アトランタゴールド社による Neal エリアから採取した地表面付近の鉱石の分析結果報告
2015 年 12 月9日(東海岸時間)
Neal Property で実施されている試掘において、約 8,000 トンの鉱石を採掘しました。
試掘は、約 3 エーカーの地表エリアで行われ、これらの鉱石から 8 つのバッチ(グループ)を
取り、その中から 562 のサンプルを採集しました。採集したサンプルは、2 か所の外部第三者

とが確認されました。
2 か所の外部第三者機関の分析所は、ネバダ州スパークス市にある Inspectorate America
社と、ネバダ州エルコ市の北 42 マイルにある Queenstake-Jerritt Canyon Mine 分析所で
す。
6 バッチ 387 のサンプルは Inspectorate America 社にて分析を行いました。分析の手順は、
破砕、縮分、粉砕(0.075 ミリ)で Fire Assay(※1)を行い原子吸光分析で最終測定を行いま
した。分析試験の品質を保つために空試験と標準試料を試験サンプルに加えました。
Inspectorate America 社は、ISO 9001 取得企業であり、独立した検査機関です。
2 バッチ 175 サンプルは Jerritt Canyon の分析所で分析が行われました。Jerritt Canyon も
独立した検査機関です。Jerritt Canyon での分析手順は、破砕、縮分、粉砕(0.099 ミリ)で
Fire Assay を行い重量で最終測定を行いました。分析の品質を高めるために標準試料を試
験サンプルに加えています。
Atlanta Gold 社 CEO の Ernest Simmons 氏は次の様に述べています。「我々はこの 4 か月
間にわたる試掘プログラムの結果に非常に興奮している。初期のグラブサンプル(採取試料)
とドリル結果から、我々は特徴的な地表面に沿った“J”と“M”と呼ぶ 2 つのエリアに注力するこ
とを決定しました。125 サンプルの最後の1バッチが示したのは、平均品位 13.91 gpt で最高
品位 176.57 gpt、最低品位 0.14 gpt を含む非常に興味深いものでした。」
“J”エリアからのサンプル分析結果は平均品位 14.79 gpt、“M”エリアからのサンプル分析結
果は平均品位 13.83 gpt でした。“M”エリアと“J”エリアは 76.2m 四方のグリッドで互いに北東
方向の対角線上に位置しています。これらのグリッドは特徴的なせん断領域をカバーし、地
表面に露出しているせん断領域のほとんどを含んでいます。“M”エリアや“J”エリアのサンプ
ルは地表面に露出していたせん断(水平方向にずれた断層エリア)領域から採取を行って
います。
Inspectorate 社が分析を行った 125 サンプルの内、97 サンプルが 3.43gpt を超えていまし
た。“M”エリアと“J”エリアからの全てのサンプル結果を下表に示します。

ATLANTA GOLD REPORTS ASSAY RESULTS OF SURFACE MINERALIZED
MATERIAL EXCAVATED FROM NEAL PROPERTY
Toronto, Ontario, December 9, 2015 – Atlanta Gold Inc. (the "Company") (TSXV: ATG;
OTC Pink: ATLDF) today announced assay results from the bulk sampling of surface
mineralized material obtained from the Neal Property under a Notice of Motorized Exploration
(“NOME”). Neal Development, LP (the “Partnership”), was created by the Company’s
wholly-owned subsidiary, Atlanta Gold Corporation (“AGC”), to explore and develop the Neal
Property (See the Company's news releases of April 7, 2015 and June 11, 2015). Exploration
commenced in mid-July and the NOME was submitted to the Idaho Department of Lands on
July 22, 2015.
The bulk sample excavation at the Neal Property continued into November, producing an
estimated eight thousand (8,000) short tons of gold-bearing material. The bulk sample was
excavated from exposed material within three (3) contiguous acres. Five hundred and sixty-two
(562) samples in eight (8) batches, primarily from stockpiles, were tested and analyzed by two
(2) laboratories resulting in a weighted average gold grade of 0.1494 ounces per ton (“opt”)
(5.12 grams per tonne (“gpt”)).
The two laboratories are Inspectorate America (“Inspectorate”) in Sparks, Nevada and
Queenstake-Jerritt Canyon Mine Assay Laboratory (“Jerritt Canyon”) 42 miles north of Elko,
Nevada.

Three hundred and eighty-seven (387) samples in six (6) batches were tested and analyzed by
Inspectorate. Procedures included crush, split, pulverize 250g to 200 mesh and fire assay 30g for
gold with an AAS finish. Blanks and standards were inserted among the samples for quality
control and quality assurance. Inspectorate is an ISO 9001 certified laboratory and is independent
from the Company.
One hundred and seventy-five (175) samples in two (2) batches were sent to Jerritt Canyon. Jerritt
Canyon is a non-accredited laboratory and is independent from the Company. The Jerritt Canyon
laboratory’s protocol is to crush, split, pulverize 200g to 150 mesh and fire assay a 29g sample for
gold with a gravimetric finish. Standards were inserted for quality control and quality assurance.
Records of custody were recorded from sample sites to assay laboratories for shipments to both
laboratories.
Wm. Ernest Simmons, President and CEO of the Company stated, “We are excited about the
results from this four-month bulk sampling and testing program. After some initial grab
sampling and drilling, the decision was made to focus on target areas which were along
recognizable surface structures in two main areas referred to as “J” and “M”. This last batch of
one hundred and twenty-five (125) samples proved to be the most interesting with a weighted
average gold grade of 0.4057 opt (13.91 gpt) including a high of 5.1500 opt (176.57 gpt) and a
low of 0.0040 opt (0.14 gpt).”
The assays from area “J” averaged 0.4314 opt gold (14.79 gpt) and the assays from area “M”
averaged 0.4035 opt gold (13.83 gpt). The sample areas referred to as “M” and “J” are 250 by
250 foot (76.2 by 76.2 meter) grid squares diagonal to each other and trending northeasterly.
These squares cover the main part of the recognizable shear zones and include most of the
surface exposures of the shear zones. Samples from “M” and “J” are from excavations along
the exposed structures.
Of the one hundred and twenty-five (125) samples tested and analyzed by Inspectorate,
ninety-seven (97) were over 0.1000 opt (3.43 gpt). All sample results from areas “M” and “J”
are listed below:

This recent exploration sampling of the Neal Property has been insufficient to define a mineral
resource, and it is uncertain if further similar exploration will result in there being a viable,
delineated mineral resource.
Qualified Person
Information of a technical nature in this news release has been reviewed by William L. Josey,
who is a designated “Qualified Person” under NI 43-101 regulations.
Mr. Josey is an
independent geologist, who is a Registered Member of the Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and

Subsequent sampling was under the supervision of senior, experienced Company personnel.
About the Company
Atlanta Gold Inc. holds through its 100% owned subsidiary, AGC, leases, options or
ownership interests in its Atlanta properties which comprise approximately 2,159 acres (8.74
square kilometres) located 90 air kilometres east of Boise, in Elmore County, Idaho. A long
history of mining makes Atlanta very suitable for development of new mining projects. The
Company is focused on advancing its core asset, Atlanta, towards mine development and
production.
The Company is also focused on advancing its exploration and processing methods on the Neal
Property, which is located approximately 15 miles from Boise, Idaho and comprises
approximately 192 acres (0.78 square kilometres). The Neal Property’s geology is similar to that
of the Atlanta Project; in that, there are northeasterly-trending shear zones in granodioritic host
rocks. The Neal Property provides the Company with all-season access to further refine the
processing equipment and procedures. AGC holds a five-year lease on the Neal Property and
has staked an additional seven contiguous claims on public land that was open to mineral entry.
