The newly acquired Iskut River claims are located near the end of the Altagas Mclymont road which extends off the Eskay Creek Mine road. The property is approximately half way between the Eskay Creek Mine and the Snip Mine (15 kilometers either way). The Company views this region as being one of the premier regions in the world for hosting high-grade gold discoveries like Eskay Creek, Snip, and Brucejack. By acquiring these claims Aben now has a foothold in the region and fully intends to move forward with plans to explore.
The Golden Triangle in British Columbia hosts world class metal deposits including the Eskay Creek and Snip past producing high-grade gold mines (Barrick), the newly built Red Chris copper-gold mine (Imperial Metals), the Brucejack high-grade gold mine now under construction (Pretivm) and the KSM (Seabridge), Galore Creek (Teck-NovaGold), and Schaft Creek (Teck) porphyry copper-gold projects.
The Board of Directors also wish to announce a non-brokered private placement of up to 5,000,000 Units at a price of $0.05 per Unit. Each Unit will consist of one Share and One Share Purchase Warrant entitling the holder to purchase an additional common share at a price of $0.10 for a period of one year.
