NEWS RELEASE

Atlanta Gold Announces
Positive Results from Preliminary Metallurgical Testwork


Toronto, Ontario ? Atlanta Gold Inc.
(TSXV: ATG; OTCQX: ATLDF
) today announced positive metallurgical test results from 11 tons of bulk
stock material previously washed by a sluice/jig plant located at the Knife River
Corporation?s facility in Boise, Idaho (see news release dated September 26,
2012) with the objective of obtaining 25 lbs of concentrate for refining
evaluations and estimating costs.

The initial bulk sample of 107 tons processed by Knife River in August
2012 recovered 20% of the gold values from an average feed of 0.051 ounces per
ton (opt) Au. Reprocessing in June 2013 of 11 tons of the materials remaining
from the initial bulk sample and grinding to -20 mesh liberated additional gold
and heavy metals produced a concentrate of 18.896 opt Au which was verified by
an independent mine laboratory. Of the total gold, 66.6% was recovered from
standard cyanidation. Using grind, roast and cyanidation, overall recovery
rates increased to 88.9%.

Wm. Ernest Simmons, President & CEO commented: ?Additional lab work
will be needed to optimize grinding, roasting and cyanidation at a selected
toll recovery facility located out of state. We are very pleased with this
initial result which demonstrates that with some fine tuning on the gravity
test we will be able to maximize the recovery of the metals from onsite
concentrates that are of a quality that justify toll processing and refining costs.?

The objective for Final Recovery testing is to determine if the onsite
gravity recovery system would produce a concentrate using only water as a
medium. This testing supports the hypothesis that gravity separation is a
viable option.

Bulk stock material was fed by hopper conveyor feeder to a ball mill and
the outflow slurry delivered to a custom sluicing system with an 8 foot long spreading
flume and into a 30 inch wide by 4 foot long sluice box containing low profile
riffles.

The sluice concentrates were collected after each 2,000 lb run. The
concentrates were taken back to the shop, screened through a 20-mesh screen and
the -20 mesh was upgraded/cleaned on a 4x8 shaker table, producing 25 lbs of
heavy concentrate obtained from processing 11 tons of the feed material.


The +20 mesh, shaker table tails, -20 mesh sluice concentrate, head feed
samples, sluice tailings and overflow slimes were saved, dried, sealed and sent
for assay.


Notable amounts of fine, free gold were visible in the concentrate from
approximately to -20 mesh down to the finest gold the human eye can detect.
