(AAN - TSX Venture), is pleased to announce the completion of four diamond drill holes (AAM-001 to AAM-004) and is currently drilling hole number five of a minimum 25 hole program on its Abu Marawat Property in the Abu Marawat Concession; one of two concessions held by the Company in the Eastern Desert of Egypt.Highlights of the Program:* AAM-001 was drilled at -45° to twin MINEX drill hole AMD-3 in order to have confidence in MINEX's procedures and results.  The geology and mineralogy of that hole duplicates MINEX's results and the Company expects that the assay results, which are pending, will return similar results.  This hole penetrated the mineralization in the oxide portion of the deposit over an apparent width of 8 metres.  * AAM-002 was collared at the same location as AAM-001 at an inclination of -60°.  It penetrated the CVZ quartz-sulphide vein 40 metres below the first holes intersection. AAM-002 contains several quartz veins within a broader silicified zone encompassed in a mineralized envelope with a visual estimate of 5 percent each of chalcopyrite and sphalerite over an apparent width of 14 metres.* AAM-003 was a step out 75 metres southeast of AAM-001 and AAM-002 to test the lateral and depth extension of mineralization.  The mineralized envelope was encountered over a drill width of 20 metres. Mineralization is similar to that in AAM-002 with a visual estimate of 5 percent sphalerite and 3 percent chalcopyrite.  Within the mineralized envelope, there are several 1 metre intersections containing up to 30 percent sphalerite.* AAM-004 twinned MINEX AMD-12.  The hole is currently being logged and diamond sawed for sampling.  As in the case of the first twinned hole, AAM-001, the results are geologically and mineralogically similar and the assay results are not expected to deviate dramatically.  AAM-004 showed the mineralized envelope to extend over a drill intersection of 28 metres.  The mineralized envelope is similar to the earlier holes showing multiple quartz veins within a wi...
