Perth, Australia (ABN Newswire) - Atlas Iron Limited (ASX: AGO) is pleased to announce excellent results from first pass drilling programmes at its 100% owned Hickman and McCamey's North DSO Projects. The projects are located 40km north of Newman and 40km east of Newman respectively in the southeast Pilbara region of Western Australia. Better results include:

McCamey's North

- 78 metres at 60.5% Fe from 16 metres in JMRC058
- 44 metres at 61.1% Fe from 18 metres in JMRC052
- 30 metres at 60.7% Fe from 14 metres in JMRC026
- 48 metres at 59.3% Fe from 38 metres in JMRC044
- 38 metres at 59.2% Fe from 28 metres in JMRC023

Hickman

- 34 metres at 59.8% Fe from 18 metres in HKRC005
- 22 metres at 59.8% Fe from 32 metres in HKRC006
- 32 metres at 58.4% Fe from 8 metres in HKRC002
- 36 metres at 58.4% Fe from 40 metres in HKRC009

These discoveries are the result of first-pass drilling at both projects. Further drilling will be conducted in the coming months to enable the Company to determine the significance of these exciting new discoveries.

'These results are from the first holes ever drilled on the projects and we are very pleased' commented David Flanagan, Atlas Iron Managing Director. 'Clearly both projects have enormous potential. We've only just started scratching the surface and this further demonstrates the quality of our ground and the potential to discover and deliver new mining centres throughout the Pilbara'.

McCamey's North was acquired through the merger with Warwick Resources Limited in December 2010. Atlas' southeast Pilbara tenements are considered highly prospective for large high quality iron ore deposits.
