Atlanta Gold Announces Updates on the Neal Property and Completion of Loan Financing

TORONTO, July 14, 2014 /CNW/ - Atlanta Gold Inc. (TSXV: ATG; OTCQX: ATLDF) (the "Company") announces that all submissions necessary to obtain approvals to begin exploration excavation on the Neal Property have been made, with operations expected to begin in early July 2014. The Neal Property is contiguous to Forest Service Road 189, 15 miles Southeast of Boise, Idaho, in Elmore County and 45 miles Southwest of the Atlanta Project within the same Trans-Atlanta-Challis fault alignment.  The Neal Property and the Atlanta Project have similar geology.

"With the combination of the Neal and Atlanta properties, the Company has the potential to operate year round. The Atlanta Project is best operated during the warmest 6-8 months of the year and the smaller Neal Property, at a lower altitude, can be operated during months when snow conditions at Atlanta make operations difficult. This potential is exhilarating," said Wm. Ernest Simmons, President and CEO of the Company. "The test results from the processing of two bulk samples which are starting this month are important to the future of the Company.  We will be in a position to improve upon the use of processing equipment and refine the recovery procedures we have in place.  Materials for processing of a bulk sample excavated on the Neal Property will be transported 23 miles to private land in Boise and processed in 2014," added Simmons.

The Company also announced the completion of its previously announced US$600,000 convertible loan financing. The loan is unsecured and non-interest bearing and is to be repaid by delivery to the lender of 1,000 troy ounces of gold (or the cash equivalent thereof) payable in installments over an 18-month period. The loan is convertible at the lender's election into common shares at a conversion price of C$0.05 during the initial 12 months and at C$0.10 per share thereafter. All securities issued pursuant to this financing are subject to a four-month statutory hold period which will expire on November 7, 2014. The lender also received a five-year option to purchase, solely from gold produced from the Neal Property, up to 2,500 ounces of gold at US$1,400 per ounce.
