![Atlanta Gold Announces Receipt of Mining Permit at its Neal Property](https://www.goldseiten.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
Atlanta Gold Inc. (the "Company") (TSXV: ATG; OTC Pink: ATLDF) announces that the Idaho Department of Lands has approved the reclamation plan submitted in respect of proposed operations at the Neal Property and has granted a mine permit. The reclamation and operating permit is subject to certain conditions agreed upon with the Idaho State Lands Department and becomes active upon agreeing to the conditions and establishment of a reclamation bond. The surface mining permit will enable the estimated 12,900 ton stockpile collected from bulk samples completed in 2015 and 2016 to be removed from the site for processing.
Operations at the Neal Property are being conducted by Neal Development LP, the partnership formed by the Company to finance exploration activities at Neal. Mineral Point LLC, the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, is the general partner of the partnership. Results obtained from the processing of the bulk sample are expected to enable the further refinement of the processes and equipment to be used at Neal and ultimately at the Company’s Atlanta Project.
The Company is assessing the means of funding and processing options in order for processing to commence.
