LAS VEGAS -- Aberdene Mines Limited (the 'Company' or 'Aberdene') (OTCBB:ABRM) is pleased to announce that it has recently increased the size of the New York Canyon property by staking an additional 550 mineral claims to cover mineral prospects, possible leach pad areas, access routes and power line right of ways. The project, located in the Santa Fe Mining District of Mineral County, Nevada, will be the focus of an extensive exploration program this year to further evaluate the mineral potential of the property. Activities planned this year include delineation and expansion drilling of the Longshot Ridge copper oxide system, metallurgical testing of the host mineralized rock and environmental base line studies to initiate a scoping study.
