We are excited to announce our fully contracted 2026 program at Justin. Staging out of the 3 Aces Camp and working with proven contractors that have Yukon experience will allow us to execute efficiently. This campaign is a major step in unlocking the gold and tungsten potential of the project, and we look forward to delivering results to shareholders this fall."

Milo Mielniczuk, PGeo and Vice-President of Exploration, added: "The 2026 program is strategically designed to test the highest-priority targets generated from the 2024 QMAGT survey and our historical data sets. With 1,500 meters testing two unique zones, we will systematically evaluate the coincident gold-tungsten system at POW while advancing the high-grade Lost Ace zone. Our team and contractors are ready for a safe and successful season."

Aben Gold is a Canadian gold exploration company with exploration projects in the Yukon Territory and British Columbia.

Gold's Bull Market Starting to Stand Still

Gold, a safe-haven asset, has stopped its meteoric rise of the past year because of ongoing uncertainty surrounding the U.S.-Iran conflict. Increased oil prices due to the limited allowed use of the Strait of Hormuz have spiked inflation fears, leaving gold to remain roughly steady in its pricing. On May 11, 2026, spot gold was up 0.29% to US$4,727.20 per ounce. Even if the skyrocketing prices have slowed, investors are still hungry for gold.

A May 8, 2026, article by Niels Christensen for Kitco discussed the strategic importance of stockpiling gold, noting that". . . gold accumulation has increasingly become a strategic policy decision, tied to reserve diversification, geopolitical uncertainty, and ongoing efforts to reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar." Christensen said that many countries are still adding more gold to their portfolio shares, saying, "Importantly, recent behavior suggests that central bank demand has become less price‑sensitive than in previous cycles. Analysts note this indicates official institutions are focused less on short‑term valuation and more on long‑term strategic positioning."

Historical data plays into Christensen's sentiments, with Kat Tretina from Yahoo Finance writing, "Data from the National Mining Association shows explosive increases in gold prices over the past five and 10 years. Between 2016 and the end of 2025, gold's price went from US$1,250 to US$4,318 per ounce," on May 11, 2026. In a longer-term estimate, Tretina quoted analyst opinions, writing, "Financial analysts with JP Morgan and Morningstar project continued strength in the gold market. If the global conflicts remain unresolved and central banks maintain their current rates, gold will continue to act as a safe haven asset for both institutional and retail investors. Because of these factors, experts with JP Morgan and Morningstar believe that gold will perform well this year, with sustained higher prices in 2026."

Expert has 'Highest Regard for the Company'

Bob Moriarty of 321Gold offered Streetwise Reports this quote regarding the company: "Much to their pleasant surprise, Aben Gold realized that they had a tungsten component to their existing gold found in a drill program from 2014. After a long, quiet time, the company has reawakened and will be commencing a surface exploration program this year at its Justin property in the Yukon after raising CA$400,000. With a tiny market cap of under CA$6 million, it wouldn't take much in the way of results to boost the share price higher. I have worked with this management team for many years and have the highest regard for them."

Two Studies Before the End of 2026

The company expects to complete both Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies on the POW and Lost Ace zones between July and September 2026. 

Phase 1 will include:

• Grid soil sampling, at a 100-meter line spacing and 50-meter station spacing for the southeastern part of the POW target area, and the Lost Ace target area (2 km northwest of POW Zone).
• Rock sampling is to be done where warranted. A total of 600 soil and 80 rock samples are budgeted, although additional soil sampling may be done if fewer rock samples are taken.
• Geological mapping is designed to further delineate the extent of the POW zone and Lost Ace Zone

Phase 2 will include three or four holes in the POW zone, averaging 300 meters in length. The primary target will be the Pow Zone area to discover the full extent of intrusion-related mineralization and identify the presence of cupolas. Further Phase 2 drilling will include three or four holes in the Lost Ace zone.
