Atlanta Gold Inc. Stakes Additional Ground in Idaho at Rocky Bar, Quadrupling its Land Position

Toronto, Ontario – Atlanta Gold Inc. (TSX: ATG) – announces that it has filed location notices on  contiguous lode unpatented claims at Rocky Bar which cover approximately 7,020 acres (10.97 square miles). Staking of these additional claims increases the total area of the Company’s land holdings in Idaho by 437% to 9,101 acres (15.78 square miles).

These new claims are located just 17 miles south west of the Company’s Atlanta gold property in Idaho and are regarded as being within Atlanta’s field of interest. Located in the heart of the historic Rocky Bar mining district, these strategic claims (the “Property”) were acquired by staking to accumulate viable open ground in and around Rocky Bar. The Property has the potential to host significant gold and silver mineralization and it has excellent logistics and infrastructure including access to water and county-maintained roads. An area location map will be available on the Company’s web site at www.atgoldinc.com

An estimated 250,000 ounces of gold have been produced from both lode and placer sources at Rocky Bar since the 1860s. For competitive purposes, the Company has been staking the Property while continuing to advance its Atlanta gold project toward production. A detailed site investigation and resource evaluation program is scheduled to be conducted this year to further evaluate the mineral potential of the Property.
