Aben Announces Exploration Program at Mann Lake Uranium Project in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan

Aben Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:ABN)(PINKSHEETS:ABNAF)(FRANKFURT:E2L) is
pleased to announce it will be carrying out a Phase 1 Field Program consisting
of a ground-based electromagnetic (EM) survey this summer on its 40% owned Mann
Lake Uranium Project. The property is strategically located on the east side of
the Athabasca Basin 25 km southwest of Cameco's McArthur River Mine and 15 km
northeast and along strike of Cameco's Millennium uranium deposit. 


Aben's Mann Lake property is also adjacent to the Mann Lake Joint Venture
operated by Cameco (52.5%) with partners Denison Mines (30%) and AREVA (17.5%).
Recently, Denison acquired International Enexco and its 30% interest in the Mann
Lake Joint Venture after the 2014 winter drill program discovered high-grade,
basement-hosted uranium mineralization. The drill program intersected 2.31%
eU3O8 over 5.1 metres including 10.92% eU3O8 over 0.4 metres (see International
Enexco News Release dated March 10th 2014).

EMpulse Geophysics of Dalmeny, Saskatchewan will conduct a ground EM survey
beginning in August. The natural source transient magnetotelluric survey will
consist of a block of 4 profiles totaling 10 km of coverage using the Internal
Field Gradient ("IFG") technique. The survey will focus on a zone in the
southern portion of the Mann Lake property where a favourable, 2 km long
aeromagnetic low coincides with possible basement conductor trends indicated by
prior ground EM surveys. The objective is to generate one or more basement
conductor targets in a setting proximal to the recent high-grade discovery made
by Cameco and International Enexco back in March.

About the Mann Lake Uranium Project:

The Mann Lake Uranium Project consists of one mineral claim covering 3,473
hectares located in the eastern Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan. The
property is under a joint venture agreement with Skyharbour Resources (TSX
VENTURE:SYH) owning 60% and Aben owning the remaining 40% interest in the
property. It occurs within a structural/conductor corridor that contains the
richest uranium deposits in the world including Cameco's McArthur River Mine. 


Aben's Mann Lake Uranium Project has seen over $3 million of previous
exploration expenditures including geophysics and two diamond drill programs
totaling 5,400 metres carried out by Triex Minerals in 2006 and 2008. The
geophysical surveys identified basement conductors and structural corridors
containing reactivated basement faults. These features trend onto the adjacent
ground held by Cameco. The 2006 drill program intersected a 4.5 metre wide zone
of anomalous boron (up to 1,758 ppm) in the sandstone immediately above the
unconformity in hole MN06-005. Boron enrichment is common at the McArthur River
uranium mine, and along with illite and chlorite alteration, is a key pathfinder
element for uranium deposits in the Basin. In the same drill hole, an altered
basement gneissic rock with abundant clay, chlorite, hematite and calc-silicate
minerals was intersected about 7.6 metres below the unconformity, and contained
anomalous uranium up to 73.6 ppm over a 1.5 metre interval. Background uranium
values are commonly between 1 and 5 ppm. 


Aben's Mann Lake Uranium Project contains highly prospective geology and
geochemistry, and a robust discovery potential as identified by the historic
work. Additional field work and exploration has been recommended on a number of
untested targets on the property.
