Atikwa Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ATK) ("Atikwa" or the "Company") would like
to remind shareholders that is it extremely important to cast their proxy vote
to ensure that Management's proposal is passed at the AGM on Friday, August
30th. Atikwa is extremely grateful to those shareholders who have already
changed their proxy vote (from the GREEN proxy circulated by the Vancouver
Group) to the Management proxy. If you have not yet voted, you are strongly
encouraged to do so now. If you have voted the GREEN proxy (either by mail,
phone or online) it is not too late to change your vote.
