[{"type":"text","content":"Aton Reports Wide Zones of Surface Mineralisation from Channel Sampling at Semna and Final RC Drill Results from ZenoVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 1, 2024 / Aton Resources Inc. (AAN:TSX-V) (\"Aton\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to update investors on further exploration results from its Abu Marawat Concession (\"Abu Marawat\" or the \"Concession\"), in the Eastern Desert of Egypt, including channel sampling results from the new Semna drill discovery and the final reverse circulation percussion (\"RC\") drilling results from the Zeno prospect.Highlights:7 mechanical saw-cut channel sampling profiles have been completed at the Semna prospect, for a total length of 331m, along exposed rock faces and drill road cuttings. The channel profiles were sampled at nominal 2m intervals. Significant mineralised intersections from this programme include:2.80 g/t Au over a 39.3m interval (profile SMC-065), associated with shallow-dipping stockwork veins on the Central Vein Zone;2.60 g/t Au over a 39.3m interval (profile SMC-066), associated with exposed mineralisation on the eastern extension of the Main Vein zone; and3.02 g/t Au over a 21.6m interval (profile SMC-069), associated with a narrow footwall structure to the Main Vein zone;At the Zeno prospect 21 RC holes were drilled for a total of 3,216m, with the programme designed to test a number of different mineralised veins and structures which had been identified at surface. Significant mineralised intersections from this programme include:9.77 g/t Au over a 3m interval, from a down hole depth of 42m (hole ZEP-005);4.16 g/t Au over a 6m interval, from a down hole depth of 107m (hole ZEP-020); and2.60 g/t Au over a 5m interval, from a down hole depth of 74m, and 8.63 g/t Au over a 1m interval, from a down hole depth of 87m (both from hole ZEP-016).\"We are pleased to announce more very positive exploration results from our new Semna discovery today, this time the results from a recent surface channel sampling programme\" said Tonno Vahk, CEO. \"The results show broad zones of good grade mineralisation outcropping at surface, and appear to confirm the continuity of the high grade mineralisation identified in the 2023 RC drilling all the way up to surface. Perhaps most importantly the results continue to support the interpretation of a major structural system at Semna with high grad...
