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

TORONTO, Nov. 27, 2013 /CNW/ - Atlanta Gold Inc. (TSXV: ATG; OTCQX: ATLDF) (the "Company") announced that its subsidiary, Atlanta Gold Corporation ("AGC") has completed the initial surface trench excavation at the Monarch Shaft, located at the Atlanta property in Elmore County, Idaho.

Using a Caterpillar 330 excavator, an estimated 30,000 tons of highly diluted material was exposed. More than 230 samples were taken from the excavated material that en masse will comprise the foundation of the mined ore pad upon which higher grade materials will be stockpiled when excavation continues. Assay results from the samples will be used to calculate the number of mineralized ounces comprised in the pad's 2014 foundation. The samples will be processed by Inspectorate America Corporation in Reno.

The surface sample area has identified the proposed bulk sample excavation area as planned for next year.

Wm. Ernest Simmons, President and CEO stated, "The 800' length x 65' width sample area exposed numerous Northwest trending splays which had been identified by previous surveys and sampling. Next year we expect to begin testing the gravity recovery potential from this defined surface trench area during the first phase of trench sampling at the Atlanta project."
