Update Photos -- Aladdin's Hill Hello all, please enjoy a couple more photographs of the ongoing work at Rodruin. Both photos taken June 28th, 2018 showing 2 excavators working on drill access road and pad preparation at Aladdin’s Hill.
The first photo shows a saddle in the ridgeline, where the road will make a switchback to heading further up the hill. A striking desert scene:

The second photo shows the same scene from a different angle. I believe the excavator in foreground is working on a drill pad and the other one is breaking a road up to the top of Aladdin's Hill. Access is looking good here for exploration drilling! See the photo:

Javier Ordua, Exploration Manager for Aton Resources said, "It is encouraging to see the dark chocolate brown gossan, which is strongly suggestive of mineralisation, in the area where the lower of the 2 excavators is working. Note that while carbonate rocks were outcropping at surface here there was little or no outcropping gossan, which gives us confidence that we are likely to encounter more mineralisation in this immediate area than was necessarily obvious at surface."
As in recent news https://www.atonresources.com/news/2018/aton-announces-the-results-of-surface-and-underground-sampling-at-zeno-with-selective-grab-samples-returning-assays-of-up-to/ Aton anticipates drilling at Rodruin to start in July, 2018. Will Aton collar their first hole at Rodruin in gossan? Watch for more soon!
