Atacama Pacific Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE:ATM) ("Atacama Pacific") is
pleased to report the final results from its 27,000-metre Phase IV drill program
on the Cerro Maricunga oxide gold project. Highlights from the final set of
drill results include:
-- 78 metres grading 0.80 grams per tonne gold ("g/t Au") including 1.17
g/t Au over 22 metres from drill hole CMR-296;
-- 110 metres grading 0.57 g/t Au with 38 metres of 1.09 g/t Au in drill
hole CMD-298; and,
-- 184 metres grading 0.43 g/t Au from drill hole CMR-322.
Atacama Pacific's Cerro Maricunga project is located in Chile's Maricunga
Mineral Belt approximately 120 kilometres from the city of Copiapo. Table 1
provides a summary of the current results and Figure 1 presents the location of
the drill holes.
"The results from the Phase IV infill drilling campaign have confirmed that the
Cerro Maricunga property hosts one of the largest oxide gold deposits recently
discovered," stated Carl Hansen, President and CEO of Atacama Pacific. "The goal
of the Phase IV campaign was to convert existing inferred resources to the
measure and indicated category and we are looking forward to providing an
updated resource estimate during the third quarter of 2013. With the completion
of this program, Atacama Pacific has drilled over 100,000 metres at Cerro
Maricunga project over a period of three years. It is anticipated that, going
forward, only minor drilling for infill and geotechnical purposes will be
required."
Drilling on section 950 NW successfully outlined further gold mineralization in
the area between the Crux and Phoenix zones previously interpreted as
unmineralized. Three drill holes, CMR-308, CMR-323 and CMR 325, returned
significant intervals of +0.2 g/t Au mineralization (see table 1), including 140
metres grading 0.32 g/t Au, following up on mineralization discovered in holes
CMR-241 (44 m grading 0.47 g/t Au) and CMR-239 (62 m grading 0.33 g/t Au)
drilled on section 900 NW.
Water Exploration Joint Venture
Atacama Pacific recently entered into a 50:50 joint venture agreement with
Exeter Resources Corporation to explore for aquifer water within three
concessions located approximately seventy kilometres east of Atacama Pacific's
Cerro Maricunga deposit. Each company will own a 50% interest in each water
tenement and will incur 50% of the costs associated with exploration. Two of the
concessions have recently been granted while approval for the third concession
is pending. It is anticipated that exploration work will begin during the fourth
quarter of 2013.

NOTES: Unless otherwise noted, reported gold grades are composited at a 0.2
g/t Au cut-off. All intervals represent down-hole lengths and not true
widths. Drill holes prefixed "CMD" are diamond drill holes; holes prefixed
"CMR" are RC drill holes. Hole CMC-293, was drilled by both RC and diamond
methods.
Santa Teresa Drilling
Atacama Pacific completed three reverse circulation drill holes (1,450 m)
targeting a strong chargeability anomaly identified on the Santa Teresa property
located adjacent to the northern border of the Cerro Maricunga property. The
results from the drilling were not economically significant and, as such,
Atacama Pacific has terminated the Santa Teresa option.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This news release contains forward-looking statements, including predictions,
projections and forecasts. Forward-looking statements include, but are not
limited to the success of exploration activities generally, mine development
prospects, and potential future gold production. Often, but not always,
forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as
"plans", "planning", "expects" or "does not expect", "continues", "scheduled",
"estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "potential", "anticipates", "does not
anticipate", or "belief", or describes a "goal", or variation of such words and
phrases or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could",
"would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, future events,
conditions, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results,
performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results,
prediction, projection, forecast, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others,
the results of due diligence activities, changes in economic parameters and
assumptions, the interpretation and actual results of current exploration
activities; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; the
results of regulatory and permitting processes; future prices of gold; possible
variations in grade or recovery rates; failure of equipment or processes to
operate as anticipated; labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry;
the results of further economic and technical studies, delays in obtaining
governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of exploration, as well
as those factors disclosed in Atacama Pacific's publicly filed documents.
Although Atacama Pacific has attempted to identify important factors that could
cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those
described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause
actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.
