Atlanta Gold switches focus to Neal Property; Flooding impedes road access to Atlanta Project

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES  NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

TORONTO, Sept. 3, 2014 /CNW/ - Atlanta Gold Inc. (TSXV: ATG; OTCQX: ATLDF) today announced that due to the heavy rain and severe flooding through portions of Elmore County, Idaho, the Company will move its bulk sample efforts to the Neal Property instead of working on the Atlanta Project, as previously announced. Elmore County issued the declaration of emergency on August 12^th.  Governor of Idaho Butch Otter declared a state of emergency for Elmore County on Wednesday, August 27^th. 

Access to the Atlanta Project has been severely inhibited making the movement of equipment in or out of the property impossible. In the past few weeks, Atlanta's team has worked on public road access, improving the mine drainage, replacing pond liners, as well as replacing the filters on the Passive Water Treatment Facility (PWTF).  The Company continues to maintain compliance with the drinking water standards as set by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality and other environmental maintenance.

"Road damage to the Middle Fork of the Boise River has forced us to move operations to the Neal Property several months earlier than planned," commented Wm. Ernest Simmons, President and CEO. "While this move affects Atlanta Gold's planned operations for the short term, we are making the necessary adjustments to accommodate this temporary inconvenience. The move will be completed prior to the onset of winter which would cause closure of the only year-round access should repairs to the Middle Fork of the Boise River road not be complete. The Middle Fork is the only winter road to Atlanta that has been maintained in the past".
