ATLANTA GOLD INC. - 2012 WORK PROGRAM - BULK SAMPLE

Atlanta Gold Inc.'s 2012 work program previously announced on June 6, 2012, will include excavating a bulk sample of approximately 150 tons of mineralized material from existing trenches along the surface of the Atlanta shear zone for processing off site. Based only on the amount of mineralized material sampled in the 2008, 2009 and 2010 trenching programs, the average grades for individual trenches within the area of interest ranged from 1.92 to 26.16 grams per tonne Au (0.056 to 0.763 ounce per ton Au) and averaged 4.91 g/t Au (0.143 ounce per ton Au). The average grade of the bulk sample is anticipated to approximate the weighted average sample grade of the trenches in the attached table selected for the bulk sample.

The expected bulk sample results will pave the way for the planned 2012 exploration expanded trench evaluation and test processing of oxide and sulphide gold-bearing zones and further evaluation and test processing in subsequent years to determine the following:

• Continuity of grade both horizontally and vertically;
• Mining method and structural continuity;
• Selective mining protocol and grade control;
• Effective and efficient material handling;
• A processing flowsheet that will determine ultimate beneficiating procedures;
• Scientific information required to meet the highest environmental quality and standards possible now and in the future.

The company plans to begin the 2012 work program as soon as additional financing is obtained.
