Aton Resources
Wardell Armstrong International was engaged to undertake a Preliminary Technical and Economic Study of the Hamama West oxide gold deposit in Egypt for Aton Resources Inc to support a Declaration of Commerciality. The study focused on the oxide cap of the larger Hamama West deposit with an update of the Mineral Resource estimate being reported within the Report. The optimisation of the open pit, and mine design, was undertaken based on mineral processing testwork and operating costs parameters derived from first principles. The Heap Leach Facility was located in the wadi 3km from the open pit with water for the heap leach operation assumed to be sourced from a local aquifer. Wardell Armstrong International provided support to Aton in their submission to the Egyptian authorities of the Declaration of Commerciality of the Hamama West oxide deposited as reported by Aton on 31 May 2018
