TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - May 6, 2010) - Ateba Resources Inc. ("Ateba" or the "Company") (CNSX:ATR) is pleased to announce that it has completed the first phase of a surface sampling program on its 100% optioned Walsh Katrine Gold property in the Kirkland-Larder Lake Gold Mining Camp of north eastern Ontario. The Property is located about 30 km northeast of Kirkland Lake and approximately 11 km north-northwest of the Kerr-Addison Mine in Virginiatown. A map and further information regarding the Walsh Katrine Gold property is available on the Company website: [ www.atebaresources.ca ].
The Company is following up on showings reported from the early 1900s and from more recently uncovered showings found in the 1990s. Documents from the early 1900s clearly show 4 quartz veins associated with a secondary structure.
"With this program of stripping, washing, sampling and assaying we have confirmed previously reported high-grade gold on the Property and are working toward a better understanding of the structures and gold-bearing vein sets," commented Bill Dickie, President and CEO."We intend to continue with surface stripping, sampling and mapping in preparation for a summer diamond drilling program."
A total of 37 samples were collected and delivered to Swastika Laboratories Ltd. for analysis. Highlights from the current program are as follows:
| Sample Type | Location | Gold (g/t) | Copper (ppm) | Width (m) |
| Grab | Trench #3 | 7.27 | 1950 | -- |
| Grab | Trench #3 | 13.54 | 1810 | -- |
| Grab | Trench #3 | 11.45 | 1117 | -- |
| Grab | Trench #4 | 17.61 | 15 | -- |
| Grab | Trench #5 | 6.99 | 711 | -- |
| Grab | Waste Dump* | 2.23 | 107 | -- |
| Channel #1 | Trench #3 | 1.1 | 29 | 2.4 |
| Channel #3 | Trench #2 | 2.4 | 59 | 0.8 |
*the "Waste Dump" is a result of historical mining during the late 1920s.
The new trenches are numbered 1 through 5 as they proceed in a north-westerly direction from the old shaft area towards the pit previously referred to as the Gagne (now Trench #5). The distance from Trench #1 to Trench #5 is about 450 metres.
Highlights from historic assays reported from the same area include:
| Year | Location | Au (g/t) | Au (oz/t) | Width (m) | Length (m) |
| 1910/23 | vein 1 | 8.40 | 0.25 | -- | 305 |
| including | 15.70 | 0.46 | 0.4 | -- | |

| including | 7.20 | 0.21 | 0.6 | -- | |
| 1996 | Gagne** | 4.80 | 0.14 | 1.5 | -- |
**the Gagne showing was discovered circa 1996 and is about 600 m northwest of the original pitting which predate the shaft on the Property. Additional grab samples from this showing assayed up to 15.82 g/t Au (0.46 oz/t Au) and 17.30 g/t Au (0.51 oz/t Au).
