Aton Resources Inc

Aton Resources Inc. (TSX‐V:AAN) is exploring potentially economic gold, silver and base metal deposits in the Central Eastern Desert of Egypt with the aim of developing mines. The Company’s 100% owned concessions, Abu Marawat and Fatiri, between them cover 2,772 km2 of under explored ground. Evidence of gold and copper mining in the concessions dates the many surface workings to pre‐historic possibly Old Kingdom through Ptolemaic, Roman and Early Arab times. Three historic gold mines occur within the two concessions: British miners produced gold at Sir Bakis, Semna and Abu Zawal into the 1920s. Much of the gold vein mineralization in the district is orogenic related, quartz‐carbonate type and is associated with major shear‐zones. Centamin’s Sukari gold mine is located 400 km to the south of Abu Marawat, in the same belt. The Abu Marawat and Fatiri Concessions cover a Proterozoic Pan‐African greenstone belt. This is part of the Arabian Nubian Shield that also occurs in Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Eritrea and Ethiopia. Significant VMS deposits in this belt includes Jabel Sayid (Saudi Arabia); Bisha Main and Harena (Eritrea); Hassai, plus Hadal Awatib (Sudan) and Emba Derho, Debarwa plus Adi Nefas (Eritrea). Alexander Nubia’s Hamama gold‐silver VMS is geologically similar to these VMS deposits. Similar geological settings to the Arabian Nubian Shield include the greenstone belts of the Yilgarn (Western Australia), Abitibi (Quebec) and Birimian (West Africa). The Arabian Nubian Shield is most similar in age to the latter.
