TORONTO, July 7, 2014 /CNW/ - Atlanta Gold Inc. (TSXV: ATG; OTCQX: ATLDF) (the "Company") has completed the maintenance of Forest Service Road 207 (FS207) which in the future is planned to be the egress (exit) road from the Atlanta Project's operations. The main ingress (entry) road is planned to be constructed in 2015 which will have a more modest grade and will be a year round gated access.
"The current use by the Company of the completed FS207 road is to provide access to exploration trenching planned for 2014 at the Atlanta Project, while providing a safer route for both the public and the Company. In the event of a forest fire or loss of the West river exit from the Town of Atlanta, a bypass route out the East side of FS207 will be maintained by the Company. "As stewards of the land and reflecting our commitment to providing maximum environmental protection, the planned Gold Claim Road and firebreak is the ingress route of the future - planned for 2015," said Wm. Ernest Simmons, President and CEO.
A bulk sample at the Atlanta Project will be excavated by Knife River Corporation and processed on site by the Company, using the test gravity recovery system as was fully described in the Company's June 10, 2014 news release.
Wm. Ernest Simmons, President and CEO states: "We are delighted to have a team that has made all the necessary road improvements in a short time. Our next step is the excavation and processing of a larger bulk sample of gold mineralized material that is expected to be completed by the end of November 2014. Our dedicated team has made this possible."
