Athabasca Minerals Inc. (the "Corporation" or "Athabasca") (TSX VENTURE:ABM) is
pleased to announce the filing of its Q2 financial results for the three months
ended May 31, 2013. Athabasca reports the following highlights from Q2 2013: 




--  Record second quarter revenues in the amount of $6,278,678 compared with
    $3,209,483 during Q2 2012; 
--  Net aggregate sales from corporate-owned operations in the amount of
    $3,851,656 compared with $443,705 during Q2 2012; 
--  EPS of $0.030; 
--  Q2 net income of $847,445 compared with $721,252 during Q2 2012; 
--  Increased activity at the corporate-owned Kearl aggregate operation with
    140,945 tonnes sold during Q2. 



During Q2 the Corporation earned net income of $847,445, which included
significant amounts for non-cash items. Q2 2013 YTD net income, adjusted for
non- cash items, was $2,472,733 compared to $2,397,490 in the comparative
period, an increase of 3.1%. 


The Corporation continued its transition to supplying sand and gravel from
corporate-owned aggregate operations, while maintaining management activities at
the Susan Lake aggregate operation. During Q2 2013, management continued to
improve efficiency associated with the corporate-owned aggregate operations, and
although regular intermittent stoppages occurred due to weather, over 317,000
tonnes of sand and gravel were processed. Operations at Logan and House River
are expected to resume at such time that winter roads can be accessed and
product is deliverable. 


The Corporation continues to await its development permit for the Firebag frac
sand project and railway land facility. Upon receipt of this permit, news will
be disseminated. 


President Dom Kriangkum states; "We are very pleased with the return to
profitability after a challenging first quarter, and anticipate gravel
production and delivery will improve in the second half of the year, consistent
with previous year's activity. In addition to our growing equipment fleet we
have doubled our workforce compared to last year, and continue to evaluate new
industrial mineral properties and bid on new projects located near Fort
McMurray." Mr. Kriangkum also adds; "The recent announcement by the Alberta
Government to expand the boundaries of the City of Fort McMurray by 22,000
hectares further demonstrates the growth in the region, which should result in
increased demands for sand and gravel. Our Corporation remains committed to
being a major sand and gravel supplier to Fort McMurray."
