Dear valued shareholder,

With the upcoming March 6, 2008 special meeting of shareholders less than two weeks away, we have received voting instructions from many of our shareholders, but your vote has not yet been received . Please know that your vote is critical to the outcome of this meeting regardless of how many shares you own.

Canyon Resources is asking shareholders to approve and adopt the Agreement and Plan the merger with Atna Resources Ltd. Please reference the proxy materials previously mailed to you for additional information.

RiskMetrics Group, formerly, Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS), the leading proxy advisory firm that issues voting recommendations to institutional investors, mutual and pension funds and other fiduciaries , has recommended that holders of Canyon Resources Corporation vote “FOR” the proposed merger agreement.

The Board of Directors has unanimously approved the proposed merger as well.

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

Regardless of the number of shares you own, it is important that they be represented. Your vote matters to us and we need your support.

We strongly encourage you to vote your shares today. Voting is easy. You may utilize one of the options below to ensure that your vote is promptly recorded in time for the special meeting:
