About Aton Resources Inc.

Aton is focused on its 100-per-cent-owned Abu Marawat concession, located in Egypt's Arabian Nubian Shield, approximately 200 kilometres north of AngloGold Ashanti's world-class Sukari gold mine. Aton has identified numerous gold and base metal exploration targets at the concession, including the Hamama deposit in the west, the Abu Marawat deposit in the northeast and the Rodruin deposit in the south of the concession. Two historic British gold mines are also located on the concession at Semna and Sir Bakis. Aton has identified several distinct geological trends within the concession, which display potential for the development of a variety of styles of precious and base metal mineralization. The Abu Marawat exploitation lease is 57.66 square kilometres in size, covering the Hamama West and Rodruin mineral deposits, was established in January, 2024, and is valid for an initial period of 20 years. The concession also includes an additional 255.0 square kilometres of exploration areas, retained for a further period of four years from January, 2024. The concession is located in an area of excellent infrastructure, with a four-lane highway, a 220-kilovolt power line and a water pipeline in close proximity, and international airports at Hurghada and Luxor.
