ATOMIC FUNDING FOR NGAKA BANKABLE FEASABLITY STUDY

1 FOR 2 RIGHTS ISSUE TO FUND COAL EXPLORATION IN TANZANIA

Atomic Resources Limited (ASX Code: ATQ) (“Atomic”) is pleased to announce that it has completed a placement of 8,670,000 shares at a price of 10.5 cents to sophisticated investors to raise $0.91 million. The money raised will fund on-going expenditure in relation to the Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) at Ngaka in Western Tanzania, which commenced in May 2009*.

To complete funding for the BFS and further working capital, Atomic will do a 1:2 Rights Issue offer to all ordinary shareholders. Shareholders will be offered one new ordinary share for every two ordinary shares currently held, at an application price of 10.5 cents per share.

The Company will apply for the quotation of new shares on the ASX together with new shares issued in the Rights Issue. A prospectus relating to the Rights Issue is expected to be lodged with ASIC and ASX on Monday 17[th] August and will be available after lodgment on the Company’s website www.atomicresources.com.au and on the ASX web site.

Atomic Managing Director Mr. Dave Holden said the funds raised by the Rights Issue will be used to fund the completion of the BFS already underway at Ngaka, where Atomic has identified a 179 Million tonnes JORC compliant resource of moderate ash, low moisture and low sulphur bituminous thermal coal.

“We also intend to commence resource estimation drilling of the Mbuyura and Mkapa Blocks, north of Ngaka which we believe have the potential to host additional tonnes of coal, and conduct exploration drilling at our newly acquired projects at Liweta, Mbamba Bay and Muhukuru, which have combined exploration potential of approximately 90[1] million tonnes of coal” said Mr. Holden.

“We aim to complete the BFS by mid 2010 and commence mining within 12 months of that date. In the meantime, we will continue to explore our coal concessions, grow our coal resources and further our position as Tanzania’s largest private coal company.”
