ATNA RESOURCES LTD.

Atna Resources announced unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009. At September 30, 2009, cash and short term investments totaled $1.7 million, which represented a net decrease of $2.5 million during the quarter. The net decrease was due primarily to $3.7 million of cash used in operating activities due offset by the issuance of $1.4 million of debentures. Other changes in cash include the sales of $0.3 million of marketable securities that were more than offset by $0.5 million of development and leasing payments at the Briggs Mine. At quarter end, Atna held 725 ounces of gold bullion at the refinery and gold in doré awaiting shipment with a closing value of approximately $721,000.
