Atna Completes Drilling at Beowawe Project, Nevada
======================================================================
Vancouver, B.C. (June 06, 2007). Atna Resources, Ltd (TSX:ATN)
completed 6 drill holes totalling 6,205 feet at its Beowawe project,
Eureka and Lander Counties, Nevada. The drilling tested potential for
gold mineralization in epithermal, volcanic-hosted quartz veins and
associated geophysical anomalies beneath alluvial covered areas in the
Northern Nevada Rift. Strong silicification and argillic to propylitic
alteration were encountered in all drill holes. Several holes contained
narrow (less than 20-foot wide) zones of quartz-chalcedony veining with
associated pyrite. The following table shows the results of the
program:
Drill Hole Total Depth From To Legth Gold
