DAVIS, PRESIDENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (303) 629-2440 ATLAS CORPORATION AND MSV RESOURCES INC. BUSINESS COMBINATION _____________________________________ Denver, CO, April 10, 1996 -- We have been advised that there have been changes in the directors and management of MSV Resources Inc. Atlas believes that as a result of these changes, it is unlikely that the previously announced business combination between Atlas and MSV will proceed. Atlas considers certain actions by MSV to constitute a breach of the publicly announced Agreement of March 5, 1996 between Atlas and MSV. Atlas intends to explore all available avenues of legal redress. ##### Page 5 of 5 -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
