Pics from Rodruin !Quote from Javier Orduna Exploration Manager, Aton Resources, Hamama Camp, Egypt:
The panoramic shot from the NW shows the North Ridge on the left, you can see how steep it is at the top if you look carefully. On the right hand side is the South Ridge, vertical elevation from the top of the main buttress down to the floor of the central valley is about 80m. At the right hand side you can see the ancient miners tracks picked out in the sunlight.

The second shot is a closer view of the northern flank of the South Ridge, you can see how steep it is, and how much is obscured by scree. The main peak on the left is the Central Peak of the South Ridge, and towards the right is the western hill, which hosts Aladdins Slot and the main area of ancient workings, some of which you can see if you look carefully below the col. Again it gives you an idea of the size and scale of the project, and the amount of hard work the team has put in to comprehensively surface sample the area.
