Dear Valued Shareholder,

It is our hope that you have received proxy materials in connection with the special meeting of shareholders of Canyon Resources Corporation to be held on Wednesday, March 6, 2008. The material was mailed to you on or about January 25, however, according to our latest records, we have not received your Proxy Vote for this meeting.

Canyon Resources is asking shareholders to vote on Proposal 1: To approve and adopt the Agreement and Plan the merger with Atna Resources Ltd. and Proposal 2: To approve the postponement or adjournment of the special meeting, if necessary to solicit additional proxies. Please see the proxy materials previously mailed to you for additional information.

Since the required vote to approve Proposal 1 is by an affirmative vote of a majority of all shares outstanding eligible to vote, if you do not vote with respect to Proposal 1, your failure to vote will have the effect of a vote AGAINST this proxy agenda. We would appreciate your immediate attention to the mailing or electronic voting of the enclosed proxy.

Regardless of the number of shares you own, it is important that they be represented at the special shareholders meeting. Your vote matters to us and we need your support. Please vote your shares now so that your vote can be counted without delay.
