(TSXV:AAN) (\"Aton\" or the \"Company\") updates investors on the results of its phase 3 reverse circulation percussion (\"RC\") drilling programme at the Semna gold mine project, 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:44 RC drill holes (SMP-049 to SMP-092) have been drilled in the current programme to date at Semna, for a total of 5,257m. Full assay results, including conventional fire assay and metallic screen fire assay results, are now available for the first 25 holes of the programme (SMP-049 to SMP-073);Significant high grade mineralised intersections (based on screen fire assay analyses), returned to date, include the following:14.33 g/t Au over a 9m interval, from 72m downhole depth, from hole SMP-050, including intervals of 46.50 g/t Au over 1m and 26.11 g/t Au over 3m;5.41 g/t Au over a 14m interval, from 39m downhole depth, including an interval of 22.57m g/t Au over 3m (hole SMP-056);10.74 g/t Au over a 6m interval, from 138m downhole depth (hole SMP-073);8.66 g/t Au over a 7m interval, from 44m downhole depth, including an interval of 21.73m g/t Au over 2m (hole SMP-052);10.06 g/t Au over a 3m interval, from 125m downhole depth (hole SMP-071);6.16 g/t Au over a 6m interval, from 38m downhole depth (hole SMP-053).\"This latest set of very positive drilling results continues on from the previous programmes, further confirming the presence and persistence of the high grade veins at Semna, and we are really very happy with them\" said Tonno Vahk, CEO. \"We are currently pushing ahead at full speed with the objective of being able to include the Semna and Abu Marawat deposits in the PFS that we commenced last year, as Aton continues to work steadily towards its objective of developing multiple mining operations on the Abu Marawat Concession.
