(TSXV:AAN) (\"Aton\" or the \"Company\") updates investors on the results of recently completed phase 2 diamond 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:28 diamond drill holes were drilled at Semna, for a total of 4,701m, and were designed to test the Main Vein zone, and its eastern extension, with 2 short holes testing the Eastern Adit Vein;Significant high grade mineralised intersections from the Semna Main Vein eastern extension zone (\"MVZ-EX\") include:11.69 g/t Au, 19.1 g/t Ag and 1.38% Cu over a 5.19m interval , from 126.35m downhole depth and 21.53 g/t Au over a 1.50m interval , from 147.20m downhole depth (both from hole SMD-048;15.05 g/t Au, 8.7 g/t Ag and 0.47% Cu over a 2.55m interval , from 100.45m downhole depth (hole SMD-025);3.16 g/t Au over a 13.96m interval , from 57.42m downhole depth (hole SMD-043), including 27.90 g/t Au over 1.37m , from 68.94m;3.49 g/t Au over a 7.97m interval , from 135.83m downhole depth (hole SMD-027), including 8.10 over 3.13m , from 135.83m;16.77 g/t Au over a 1.55m interval , from 64.3m downhole depth (hole SMD-044);The programme confirmed the continuation of blind, high grade gold mineralisation in the MVZ-EX zone, which remains open at depth and along strike.\"I am happy to now announce the final results from the recently completed phase 2 diamond drilling programme at Semna, which has continued to show excellent promise with more very significant drill intersections from the eastern extension of the previously mined Main Vein\" said Tonno Vahk, CEO. \"The drilling has shown that the high grade mineralisation continues over a strike length of at least 500m, with good mineralisation drilled in the easternmost hole. As always a drill programme raises new questions, including an issue with one of the RC holes, and now is a suitable moment to review the data from the first two drill programmes. The presence of abundant coarse gold at Semna suggests that it is important to use as large diamet...
