Aton will mine for gold in the Eastern Desert\u2019s Hamama region under a 20-year license with an additional 10-year option period. The company will also retain rights to explore in the Abu Marawat concession area in the Arabian-Nubian Shield, north of Sukari mine, where existing player Centamin is operating. The government last awarded a gold mining license in 2005 to Centamin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The approval is pending completion by the authorities of several procedures<\/strong>, including a review of an economic feasibility study, <a href=\"https:\/\/alborsaanews.com\/2020\/02\/15\/1296623\">the local press says<\/a>, quoting an anonymous industry source. A license can then be issued, but only after a bill makes its way through cabinet and the House of Representatives, the source said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Testament to easier rules:<\/strong> Egypt\u2019s last mining tender three years ago was met by lackluster investor appetite due to its uncompetitive commercial terms.
