Atikwa Resources Inc. Announces Dismissal of Dissident Shareholders Application

Atikwa Resources Inc. ("Atikwa" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ATK) is pleased
to announce that pursuant to a decision of the Court of Queen's Bench of the
Province of Alberta (the "Court"), the previously announced application by the
dissident shareholder group ("Dissident") contesting the election of directors
at the Company's annual and special meeting held on August 30th has been
dismissed with the costs payable to Atikwa. Pursuant to the decision of Justice
G.C. Hawco of the Court, the evidence presented by the Dissidents in support of
their application failed to satisfy the Court that there was any issue
respecting the conduct of the election and annual and special meetings, and more
particularly, the court held that the Company's slate of directors was properly
elected. The Company is pleased by the Court's decision and is continuing to
execute on its business plan.


Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that
