Geodrill secures contract for 10 000 m of drilling at Aton’s Egypt concession

TSX-V-listed Aton Resources has signed a contract with TSX-listed exploration drilling company Geodrill to undertake a 10 000 m programme of reverse circulation (RC) percussion drilling at the Abu Marawat Concession, in the Eastern Desert of Egypt.

“We are delighted to announce that we have signed a contract with Geodrill for 10 000 m of RC drilling at Abu Marawat. This programme has been years in the making, and we are really excited to now finally be getting ready to drill some of our highly prospective regional targets,” says interim CEO Tonno Vahk.

“We are also pleased to be working with Geodrill on this programme. [Geodrill] entered the Egyptian market two years ago . . . [and is] very much an expanding global player and well established as one of Africa’s leading drilling companies,” he adds.

“We have been busy the last couple of months preparing for this programme, with excavators and loaders working on access roads and drill pads around the licence area, ahead of starting the drilling in early May.
