Atlanta Gold Announces Purchase of 5.58 Acre Site In Boise Idaho

TORONTO, April 20 /CNW/ - Atlanta Gold Inc. (TSX V: ATG) announces that the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Atlanta Gold Corporation ("Atlanta Gold") has entered into a definitive agreement with 3N LLC pursuant to which Atlanta Gold will purchase a 5.58 acre property in Boise, Idaho. The purchase price of US$860,000 will be satisfied by a US$100,000 cash payment, a US$425,000 7% three-year promissory note and the issuance of common shares of the Company valued at US$335,000, to 3N LLC. The purchase is expected to close within 30 days subject to customary conditions and approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The 5.58 acre property is located between Highway 84 and South Federal Way, approximately 3.26 miles from Boise Airport and 5.24 miles from downtown Boise. It is currently undeveloped land with excellent highway and railroad access. The site will require infrastructure development, including utilities, and water and sewer lines. The Company intends to construct on the site three buildings providing approximately 30,000 square feet of maintenance, warehouse and office space. Upon completion, the three buildings will accommodate employees who currently work in leased facilities in the Boise area and new employees who will be providing administrative and geological support for the Company's advanced gold project near Atlanta, Idaho.

"The new property will prove to be a sound investment in infrastructure. It affords the Company the opportunity to significantly reduce future accommodation requirements at its Atlanta project site and to increase the value of a property which is currently undeveloped", said Bill Baird, President and CEO of the Company. "The Boise area will benefit from the direct economic impact of our project. We will be able to offer our current team members, as well as the new employees we expect to hire, a state-of-the-art work environment adjacent to first-class amenities. Idaho is a great place for our team members to live and offers us a high quality workforce."
