Canada’s Aton Resources began last Monday drilling at the Rodruin gold mine prospect in Egypt’s Arabian-Nubian Shield, the company announced last week. The first phase of the program will see the company drilling 4,000-6,000 meters deep for preliminary tests on gold mineralization, and is expected to take two months to complete. “The start of our Phase 1 exploration drilling programme at Rodruin is a milestone for the Company as I believe Rodruin to be one of the most prospective undrilled gold targets in Egypt. This drilling programme will be the first test of our belief that Rodruin can become a high grade and bulk mineable gold project,” said Aton CEO Mark Campbell.
