ATLAS ANNOUNCES SIGNIFICANT GOLD & SILVER RESULTS FROM TRES CHORRERAS

Calgary, Canada – Atlas Minerals Inc. (”the Company” or “Atlas”) (TSX Venture Exchange: AMR) is pleased to present results of underground and surface sampling on the epithermal zone of the Company’s Tres Chorreras project (”the Project”), located in southern Ecuador

Significant results include:

Lower grades in the 1.3 to 3.5 gram Au range occur over intervals of up to 48 metres, estimated true width, and over a distance of about 200 metres long between the Redroban and Z adits, indicating potential for bulk mining.

In addition, anomalous to significant molybdenum and copper values were found in the Pesantez 2 and Z adits. Molybdenite and chalcopyrite occur in breccia matrices and as sulphide-rich fracture coatings and veinlets, all of which appear to have been overprinted by the epithermal style veinlets. This suggests potential for porphyry style mineralization and/or additional zones of mineralization similar to the 3C polymetallic zone that the Company is currently drilling.

The epithermal zone at Tres Chorreras lies immediately to the southeast of the 3C breccia zone (news release: January 15, 2008). The zone is characterized by a northeast trending swarm of drusy quartz veinlets containing minor amounts of free gold and pyrite and local chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite, stibnite and carbonate. Anomalous and locally potentially economic values of gold and silver occur over an area of approximately 150 - 300 by 400 metres in dimension. It is open to depth and open to the south and southeast.

Agreements have recently been reached for surface access rights with all the land owners in the area, so line cutting, detailed geological mapping, soil sampling and geophysical surveys will be implemented soon to assist in defining drilling targets. Further to these agreements, the Company can report that it has not been affected by the recent developments announced by the Government of Ecuador in regards to revocation of concessions based on concession payments not being met. The Company remains in good standing.

Based on the above tabulated results of significant gold, silver and molybdenum values, the Company will direct their drill program to define potentially economic large tonnage gold-silver mineralization, as well as target deeper lying porphyry style mineralization. A diamond drill is currently operating on the 3C zone, and will move systematically to test the 3C zone at depth followed by testing the epithermal zone.

Results are presented in the table below from 12 surface trenches and underground workings:

Analysis was conducted by ICP Mass Spectrometer at Acme Laboratories of Vancouver B.C. on panel samples 1 - 3 metres long by 0.5 metres wide (see accompanying map). Molybdenum and copper values added where significant.

Note: 1 gram per metric tonne (g/t) = 0.029 troy ounce per short ton 1 troy ounce per short ton (oz/ ton) = 34.28 grams per metric tonne. .

Qualified Person and Quality Control/Quality Assurance .

The work program at Tres Chorreras was designed and is supervised by Donald G. Allen, PEng (B.C.) Vice President of Exploration, Atlas Minerals Inc, who is responsible for all aspects of the work, including the quality control/quality assurance program. Samples comprise 1 to 3 metre by 0.5 metre panel samples which were sealed and shipped to AcmeLabs preparation laboratory in Cuenca, Ecuador where samples are crushed, split and pulps then shipped to Acme Analytical Laboratories in Vancouver, British Columbia. Acme’s quality system complies with the requirements for the International Standards ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 17025. Analytical accuracy and precision are monitored by the inclusion and analysis of reagent blanks, reference material and replicate samples. Quality control is further assured by the use of international standards.
