Annual General Meeting
Atico Mining cordially invites all shareholders to its Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders, at 10:00 am, Thursday, May 29, 2014, at the Four Seasons Hotel, 791 West Georgia Street, 3rd Floor (Oak Room), Vancouver, British Columbia.
El Roble Mine
El Roble is an operating underground copper and gold mine with a nominal mineral processing 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 occurs within volcanogenic massive sulfide ("VMS") lenses.
Since entering into an option agreement in January 2011 to acquire 90% of El Roble, Atico has aggressively explored the mine and surrounding claims. The Company has completed 11,740 meters of diamond drilling and identified numerous prospective targets for VMS deposits on the 6,679-hectare property. This exploration led to the discovery of high-grade copper and gold mineralization below the 2000 level, the lowest production level of the El Roble mine. Atico has developed a new adit access from the 1880 elevation to develop these new resources.
National Instrument 43-101 compliant inferred mineral resource are 1.58 million tonnes grading 4.45 % copper and 3.17 g/t gold, at a cut-off grade of 0.72 % copper equivalent. Mineralization is open at depth and along strike, the Company plans to 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. 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.

Atico Drifts Along 44 Meters of 7.0% Cu +1.2g/t Au in Goliath - Mar 3, 2014
www.marketwired.com/press-release/atico-drifts-along-44-mete…
"VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - March 3, 2014) - Atico Mining Corporation (TSX VENTURE:ATY)(PINKSHEETS:ATCMF) is pleased to announce the new 5 by 5 meter adit at the 1880 level has been completed ahead of schedule and has crosscut the Goliath massive sulfide body perpendicular to its strike direction. Initial development results, along with underground sampling, confirm the inferred high copper and gold grades and increase the width of Goliath over the width reported in the inferred resource model at the intersection point.
Highlights
1880 level Crosscut
North wall: 14.0 meters of channel samples averaging 2.27% Cu, 1.25 g/t Au
South Wall: 21.9 meters of channel samples averaging 2.52% Cu, 2.18 g/t Au
South East drift
Back: 44 meters of drift with 7.0% Cu, 1.2 g/t Au with average sample width of 4.3 meters and sample spacing along the drift every 4 meters
Note: All channel samples are perpendicular to the strike direction of mineralization
"We are very pleased to have reached the new high-grade ore ahead of schedule, achieving an important milestone in our optimization and scale-up plan for El Roble. We are gathering more information on the massive sulfide body and are very encouraged to have confirmed grades and increased the inferred width of Goliath at the intersection point," said Fernando E. Ganoza, CEO. "Thanks to the efforts of our team and contractors on the ground, we are on track to deliver on our promises."
Goliath Massive Sulfide Body
The Goliath massive sulfide body is located near the center of the 360 meter strike length of the mineralized system at the El Roble. The crosscut intercepted Goliath at the 1894 level (masl), 100 meters below historic workings, increasing the width at the point of intersection to 19.0 meters from an estimated 17.0 meters, as reported in the El Roble NI 43-101 technical report of August 27, 2013. Continuous channel samples were taken along the north and south wall of the crosscut within VMS mineralization. Assay results are reported in table 1.
The Company is drifting within the Goliath massive sulfide body along strike to the South east. Channel samples were taken every 4 meters over a length of 44 meters along the drift (assay results reported in table 1). The entire drift is within the mineralized body, which has an average inferred width of 19 meters as reported in the 43-101 resource estimate. The company will initiate crosscuts to the East and West of the drift to continue to confirm the width of the massive sulphide body.
Underground stope preparation work for future production will provide additional information on the limits and geology of the mineralization of the Goliath body. This information will be enhanced by a drill program now under way, designed to intercept the mineralization above and below the crosscut level.
The Company also plans to access the Maximus massive sulfide body at the same elevation, which is expected to be encountered approximately 40 meters South West of Goliath.

Scale-up plans
The El Roble mine continues to operate at approximately 320 tonnes per day processing ore from the upper levels of the mine. The Company expects that underground stope preparation in the Goliath and Maximus massive sulfide deposits will provide some high-grade ore prior to the start of full-scale stoping activities, which are planned for the third quarter of 2014.
As a part of the Company's integration process an on-site training program at the 1880 level is being performed by a team comprised of experienced operators and local miners. Other on-going activities key to the integration process include improving safety and environmental standards as well as upgrading supporting processes, all of which are proceeding according to schedule.
Scale-up of the El Roble mill to 650 tonnes per day is on schedule to be completed in the third quarter of 2014. The Company has secured all major equipment, with some components already on site and the remainder expected to be delivered during the first quarter of 2014.
Construction of the new tailings dam is expected to be completed as originally planned in the second quarter of 2014.

Atico Mining Corporation: Scale-Up of El Roble Mine Operations "Advancing on Schedule" - Jan 16, 2014
http://aticomining.mwnewsroom.com/Files/a7/a7fa1fa6-f2b2-446…
"ANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan. 16, 2014) - Atico Mining Corporation (TSX VENTURE:ATY)(PINKSHEETS:ATCMF) reports that the scale-up and modernization of its recently acquired El Roble copper-gold mine in Colombia are progressing on schedule. The company expects to be operating at full capacity by the fourth quarter of 2014.
"We are very pleased with the execution of the scale-up and modernization plan at the El Roble mine during this initial phase of the integration process, perhaps one of the most challenging," said Fernando E. Ganoza, CEO. "We are on track to deliver on our promises thanks to the efforts of our team and contractors on the ground."
Current operations and integration
The El Roble mine continues to operate at approximately 320 tonnes per day processing ore mined from the higher levels of the mine. The Company expects to maintain the current throughput while completing access to and preparation for mining of high-grade ore from the 1880 level. During the scale-up and modernization phase, the Company is using existing infrastructure to train personnel, increase safety and environmental standards and generate cash flow.
The integration phase at El Roble mine is proceeding as expected. The Company has retained all of the previous operator's employees and added a team of staff and technicians, who are on site supporting and training the local workforce.
Scale-up plans
Scale-up of the El Roble mill to 650 tonnes per day is on schedule to be completed in the third quarter, prior to the commencement of mining the new high-grade resources. All major equipment has been secured with delivery expected during the first quarter of 2014.
The new 5-meter by 5-meter adit at the 1880 level is advancing ahead of schedule. The Company now expects to complete the 830-meter adit in the first quarter of this year. Preparation of the Goliath and Maximus massive sulfide bodies will begin immediately after and is expected to continue through the second quarter.
A 60-meter access will be developed from the new adit to intercept the Goliath massive sulfide body at approximately the 1894 elevation (masl), where the resource estimate suggests mining activities will begin in a high-grade copper zone. An additional access of approximately 40 meters in length will be driven to the southwest to reach the Maximus massive sulfide body at the same elevation.
Mining of the new resources is expected to commence during the third quarter, while the ramp-up period to steady-state production is projected to extend into the fourth quarter.
Construction of the new tailings dam was delayed briefly in late 2013 because of heavy rains. The company has increased construction activities, taking advantage of the dry season that started in January, to complete the tailings dam as originally scheduled in the second quarter of 2014.
El Roble Mine
El Roble is 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 occurs as volcanogenic massive sulfide ("VMS") lenses.
Since entering into an option agreement in January 2011 to acquire 90% of El Roble, Atico has aggressively explored the mine and surrounding claims. The company has completed 11,740 meters of diamond drilling and identified numerous prospective targets for VMS deposits on the 6,679-hectare property. This exploration led to the discovery of high-grade copper and gold mineralization below the 2000 level, the lowest production level of the El Roble mine.
National Instrument 43-101 compliant inferred mineral resource are 1.58 million tonnes grading 4.45 % copper and 3.17 g/t gold, at a cut-off grade of 0.72 % copper equivalent. Mineralization is open at depth and along strike and the company plans to 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. 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.

Ich vermute, dass in der Mine bisher schlampig gearbeitet wurde. Die Grade die herausgeholt worden sind, liegen deutlich unter den Graden der Ressourcen. Ich kann mir gut vorstellen, dass es im Minenbetrieb zu massiver Verwässerung gekommen ist, die Unterscheidung zwischen Erz und Abraum nicht so genau getroffen wurde. Häufig bekommen die Arbeiter nur quantitative Vorgaben. Oder die gewählte Abbautechnik war nicht passend. Allein hier sehe ich durch die neuen Besitzer erhebliches Verbesserungspotential. Ich vermute, die Ganozas haben das Projekt auch unter dem Gesichtspunkt des Optimierungspotenzials ausgesucht.
Ein Länderrisiko besteht natürlich, zumindest aber lief der Betrieb der Mine seit Bestehen doch recht reibungslos.
