• SIGNIFICANT HISTORIC WORK HAS BEEN PERFORMED ON ALL PROJECTS

• DATA COMPILATION HAS BEEN PERFORMED ON ALL PROJECTS WITH RECOMMENDATION TO MOVE FORWARD

• VERY EXPERIENCED MANAGEMENT TEAM WITH PROVEN TRACK RECORDS OF SUCCESS

6

BRITISH COLUMBIA’S GOLDEN TRIANGLE Forrest Kerr Property

• The property agreements require a minimum of $3,000,000 CDN to be spent on exploration of the entire project area by June 30, 2020

• The Forrest Kerr Project encompasses in excess of 23,000 hectares

• Aben to earn 100%

7

The Forrest Kerr Project is located in the centre of BC’s

Golden Triangle, a World Class Gold District

• Greater than 172 M oz Gold endowment

• 6 deposits with > 10 M oz Gold

• Over 65% of BC’s gold resources are contained within

• Multiple deposit types with various ages of mineralization

Forrest Kerr InfrastructurePower & Roads

• Existing power line and power generation located on southern segment of property

• Proposed power line transects northern portion of the property

• AltaGas-owned 250 man camp located on property

• Project is road accessible to both the north and south portions of the property

• Northern road has cut through 9km of geology that is very prospective for hosting high grade gold deposits and VMS style gold deposits 10

Forrest Kerr ProjectFavourable Geology

• Over 20km of prospective Eskay & Brucejackstratigraphy

• Jurassic rocks in under-explored northern portion of property are analogous in time and geochemistry to Eskay Creek host rocks

• Property wide alteration and metal endowment show a robust hydrothermal system

11

Forrest Kerr ProjectMineralization

• Numerous documented poly-metallic occurrences along extent of property (Au, Ag, Cu, Pb, Zn)

• Large property wide multi-element soil geochemical anomalies (over 10,000 soil samples tested)

• Several historic localized high grade drill intersections

• Evidence for wide range of mineralization styles including Au-Ag rich VMS, epithermal veins, intrusion related vein systems and potential for Alkalic Cu-Au porphyry in the north portion of property 12

Moving Forward on the Forrest Kerr Gold Project

• Limited amount of field work conducted on the Forrest Kerr property in recentyears

• Previous work was guided through the application of the Eskay explorationmodel

• Re-interpretation of target models is required in light of the significance, size andpotential success of other deposits in the Golden Triangle (eg. Brucejack)

Chico Project Saskatchewan Regional Tenure

• Silver Standard completed acquisition of Claude Resources May 2016

• Deal valued at $337 million

• Seabee/Santoy achieved highest annual gold production in it’s 26 year history in 2016 @ 77,640 ounces from feed averaging 7.91 g/t

Morelli and MacLachlan, 2012

• Right lateral shear system understood but largely untested

Chico Property Geology & Highlights

• Significant intercepts in all holes drilled to date

• High grade intercepts from historic drilling– 0.424 oz/ton Au over 0.4m at Chico showing– 0.281 oz/ton Au over 2.0m at Royex

• Historic drilling was shallow. Opportunity to test along known strike and at depth

Chico Project 2016 Airborne Geophysics

• Effective in delineating diorite/gabbro lithology

Total Magnetics Vertical Gradient Magnetics

Chico Project - Seabee / Santoy Similarities

Chico Project Future Work• Project is drill ready – drilling permits have been

obtained– Along strike and to depth near previous high grade

intercepts– Soil/rock geochemical anomalies– intersecting mineralized vectors

• IP Geophysical surveys to help refine identify additional targets

• Follow up 2016 geochemical anomalies in context of new structural interpretation and geophysical data

• Continued prospecting, geochemical surveys and mapping

Justin GoldProject, Yukon

24

Justin Project Claims Map

• Aben owns a 100% interest in its 18,314 acre, Justin Gold Project in southeast Yukon

• 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 the property delineates a NNW trending anomaly measuring 3.5 km long, and 0.5 km wide encompassing the Confluence, Main, Kangas, and POW Zones

Kangas Zone Discovery:

Hole JN11003 - 7320 g/t Ag, 1.1 g/t Au, 3.52% Cu over 1.07m** Poor sample recovery but still significant result

POW Zone Discovery:

Hole JN11009 – 2.47 g/t Au over 21m within 60m of 1.19 g/t Au

Hole JN11010 – 2.7 g/t Au and 29 g/t Ag over 11.3m

POW Zone open in all directions

Justin Gold Project, YukonPOW and Kangas Discovery Zones

26

Justin Gold Project, Yukon: POW Discovery Zone

• Multi-phase precious metal mineralization has been discovered in the POW Zone: contact metamorphic skarn (massive replacement style mineralization) and structurally controlled stockwork vein hosted mineralization

• Both phases of mineralization display geochemical affinity to an Intrusion Related Gold System (IRGS) and indicates that the mineralizing system was long-lived

• Size of porphyry dikes present on property and their spatial distribution indicate that a multi-kilometric intrusive stock is present with large untested geophysical anomalies proximal to POW Zone as high-priority drill targets

• Notable IRGS deposits within Tintina Gold Belt include Kinross' Fort Knox operation in Alaska (reserves of 4.3 million ounces of gold), and Victoria Gold’s Eagle Gold Deposit (indicated resources of 4.8 million ounces of gold and inferred resources of 1.5 million ounces of gold
