Aton (AAN) has drilled up to 41.7 g/t gold and 263 g/t silver at its West Garida Prospect.

Exploration at the prospect, located 3 km from Aton’s Hamama West Deposit in Egypt, included five percussion RC holes (390 m) to test down-dip extensions of mineralized quartz veins mapped at surface.

All five holes intersected mineralization associated with the targeted veins. 

The company anticipates further diamond drilling to substantiate the discovery.
