Atlanta Gold Announces Environmental Penalty Payment Status

10.09.2018  |  Newsfile
Toronto, Sept 10, 2018 - Atlanta Gold Inc. (the "Company") (TSXV: ATG) (OTC Pink: ATLDF) announces that the request of Atlanta Gold Corporation ("AGC"), the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, to extend the time for payment of the $251,000 fine previously imposed by the Court for environmental violations, stemming from 2015 and 2016 exceedances, was not accepted and the payment is due on September 14, 2018. (see news release of September 22, 2017) AGC does not currently have the funds necessary to pay the penalty but is evaluating a number of alternatives to obtain the funds necessary to pay the penalty. Failure to pay the penalty on a timely basis could result in the Court imposing additional penalties and sanctions against AGC, which could be significant, and which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, business and operations.

Contrary to a media report, the Company does not intend to conduct a cryptocurrency offering. The Company has been in discussions with its largest shareholder, Jipangu Inc. ("Jipangu"), regarding Jipangu's further investment in the Company. The Company understands from Jipangu that certain additional funds may become available to Jipangu following completion of a cryptocurrency offering being conducted by Gold Investment Partners, a Hong Kong based corporation of which Jipangu is a partner.

The principal of the Company's outstanding debentures in the amount of $2,050,000 and interest payments in the amount of $492,000 became due on April 1, 2018 and remain unpaid. In addition, payments of principal and interest on the Company's outstanding notes in the aggregate amount of US$2,135,000 became due on August 31, 2017 and remain unpaid. The Company is in discussions with its lenders and others in respect of various financing alternatives to solve the issue including, but not limited to, partial payments, partial deferral of payments and/or a purchase of the notes and debentures.

The Company will advise of the outcome of these discussions as soon as possible.
