VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aton Resources Inc. (AAN: TSX-V) (“Aton” or the “Company") is very pleased to update investors on the latest tranche of results from the Phase 2 diamond drilling programme at its advanced Rodruin gold exploration project. Rodruin is located in the Company’s 100% owned Abu Marawat Concession (“Abu Marawat” or the “Concession”), in the Eastern Desert of Egypt.

Highlights:

• Diamond drilling is ongoing at Rodruin, with 21 drill holes having been completed to date, ROD-048 and ROD-051 to ROD-070, for a total of 1,992 metres;
• Drill holes ROD-056 to ROD-061 were drilled to test the Central Buttress Zone, an outcropping body of gossanous and mineralised carbonate rock;
• Drill hole ROD-056 was mineralised over its entire length from collar to end of hole and returned a mineralised intersection of 129.50m grading 1.00 g/t Au and 8.8 g/t Ag;
• Other drill holes also returned wide mineralised intersections including 86.60m grading 0.76 g/t Au and 6.3 g/t Ag (hole ROD-057), 45.93m grading 0.93 g/t Au and 3.8 g/t Ag (hole ROD-059), and 85.40m grading 0.66 g/t Au and 10.2 g/t Ag (hole ROD-061);
• These results continue to confirm that a substantial block of predominantly gossanous carbonate hosted oxide gold mineralisation outcrops at surface at the Central Buttress Zone at Rodruin.
