TESTING UNDERWAY FOLLOWING INSTALLATION OF PASSIVE FILTRATION SYSTEM AT THE PILOT WATER TREATMENT FACILITY IN ATLANTA, IDAHO

Following the completion last week of the installation of the passive filtration system at the pilot water treatment facility (PWTF) on site at Atlanta Gold Inc.'s Atlanta property in Elmore county, Idaho, testing of the filtration system has begun by the contracted engineering firm, Centra Consulting Inc. While initial testing has been quite positive, a 45-day period is required to fully test the system during which twice-weekly water samples will be taken and sent for lab analysis. This should be completed by mid-December, at which time Centra will certify the efficacy of the system.

The PWTF filtration plant utilizes a proprietary technology that is a relatively low-cost, energy-efficient, safe solution to water treatment issues common to many others in the state of Idaho. The company will license a second party to make this system available to others that have similar arsenic issues.

"The identification and installation of this facility represents a significant step forward for the Atlanta gold project," commented president and chief executive officer of Atlanta Gold, Ernie Simmons. "We now believe that the issue of water pollution has been resolved. We continue to progressively improve our environmental record, as well as the economics of the Atlanta project. The co-operation of the responsible agencies, the work of employees, contractors and consultants, who all worked to successfully complete this innovative approach is very much appreciated."
