According to this old news release the Wolverine deposit contains 72 million ounces of silver. Blake ATNA RESOURCES LTD. - 1998 DRILLING PROGRAMS COMMENCE - WOLVERINE DEPOSIT CONTAINS 72 MILLION OZ OF SILVER VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA-- Discussions are underway with Atna's joint venture partner Boliden Limited to advance the Wolverine Deposit and address the metallurgical concerns, particularly the high selenium content. The Wolverine Deposit has a mineral resource of 6,237,000 tonnes grading 1.76g/t gold, 370.9g/t ( 11.7 oz per tonne ) silver, 1.33% copper, 1.55% lead and 12.66% zinc. In the fall of 1997 program Atna discovered a significant massive sulphide deposit on the Wolf property located in southeastern Yukon . The discovery hole WF 97-07 intersected massive sulphides over a true width of 25.2 metres grading 138.6 g/t silver, 6.9% zinc, 2.8% lead. An airborne geophysical survey has indicated several anomalies on Atna's extensive land position in this favourable belt. An aggressive drill program is planned to test these targets and follow-up on the Wolf drill intersections. Drilling on the Atna / Falconbridge Limited, Temagami joint venture project will commence in March. One drill hole was completed in December on an outlying geophysical anomaly. The hole intersected iron formation rather than massive sulphide mineralization. Approximately 5 drill holes will be drilled in the main target area where previous exploration has indicated a thick section of rhyolitic rocks with polymetallic mineralization and coincident geochemical and geophysical anomalies. A 5-hole, 1500 metre drill program is scheduled to commence this month on the Loveland volcanogenic massive sulphide property located near Timmins, Ontario. The property is underlain by felsic and mafic volcanic rocks of the Abitibi greenstone belt that hosts several major deposits including the nearby Kidd Creek ore body. Atna is currently reviewing, for the purpose of acquisition, several volcanogenic massive sulphide properties with high silver and zinc values. Having both a high level of technical expertise and approximately $18 million in the treasury Atna is well positioned to capitalize on exploration and development opportunities. -30- For further information contact: ATNA RESOURCES LTD.
