Management and Board’s Track Record of Success
9. • Aben’s flagship gold project totals 23,000 hectares located in a world-
class gold district, B.C.’s Golden Triangle
• Acquisition through option agreements of the three properties that make
up the Forest Kerr Project
• Significant historic work has been performed across the whole project
area including previous drilling that returned high grade gold drill
intercepts
• Data compilation study has been performed incorporating all historic data;
regional scale approach to exploration and knowledge is now possible
• First season of fieldwork and drilling will include but not be limited to the
testing of excellent drill results in historic holes:
Boundary Zone drill hole RG91-16 returned 33.4 g/t Au over 11m
Carcass Creek Zone drill hole RG91-21 returned 9.9 g/t Au over
29.3m
Boundary and Carcass Creek Zones are 4 km apart
Gossan Creek Zone has a large, relatively untested gold in soil
anomaly extending over 3 km

Aben’s Forrest Kerr Gold Project – Highlights
10. 10
• A stable, geopolitically favourable jurisdiction with an abundance of
mining and exploration activities
• This region has hosted significant mineral deposits including: Pretium
(Brucejack), Eskay Creek, Snip, Galore Creek, Copper Canyon, Schaft
Creek, KSM, Granduc, Red Chris and more
• Recent discoveries have reignited interest in the district including
discoveries made at GT Gold’s Tatogga Property (north of Aben’s
Forrest Kerr Project) as well as at Colorado Resources’ KSM
Property (adjacent to the south of Aben’s Forrest Kerr Project)
• Aben’s Forrest Kerr claim package encompasses in excess of 23,000
hectares which consists of a 40 km long north-south belt overlying
rocks of the Hazelton and Stuhini Groups, a complex assemblage of
volcanic accumulations with intervening sedimentary sequences which
are host to significant gold deposits in the Golden Triangle
• Aben can earn a 100% interest over the entire claim group by
expending $3,000,000 on exploration by June 2020
10
The Golden Triangle Region in NW British Columbia
11. • Despite the high grade historic drill results from the early 1990’s and
2000’s, limited follow up work has been carried out since then due to high
drilling costs / limited accessibility, historic glacier coverage, and a less
comprehensive understanding of the geology until recently
• Significant improvements to infrastructure recently have lowered
exploration costs and made the project more accessible:
Forrest Kerr is now road accessible on both the north and south
portions of the property
Northern road, Galore Creek access road, has cut through 9 km of
geology that is very prospective for hosting high grade gold deposits
and VMS style gold deposits
AltaGas-owned 250 man camp located on property area
Existing power line and power generation (hydroelectric facilities)
located on southern part of property
Proposed power line transects northern portion of the property
• In addition, rapid glacial retreats over the past 25 years have exposed
extensive new areas of outcrop exposure in this highly prospective region
• Lastly, Aben's technical team has spent over a year analyzing and
reinterpreting the historical exploration and geological data with the
help of structural geologists to get a better understanding of the
existing targets and high grade gold mineralization at the project 11

in southeast Yukon adjacent to Golden Predator’s 3 Aces project
• The property has the potential to host both high-grade and bulk-
tonnage gold zones within three different styles of mineralization:
epithermal, skarn and sediment-hosted
• Wide spread mineralization across property in a NNW trending
anomaly measuring 3.5 km long and 0.5 km wide encompassing the
Confluence, Main, Kangas, and POW Zones
• Previous drilling encountered gold mineralization in holes drilled on
the POW Zone; discovery of a greenfields Intrusive Related Gold
System (IRGS) in 2011 drilling

Justin Gold Project, Yukon Territory
23. 23
• Both phases of mineralization display geochemical affinity
to an Intrusion Related Gold System and indicates that the
mineralizing system was long-lived; notable IRGS deposits
within Tintina Gold Belt include Kinross' Fort Knox operation
in Alaska and Victoria Gold’s Eagle Gold Deposit
• A total of 4,014 metres was drilled in 19 holes during the
2011 & 2012 field seasons with 10 drill holes successfully
intersecting gold mineralization
• Significant drill results include hole JN11009 with 2.47 g/t
Au over 21m within 60m of 1.19 g/t Au, and hole JN12011
with 46.4m of 1.49 g/t Au
• The POW Zone exhibits strong continuity of
mineralization and remains open in all directions
