- 6.06 g/t Au, 59.6 g/t Ag, 6.72 g/t AuEq, 1.02% Cu, and 1.24% Zn over a 17.30-meter interval on the CVZ, from 32.80 meters downhole depth (hole AMD-146).
- 4.14 g/t Au, 40.7 g/t Ag, 4.59 g/t AuEq, 0.85% Cu, and 0.17% Zn over a 13.90-meter interval on the CVZ, from 13.30 meters downhole depth (hole AMD-149).
- 3.07 g/t Au, 33.7 g/t Ag, 3.44 g/t AuEq, 0.45% Cu, and additional results pending.
These results are part of Aton’s ongoing exploration efforts within the retained exploration areas of its Abu Marawat Concession. The company’s operations are headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, and it is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange.
