TORONTO, Aug. 27, 2013
TORONTO, Aug. 27, 2013 /CNW/ - Atlanta Gold Inc. (TSXV:
ATG; OTCQX: ATLDF) (the "Company") announces that the
Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Atlanta Gold
Corporation ("AGC") and all parties to the compliance
litigation brought under the United
States Federal Water Pollution Control Act ("Clean Water
Act") have agreed to a payment plan whereby AGC will pay the
previously
imposed US$2 million penalty over a
five year period.
The parties to the Clean Water Act litigation, including the
U.S.
Attorney as intervenor in the matter, have signed an Unopposed
Motion
for Consent Judgment and approved a proposed Consent Judgment
for
signature by the Court. The Motion and correlating Consent
Judgment
provide that AGC will pay the US$2
million penalty in quarterly
installments over a five year period, with the installment
amounts
increasing on an annual basis. The unpaid balance of the
penalty will
bear interest at the rate of 0.1% per annum and will be secured
by
recording the Consent Judgment against AGC's Amity property located
in
Boise, Idaho and by a security
interest, granted to the U.S Attorney's
office, in four generators owned by AGC located on the Amity
property.
AGC has made an initial payment of US$50,000 pursuant to the provisions
of the Motion.
The Motion and proposed Consent Judgment have not been filed, as
the
parties are awaiting an Order from the Court approving the U.S.
Attorney's intervention in the case, to which all parties
stipulated.
Following the filing of the Motion and proposed Consent
Judgment, it
is anticipated that the Court will sign and enter the Consent
Judgment
to the payment plan.
