## Minestarters Atlas summary

Aben Gold Corp. has completed its 2026 diamond drill program at the Justin Gold-Tungsten Project in the Yukon, drilling 1,390.9 metres across eight holes. The program exceeded its original 1,300-metre plan and targeted the POW Zone and Lost Ace areas, with assays currently being processed by Bureau Veritas and Actlabs.

Reasoning: The document announces the completion of a drill program and the status of assay shipments, but contains no new numeric assay results for the 2026 holes.

- Positive factor: Completion of drill program exceeding planned meterage

- Positive factor: Testing of two priority targets \(POW and Lost Ace\)

- Positive factor: Visual indication of massive sulphides and scheelite

- Negative factor: No new assay results reported in this release

Facts used in scoring: 8

## Classification and evidence

**No QA/QC Disclosure**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document.

Why it applies: While the release mentions sample numbers include quality control samples \(blanks, standards and duplicates\), it does not disclose specific QA/QC protocols or results.

Evidence · text

> \*Sample numbers include quality control samples \(blanks, standards and duplicates\).

**Nearology Play**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results.

Why it applies: Project is adjacent to the past-producing Cantung Mine and Seabridge Gold's 3 Aces Project.

Evidence · text

> approximately 25 kilometres from the past-producing Cantung Mine.

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
