[{"type":"text","content":"Aton Reports Further Results from the Abu Marawat Diamond Drilling Programme, Including 3.62 g/t Au and 47.2 g/t Ag Over an Interval of 27.60 Metres VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / March 11, 2025 / Aton Resources Inc. (AAN:TSX-V) (\"Aton\" or the \"Company\") updates investors on the results of its ongoing diamond drilling programme at the Abu Marawat deposit, located within the retained exploration areas of the Company's Abu Marawat Concession (\"Abu Marawat\" or the \"Concession\") in the Eastern Desert of Egypt.Highlights:To date 66 diamond drill holes have been drilled at Abu Marawat, for a total of 5,468m. All holes have been drilled horizontally or at shallow angles to test previously undrilled near-surface mineralisation in an area of steep and mountainous terrain that is hard to access for conventional drilling rigs;Results for a further 31 holes, AMD-115 to AMD-145, are now available, with significant high grade polymetallic mineralised intersections including:3.62 g/t Au, 47.2 g/t Ag, 4.15 g/t AuEq, 0.32% Cu and 0.63% Zn over a 27.60m interval on the CVZ, from 34.40m downhole depth (hole AMD-142);4.53 g/t Au, 68.5 g/t Ag, 5.29 g/t AuEq, 0.42% Cu and 1.65% Zn over a 16.85m interval, on the CVZ, from 32.15m downhole depth (hole AMD-131);6.64 g/t Au, 135 g/t Ag, 8.15 g/t AuEq, 0.45% Cu, 0.39% Pb and 4.85% Zn over a 3.75m interval on the Fin Vein, from 55.85m downhole depth (hole AMD-117);3.70 g/t Au, 113 g/t Ag, 4.95 g/t AuEq, 0.30% Cu and 2.47% Zn over a 5.90m interval, on the Fin Vein, from 83.60m downhole depth (hole AMD-118).\"I am happy to be able to update investors on the ongoing diamond drilling at Abu Marawat, as well as the commencement of field programmes on the Hamama West PFS over the last few months\" said Tonno Vahk, CEO. \"The drilling has been proceeding steadily at Abu Marawat where we are looking to bring the resource up to indicated category, and we are very pleased as it continues to deliver more encouraging high grade gold-silver intersections from the Fin Vein, as well as significant near surface widths of polymetallic mineralisation from the CVZ, at very respectable gold equivalent grades of greater than 4-5 g/t. At the same time we are moving forwards with fieldwork on the Hamama West PFS, commenced in 2024. We have completed a short programme of infrastructure sterilisation and resource delinea...
