/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

TORONTO, Nov. 9, 2012 /CNW/ - Atlanta Gold Inc. (TSXV: ATG; OTCQX: ATLDF) announces that it has completed an initial tranche of its previously announced $750,000 private placement offering of Units (see news release of November 5, 2012) for gross proceeds of $606,000. The Company issued 12,120,000 Units at a price of $0.05 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant is exercisable for a period of 24 months from closing of the offering and will entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share at $0.10 for the initial 12 months from closing and at $0.15 per share thereafter. The Company has the right to accelerate the expiry date of the warrants if the closing price of the Company's common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange exceeds $0.20 for 20 consecutive days on which the Company's shares trade. Net proceeds from the offering will be used to reduce indebtedness and for general working capital purposes.

The Company paid cash finder's fees of $25,280 and issued 505,600 compensation options in connection with the initial closing. Each compensation option entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $0.10 per share for one year.

All securities issued on closing of the initial tranche will be subject to a four-month statutory hold period, which will expire March 10, 2013.

Insiders of the Company acquired 1,700,000 Units, representing 14.0% of the Units issued.

The Company anticipates that it will complete the balance of the offering within 30 days.
