VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / ACCESS Newswire / October 2, 2025 / Aton Resources Inc. (TSX-V:AAN) ("Aton" or the "Company") updates investors on the final results from its diamond drilling programme at the Abu Marawat deposit ("Abu Marawat"), located within the retained exploration areas of the Company's Abu Marawat Concession (the "Concession") in the Eastern Desert of Egypt.

"This is yet another series of exceedingly positive drill results from the Abu Marawat deposit, in our retained exploration areas" said Tonno Vahk, CEO. "We continue to push ahead on the ground with metallurgical and geotechnical diamond drilling currently ongoing at Hamama in relation to the Hamama West PFS. We are also back RC drilling at Abu Marawat, and have completed the first of 2 planned biodiversity surveys over the Concession, as part of the establishment of the environmental baseline for the ESIA which will cover the entire Abu Marawat Concession. We also have a programme of metallurgical testwork ongoing in the UK on bulk samples from the Abu Marawat deposit, so we continue to push ahead on all aspects of the PFS being conducted by Wardell Armstrong International, now part of the SLR Consulting group ("SLR"). We are also progressing our discussions with the Egyptian Mineral Resources and Mining Industries Authority ("MRMIA"), formerly the Egyptian Mineral Resources Authority, and the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources ("MoP"), as we intend to include the Abu Marawat and Semna deposits in the PFS, and we look forward to positively concluding these discussions in the near future. We continue to work towards the goal of establishing multiple gold- silver mining operations at the Abu Marawat Concession, and to generating real value for Aton's shareholders and stakeholders, our partners at MRMIA and MoP, and for the people of Egypt."
Abu Marawat gold-silver-copper-zinc deposit
The Abu Marawat gold-silver-copper-zinc deposit is located approximately 35km northeast of the Hamama West deposit and 10km north-northeast of the Semna gold mine project, and is accessed via a well maintained desert track from the Qena-Safaga highway, approximately 25km to the north (Figure 1). On March 1, 2012 Aton Resources, when formerly named Alexander Nubia International Inc, announced a maiden Inferred Mineral Resource at Abu Marawat, prepared by Roscoe Postle Associates Inc., in compliance with the requirements set out in Canada's National Instrument 43-101. The resource was subsequently restated in an updated Technical Report without amendment (see news release dated January 24, 2017), and which is available online at Aton's website at https://atonresources.com/investors/reports-and-presentations. This Inferred Mineral Resource was based on 98 diamond drill holes totalling 19,573 metres. 19 of these holes were drilled by a former property owner, Minex Minerals Egypt, a wholly owned subsidiary of Greenwich Resources Plc during the late 1980's, and the remainder were drilled by Aton in 2011. The Inferred Mineral Resource comprises 2.9 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.75 g/t Au, 29.3 g/t Ag, 0.77% Cu and 1.15% Zn, containing 162 thousand ounces of gold, 2.7 million ounces of silver, 49 million lbs of copper, and 73 million lbs of zinc, and was based on net smelter return ("NSR") cut-off grades.
Figure 1: Geology plan of the Abu Marawat Concession, showing the location of the Abu Marawat deposit
The polymetallic mineralisation at Abu Marawat is interpreted as being mesothermal in origin, and occurs in a series of discrete and roughly parallel N-S to NNW-SSE trending veins and structures, of which the Fin Vein and the CVZ are the most significant, hosted within a sequence of intensely hydrothermally altered, felsic metavolcanic rocks (Figure 2). The Fin Vein and the CVZ are about 50-100m apart and have been traced for at least 800m in surface outcrop and drill holes. Aton's previous drilling has demonstrated that these structures extend to at least 200m in depth. The bulk of the Inferred Mineral Resource at the Abu Marawat deposit encompasses parts of the CVZ and the Fin Vein, but there are also other subparallel mineralised veins to the east and to the west of these structures, such as the J Vein, the JVZ structure, and the Valley Vein zone (Figure 2).
Figure 2: Geology plan of the Abu Marawat area, showing the location of Aton drill holes
The mineralisation at Abu Marawat comprises a series of steep to near vertical finely brecciated quartz-carbonate-sulphide "veins". At surface the Fin Vein and the CVZ are expressed by quartz-rich gossans, and all the larger structures display development of intense wallrock alteration in outcrop. Several of the veins, notably the CVZ, were mined at surface in ancient times, apparently primarily for copper. The mineralised system at Abu Marawat currently remains open both laterally and at depth.
Further to the north, the Abu Marawat deposit appears to be truncated by a large WNW-ESE trending fault postulated to run beneath wadi sediments. To the east a prominent ridge composed of altered ultramafic rocks is thought to represent a significant geological terrane boundary (Figure 2).

Abu Marawat diamond drilling programme
The diamond drill programme started in June 2024, and has now been completed with 113 holes (holes AMD-101 to AMD-213) drilled for a total of 9,642.7 metres. During the programme holes have predominantly been drilled horizontally or at shallow angles to test previously undrilled near-surface mineralisation.
Assay results are now available for the final 18 holes, AMD-196 to AMD-213, as well as from a re-entry of hole AMD-102. The collar details of these holes are provided in Appendix A. The holes were drilled to test a number of structures including the CVZ, the Fin Vein, as well as the J Vein and the JVZ structures. 5 of the holes (AMD-206 to AMD-210) were drilled on the CVZ and the Fin Vein, specifically for the collection of whole PQ3 core sized samples for comminution testwork.

Table 1: Selected intersections from the Abu Marawat diamond drilling programme, holes AMD-102 (re-entry) and AMD-196 to AMD-213
The final tranche of holes from the diamond drilling programme were designed to test a number of targets, and also to collect whole PQ3 sized core samples for comminution and metallurgical testwork. Holes AMD-196 to AMD-202 were drilled from the western side of the deposit to test the J Vein, the JVZ structure and in some cases also the Fin Vein. Holes AMD-102 (a re-entry of an early hole in the programme), and AMD-203 to AMD-205 were drilled primarily to test the Fin Vein. Holes AMD-206 and AMD-210 were drilled with the specific objective of collecting samples for metallurgical testing, and the final 3 holes of the programme AMD-211 to AMD-213 were drilled at steeper angles and were designed specifically to be twinned by RC holes to be drilled later.
Holes AMD-196 to AMD-202 all continued to intersect sporadic, narrow zones of mineralisation associated with the J Vein and the JVZ structure, as defined earlier in the diamond drilling programme (see news releases dated November 7, 2024 and March 11, 2025). 2 of the holes did intersect significant high grade mineralisation on the JVZ structure, however, returning mineralised intersections of 39.55 g/t Au, 161 g/t Ag, 41.35 g/t AuEq, 0.70% Cu and 2.03% Zn over a 3.90m interval, from 72.0m downhole depth (hole AMD-201) and 8.18 g/t Au, 91.8 g/t Ag, 9.20 g/t AuEq, 0.51% Cu and 1.09% Zn over a 2.40m interval, from 68.3m downhole depth (hole AMD-200). These results illustrate the potential for incremental high grade mineralisation on the JVZ structure, away from the 2 main zones at Abu Marawat, the CVZ and the Fin Vein, as well as on the J Vein which has also returned an intersection of 44.59 g/t Au and 103 g/t Ag over a 1.60m interval (see news release dated July 9, 2025).
The drilling returned further high grade polymetallic gold-silver-copper-zinc intersections from the southern part of the Fin Vein at reasonable mineable widths including 9.84 g/t Au, 311 g/t Ag, 13.30 g/t AuEq, 0.69% Cu and 8.55% Zn over a 2.60m interval, from 63.5m downhole depth (hole AMD-205), and 5.35 g/t Au, 131 g/t Ag, 6.80 g/t AuEq, 0.51% Cu and 6.38% Zn over a 3.80m interval, from 79.3m downhole depth (hole AMD-204), which are in line with results from the previous Fin Vein drilling completed earlier in the programme (see news release dated November 7, 2024). Hole AMD-213 intersected low grade mineralisation on the Fin Vein where it appears to be pinching out at its southern end.
Several holes returned wide intersections of gold-silver-copper-zinc mineralisation from the CVZ, including the 2 holes drilled specifically for the collection of metallurgical samples, AMD-209 and AMD-210. These intersections included 9.63 g/t Au, 86.5 g/t Ag, 10.59 g/t AuEq, 1.58% Cu and 1.40% Zn over a 17.70m interval, from 17.7m downhole depth (hole AMD-209); 5.61 g/t Au, 79.0 g/t Ag, 6.49 g/t AuEq, 2.54% Cu and 0.37% Zn over a 16.90m interval, from 26.5m downhole depth (hole AMD-212), and 2.35 g/t Au, 36.6 g/t Ag, 2.76 g/t AuEq, 0.22% Cu and 0.97% Zn over a 16.25m interval, from 58.65m downhole depth (hole AMD-210).
Approximately 6m of whole PQ3 sized core was removed in its entirety from the mineralised zones of both of the CVZ metallurgical sampling holes, AMD-209 and AMD-210, and dispatched to SLR's metallurgical testwork laboratory as 2 separate bulk samples for comminution testwork. The head assay grades reported by SLR for the 2 bulk samples were allocated to these sampled intervals (Table 2). The remainder of the mineralised sample intervals were sampled according to standard sampling procedures. These head assay grades were combined with the standard geochemical analyses in the calculation of the mineralised intervals for holes AMD-209 and AMD-210.
The entire mineralised sections of the Fin Vein were removed from holes AMD-206 and AMD-208, and were combined into a single bulk sample, and dispatched to the laboratory, so no intersections can be reported for these 2 holes. Details and head assays of the comminution test bulk samples are reported in Table 2 below, for reference.

The Fin Vein was not present in hole AMD-207, and this hole was not sampled. The Fin Vein is interpreted as having been faulted out in this location.
Activity Update
The Company is looking forward to soon concluding its discussions with its JV partners MRMIA and MoP, with regards to the proposed changes to the Hamama West Pre-Feasibility Study (see news release dated May 20, 2025). The Company intends to change the focus from the originally envisaged heap leach processing route, to a modular CIL processing route to also allow for the sequenced processing of mineralisation from the Semna and Abu Marawat deposits.
The Company has engaged SLR to undertake a programme of metallurgical testwork on the different Abu Marawat mineralisation types (see news release dated May 20, 2025), consisting of head assays, comminution testing, gold and silver leach testwork, and flotation and SART (sulphidisation, acidification, recycling and thickening) testwork on both the oxide and sulphide mineralisation. The samples were delivered to SLR's lab in Cornwall, UK in mid-July 2025, and the testwork programme is progressing on schedule.
A c. 5,000 metre programme of RC drilling programme was commenced at Abu Marawat in late July 2025, and is expected to be completed in October 2025. The Company expects to be able to release the first results of this programme in the coming weeks, as well as the final results from the phase 3 RC drilling programme at Semna.
A short programme of diamond drilling is currently underway at Hamama, designed primarily for the collection of metallurgical samples for a new programme of metallurgical testwork that is being planned for the Hamama deposit. The programme also included a series of 10 geotechnical holes, drilled for pit wall stability assessment at Hamama West and the Crocs Nose zone. Approximately 115 drill core samples from this programme have been collected and sent to Fugro SAE in Cairo for a programme of geotechnical laboratory testing.
Environmental monitoring programmes for the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment ("ESIA"), which has been expanded to cover the entire Abu Marawat Concession are ongoing. A Concession-wide biodiversity survey was recently undertaken by GreenPlus Environmental Solutions Co., a local Cairo-based environmental consultancy, who have been engaged to undertake fieldwork at the Concession, under the supervision of SLR, who are managing the ESIA.
Sampling and analytical procedures
The Abu Marawat diamond drill holes were drilled at a combination of either HQ3 size (61.1mm diameter) and/or PQ3 size (83mm diameter). Core was loaded into metal core boxes by the drill crew under supervision of Aton geologists. The core was metre marked onsite at the Abu Marawat camp, with basic geotechnical measurements (total core recovery, solid core recovery, and rock quality designation) undertaken by Aton geologists, as well as specific gravity measurements. It was also photographed in both wet and dry states at Abu Marawat. The core was then carefully packed and transported to the Rodruin exploration camp, where it was geologically logged by senior Aton geologists, and marked up for cutting and sampling at the Rodruin core farm. Samples were typically selected over nominal 1m intervals, but as determined by the logged lithologies. The core was half-cut by Aton staff at the onsite Rodruin sample preparation facility. After the core had been cut, the relevant cut intervals were then photographed again.
The split half-core samples were collected and bagged up in cloth bags, weighed and crushed to -4mm onsite, and split to a nominal c. 500-1,000g sample size. The coarse crushed reject samples are retained onsite at the Rodruin sample preparation facility.
QAQC samples were inserted into the sample runs at a rate of approximately 1 certified reference material (or "standard" sample) every 30 samples, 1 blank sample every 15 samples, and 1 duplicate split sample every 15 samples.
The dried, crushed and split samples were shipped to ALS Minerals sample preparation laboratory at Marsa Alam, Egypt, where they were pulverised to a size fraction of better than 85% passing 75 microns. From this pulverised material a further sub-sample was split off with a nominal c. 100g size, which was shipped on to ALS Minerals at Rosia Montana, Romania for geochemical analysis. The reject pulp material was returned to the sample preparation facility at Rodruin, where it is also retained onsite
The samples were analysed for gold by fire assay (30g charge) with an atomic absorption spectroscopy ("AAS") finish (analytical code Au-AA23). Any high grade gold samples (>10 g/t Au) were re-analysed using analytical code Au-GRA21 (also fire assay, 30g charge, with a gravimetric finish).
Samples were also analysed for silver, copper, lead and zinc using an aqua regia digest followed by an AAS finish (analytical code AA45). Any high grade silver and base metal samples (Ag >100 g/t, and Cu, Pb or Zn >10,000ppm or >1%) were re-analysed using the ore grade technique AA46 (also an aqua regia digest followed by an AAS finish).
About Aton Resources Inc. Aton Resources Inc. (AAN: TSX-V) is focused on its 100% owned Abu Marawat Concession ("the Concession"), located in Egypt's Arabian-Nubian Shield, approximately 200 km 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.
