Wednesday, July 1, 1998 Atna wins court delay in tiff with Boliden over Yukon mine By PETER KENNEDY Vancouver Bureau The Financial Post Atna Resources Ltd. has won a temporary injunction from the Supreme Court of British Columbia preventing partner Boliden Ltd. from transferring its interests in a rich Yukon metals find to Expatriate Resources Ltd. The dispute is over the Wolverine Lake polymetallic discovery, which is owned 60% by Toronto metals company Boliden and 40% by Vancouver-based Atna. Atna has argued Boliden's plan to exchange its stake in the property for Expatriate shares breaches an earlier agreement giving Atna right of first refusal on Boliden's interest. Yesterday, the court ruled Atna will have suffered irreparable harm if the sale of Boliden's interest to Expatriate is completed. As a result of the decision, Boliden cannot transfer its interest before the B.C. court makes a final ruling in a summary trial, which will probably take place within the next three weeks. Boliden shares (BOL/TSE) closed yesterday at $8, down 25›. Atna shares (ATN/TSE) rose 7› to 95›. Expatriate stock (EXR/Vse) fell 1› to 47›.

It will be worth it in the long run at these prices. Cheers, Blake Wolf Deposit Expanding Vancouver B.C. (July 8, 1998) - Atna Resources Ltd. and YGC Resources Ltd. are pleased to announce that the first 10 drill holes (totaling 2,240 metres) of the 1998 program have intersected massive sulphide mineralization and extended the size of the deposit. Assay results from these holes are pending. Drill holes WF 98-16 and 98-17 were drilled 75 metres down-dip from WF 97-15 and 97-14, respectively, and intersected 1.5 to 2.6 metre widths of massive sulphide mineralization. Drill hole WF 98-19 tested the westerly down-dip extension under WF 98-16; results indicate the deposit pinches out against a fault in this area. Drill hole WF 98-18 intersected a relatively narrow zone of mineralization up-dip from WF 97-14. Holes WF 98-20 and 21 were drilled between WF 98-16 and 18 and intersected massive sulphide mineralization over widths of 11.7 and 6.0 metres. Holes WF 98-22 and 23 were drilled in an easterly up-dip direction from the discovery hole WF 97-07, both holes intersected a 3 metre thickness of massive sulphide mineralization. Holes WF 98-24 and 25, drilled in an easterly down-dip direction from WF 97-07, intersected 10.5 and 19.2 metres of massive sulphide mineralization. These holes are significant in that they demonstrate a continuation of massive sulphide mineralization encountered in WF 97-07 for 150 metres in the easterly down-dip direction. Since discovery in late 1997, the Wolf Deposit has been intersected by a total of 19 holes, indicating a strike length of 500 metres and a down-dip length of approximately 350 metres. The deposit is open along strike and down-dip. Geological, geochemical and geophysical surveys have commenced on the Fox, Fire, Ice, Mamu, and Tree properties in this under-explored belt of Mississippian volcanic rock. Atna has an option to earn a 65% interest in the Wolf Property from YGC. The 1998 exploration budget for the Wolf Deposit and other properties in the belt is $1 million. A map showing the location of the Wolf Deposit holes is available upon request. Atna Resources Ltd. is a Canadian mineral exploration company with a track record for discovering significant massive sulphide deposits, including the high-grade Wolverine Deposit. Atna trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol ATN and has a treasury of approximately C$ 17 million.
