VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 01, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aton Resources Inc. (AAN: TSX-V)
(“Aton” or the “Corporation") today announces that, further to its press release dated February
15, 2019, it intends to extend its non-brokered private placement financing of up to 100,000,000 units (the
“Units”) at $0.05 per Unit for total proceeds of up to $5,000,000 (the “Offering”). Each Unit
will consist of one common share in the capital of the Corporation (a “Common Share”) and one half of one common
share purchase warrant (each whole warrant a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will be transferable and will entitle the

expected to occur on or about March 31, 2019, and is subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”).
The net proceeds from the Offering will be used to fund continued exploration and development activities at Aton’s Abu
Marawat concession, located in Egypt. All currency amounts are in Canadian dollars.
“Following on from the game-changing announcement that the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources and
the Egyptian Mineral Resources Authority are taking wide ranging changes in Egypt’s mining regime to attract new exploration
investors. Along with their granting us an extension at our Abu Marawat Concession, we wanted all investors to have the ability to
participate in our financing.” Stated Mark Campbell President and CEO. “We are on the path to achieving
our goals, of our exploration through an aggressive drilling program this year at Rodruin and the highest priority of our 17 other
targets. These are very exciting developments for Aton and its 2019 exploration program for our shareholders, and we want to give
everyone the opportunity to share in these historic and exciting developments and exploration and development program in
2019.”
