Atlanta Gold Corporation's Water Treatment

TORONTO, April 14, 2015 /CNW/ - Atlanta Gold Inc. (TSXV: ATG; OTC Pink: ATLDF) (the "Company") today reported that, other than a declared disaster period of high spring runoff and an uncontrolled release of water flow from the 900 Level adit (see the Company's news release of June 16, 2014), the arsenic content in 48 weekly samples taken from the effluent weir averaged 7.9 parts per billion (PPB) for arsenic.  During the first quarter  of 2015, the average of 13 samples was 5 PPB for arsenic, 152 PPB for iron and 2 parts per million (PPM) for suspended solids. The results from the water treatment facility compare favourably with the EPA standard shown below:

The Company is pleased to see continued evidence that the water treatment system developed by Atlanta Gold Corporation, it's wholly-owned subsidiary, is capable of effectively treating effluent water containing naturally occurring high arsenic and iron content. We now believe this technology may have a broader commercial application.    

The ability to treat contaminated waste water and produce a product that can be recycled is a valuable asset to all, including the Company.
