ATLANTA GOLD IMPROVES ITS WATER FILTRATION TREATMENT SYSTEM

Atlanta Gold Inc.'s subsidiary, Atlanta Gold Corp. (AGC), has successfully modified its passive water filtration system (PWFS) located near its Atlanta project, by adding two additional solid removal filters. The additional filters increase the capacity of the PWFS to treat the effluent discharge emanating from the historic (1917) 900 crosscut and adit.

The installation of the filters was completed in July, 2013, and successfully removed the inert sediments thereby improving the efficiency of the final filter. The new filters were test operated in parallel and in series. The results of the tests were evaluated as the bedded materials used for treatment matured. Recent test results with the two cells in series verified successful removal of 99.62 per cent of arsenic and continued compliance with the United States Clean Water Act.

This modification of the PWFS eliminates the need to construct the previously approved 200,000-gallon East Pond cited in AGC's supplemental plan of operations (SPOO) which was approved by the U.S. Forest Service on Aug. 2, 2012.

"The initial results from the changes to the PWFS are certainly beneficial and are cause for the company to expect further improved water management and continued compliance with the Clean Water Act," said Ernie Simmons, chief executive officer of Atlanta Gold. "Innovative action was needed to install a system within limited space, with reduced time of exposure of water to extreme weather conditions and with improved capacity, so as to maintain compliance with the Clean Water Act. The completion of the approved SPOO will allow the company to apply best management practices (BMP) and ultimately achieve control of the flow of water -- thereby substantially reducing the risk to all stakeholders, with full implementation of the approved SPOO scheduled to be completed prior to Dec. 31, 2014."
