Atocha Carries Out Follow Up Exploration on the Yukon Strike 101-114 Project

Atocha Carries Out Follow Up Exploration on the Yukon Strike 101-114 Project August 23, 2010 - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA – Atocha Resources, (the Company), TSX.V – ATT reports that a follow up exploration was completed on the Yukon Strike property last week. Atocha completed a follow up phase 2 exploration program to the initial soil sampling program which was completed in June 2010. The phase 2 program consisted of detailed geological mapping to better define bedrock lithologies and potential structures associated with gold mineralization. All outcrops and angular float in the area of interest were sampled and assayed since the alteration is very subtle and difficult to recognize in hand samples. A detailed grid soil sampling program was also carried out on the Eastern portion of the property. Gold (Au) thresholds in soils from the Yukon area are consistently low with values less than 15 ppb considered to be anomalous, however in the Company’s June soil geochemical values of up to 30 ppb Gold (Au) were located which prompted a follow up program. Atocha has an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Yukon Strike 101-114 Claims (300 hectares) near Dawson City, Yukon. The claims are located proximal (less than 2km from the claim border) to the White Gold Deposit of Underworld Resources (UW-TSX.V), who was acquired by Kinross Gold (K-TSX) for approximately $139 million dollars in March 2010. The program will be carried out under the supervision of J. T. Shearer, M.Sc., P.Geo., the Qualified Person for this project under National Instrument 43-101. The Company would also announce the resignation of Mr. Ray Paquette from the Board of Directors and kindly thank him for his service.
