Re: News Releases - Thursday, June 04, 2009 Title: Atna Reports Additional Pinson Drill Results
Golden, CO -- Atna Resources Ltd. ("Atna") -- (TSX:ATN) is pleased to report that Barrick Gold has delivered all assay results from its recent drilling programs at the Pinson Mine Project, Humboldt County, Nevada. The Pinson Mine Project is a Mining Joint Venture with Pinson Mining Company ("PMC") a subsidiary of Barrick Gold, owning a 70 percent interest and Atna owning 30 percent interest in the project. PMC is the operator of the venture.
"The Pinson project continues to host numerous high grade gold intercepts on a number of structures all located in a relatively small area. We feel that Pinson has a good potential for development due to its gold grade, location in the heart of the northern Nevada gold belt and its close proximity to existing autoclave, roaster and mill complexes. PMC is evaluating the results of its extensive drilling program and data review to determine the future program for property. Between three and four months will be required to complete this technical analysis that will be the basis for the future development of the project," states James Hesketh, President & CEO.
>From mid-2007 through December 2008, Barrick completed 163 surface and underground drill holes totaling 112,578 total feet of drilling (91,892 feet from surface drill sites and 20,686 feet underground) as part of its earn-in obligations. Total reverse circulation footage was 50,721 feet and core footage totaled 61,857 feet. In addition, PMC completed an extensive review and quality control analysis of historic drill information and data. PMC's focus included both shallow drill targets to be evaluated for open pit mining potential as well as high grade drill targets at depth for potential underground development.
The joint venture has agreed to a property budget that allows for continued dewatering of the underground workings while the technical evaluation is being completed. Atna's share of the current budget for the remainder of 2009 is estimated to be $237,000.
Drilling reported by Barrick included a significant number of infill drill holes within the Ogee, the CX-West, the Range Front (and hanging wall splays), and Mag Pit mineral zones. This new information, along with the existing drilling data developed by Atna and prior operators, will serve as the basis for PMC's ongoing evaluation of the project's potential. Highlights of the drill results not previously reported are tabulated below.

* Intercept lengths do not represent true widths of the mineralized zones. ** Many intercepts are carbonaceous and pyritic and may have refractory characteristics. The vast majority of the surface drill holes were pre-collared with RC drill rigs, cased, and finished by diamond drilling through the targeted zones and underground drilling was principally diamond drilling.
