Aton Resources Inc. (AAN) recommences field activities at its Abu Marawat Concession in Egypt.
Aton’s field teams have undertaken a further phase of surface sampling and mapping at the company’s Abu Gaharish prospect with a total of 83 samples submitted for assay.
The total consists of 56 grab and grab composite samples, 17 channel samples, and a further 10 quality assurance and quality control samples.
Of the selective grab and grab composite samples, 73 per assayed greater than 1 g/t Au, 50 per cent greater than 5 g/t Au.
32 per cent of the samples assayed greater than 10 g/t Au, with individual grades including 157, 58.4 and 47.6 g/t Au.
Channel sampling returned grades of 7.88 g/t Au and 215 g/t silver over an interval of 1.4 metres.
Certain samples returned assays of up to 524 g/t silver, 4.67 per cent copper and 1.24 per cent lead.
Aton has been operating two excavators at Abu Marawat since June, which have been preparing drill roads and pads at both Hamama and Rodruin, ahead of the commencement of diamond drilling at Rodruin.
The company re-opened the exploration camp at Hamama in June and has since then constructed a new camp and core processing facility at Rodruin.
The exploration team re-located to the new Rodruin camp in mid-October and will serve as the new main base for Aton’s field activities going forwards.
This is due to its close proximity to the high priority Abu Gaharish, Sir Bakis, Semna, Bohlog and Zeno regional exploration prospects, amongst others, as well as the advanced Rodruin exploration project.
