Aton encouraged by high-grade North Ridge mineralisation of Rodruin
Egypt-focussed gold explorer Aton Resources’ Phase 2 drilling of the previously untested North Ridge site of the Rodruin prospect, which started in November 2021,
has to date, resulted in gold mineralisation of 8.74 g/t and 29.4 g/t being discovered over 12 m.
In 2018, Aton undertook a 50-hole Phase 1 reverse circulation (RC) percussion drilling programme at Rodruin – about 18 km east of the company’s Hamama West mineral deposit – returning numerous mineralised intersections, including 36 m at a grade of 12.47 g/t of gold and 9.3 g/t of silver at a depth of 5 m.
