ATY Atico Mining Corp

Atico Mining Corporation (TSX VENTURE:ATY)(PINKSHEETS:ATCMF) is pleased to
report that since the exercise of the option agreement on El Roble property
(September 25th news release) the company has successfully advanced the
transition phase with the current owners and operators of the mine to close the
transaction on November 22nd. In preparation of assuming control and operation
of the mine, Atico has developed an integration plan in conjunction with the
current operators and has incorporated staff at the project to support the
optimization and scale up plans. 


"The transition phase is proceeding according to schedule and we expect to
conclude the exercise of the option agreement and takeover the existing
operation as planned on November 22nd," commented Fernando E. Ganoza, CEO "I
thank all the current employees of the El Roble mine, and our staff for their
hard work in preparing the integrating of our teams and plans. I am confident
the smooth and efficient transition will carry through to integration."


Atico will retain all of the current employees, while adding experienced staff
to advance its mining plans and improve mine safety and environmental standards.
The immediate focus for underground operations is the new 1880 level adit, which
will be the main extraction point for newly discovered resources. The company's
plans for the operation also include the optimization and scale-up of the mill
and processing facility along with construction of a new tailings dam. 


El Roble Mine 

The El Roble property is the site of an operating underground copper and gold
mine with a nominal capacity of 400 tonnes per day. Over the past 22 years the
mine has processed 1.5 million tonnes of ore at an average head grade of 2.5%
copper and an estimated 2.5 g/t gold. Copper and gold mineralization at El Roble
occurs as volcanogenic massive sulfide ("VMS") lenses. 


In January 28, 2011 Atico signed an option agreement to acquire 90% of the
shares of MINER and has since been aggressively exploring the El Roble mine and
surrounding claims. To date, Atico has completed 11,740 meters of diamond
drilling on the property and has identified 15 prospective targets for VMS
deposits in the 6,679 hectares surrounding the mine.


As a result of this exploration program the Company has discovered high grade
copper and gold mineralization below the 2000 level, the lowest production level
at the El Roble mine, and has established a National Instrument 43-101 compliant
inferred mineral resource of 1.58 million tonnes at 4.45 % Cu and 3.17 g/t Au
using a cut-off grade of 0.72 % Cu Eq. Mineralization is open at depth and along
strike and the company will further test the limits of the resource.


On the larger land package the Company has identified a prospective
stratigraphic contact between volcanic rocks and black and grey cherts that has
been traced by Atico geologists for ten kilometers across the El Roble Project
area. This contact has been determined to be an important control on VMS
mineralization on which Atico has identified 15 prospective target areas for VMS
type mineralization occurrence, which is the focus of the surface drill program
at El Roble.
