(TSX-V:AAN) (\"Aton\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to update investors with the final results from its reverse circulation percussion (\"RC\") drilling at the Semna gold mine prospect, located within its 100% owned Abu Marawat Concession (\"Abu Marawat\" or the \"Concession\"), in the Eastern Desert of Egypt.Highlights:21 holes were drilled at the Semna prospect, for a total of 3,662m, with the preliminary drill results from 4m composite sampling having previously been reported (see news releases dated October 13, 2023 and November 7, 2023);Assay results of the primary 1m split samples through the mineralised zones are now available, and show good correlation with the 4m composite sampling;Significant high grade mineralised intersections from the Semna Main Vein zone (\"SMV\") include:50.07 g/t Au over a 6m interval, from 75m downhole depth (hole SMP-016), including 222 g/t Au over 1m, from 80m;28.36 g/t Au, 28.4 g/t Ag and 1.15% Cu over a 4m interval, from 136m downhole depth (hole SMP-003), including 94.8 g/t Au, 88.2 g/t Ag and 3.47% Cu over 1m, from 137m;11.98 g/t Au over a 16m interval, from 61m downhole depth (hole SMP-018), including 36.03 g/t Au over 4m, from 61m;10.61 g/t Au, 24.0 g/t Ag and 1.20% Cu over a 9m interval, from 130m downhole depth (hole SMP-019), including 37.00 g/t Au, 145.0 g/t Ag and 8.72% Cu over 1m, from 133m. SMP-019 also returned intersections of 5.82 g/t Au over a 3m interval from 102m, and 9.10 g/t Au over a 2m interval from 111m.5.73 g/t Au over a 14m interval, from 56m downhole depth (hole SMP-017), including 14.85 g/t Au over 3m from 60m, and 8.67 g/t Au over 3m from 66m.\"We are pleased to be able to now provide the final assay results from the Semna RC drilling programme. It is quite apparent to us, even at this early stage, that Semna is shaping up as a very significant new drill discovery. We plan to fast-track the exploration at Semna as soon as the mining licence has been issued at Abu Marawat, which we anticipate will be very soon now.
