About ATAC

ATAC is a Yukon-based exploration company focused on developing Canada�s only Carlin-type gold district at the Rackla Gold Property. Recent work on the ~1,700 km² project has resulted in a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Tiger Gold Deposit, drilling of multiple high-grade Carlin-type gold zones and the identification of numerous early-stage gold exploration targets. ATAC and Barrick recently partnered to explore the Rackla Gold Property�s Orion Project, with Barrick having the option to earn up to 70% of Orion by spending $55 million in exploration. ATAC is well-financed with approximately $22 million in its treasury and will conduct a $10 million, ~15,000 m drilling exploration program at the Osiris and Rau projects in 2017 (which are not subject to Barrick�s earn-in right), while concurrently working with Barrick to advance the Orion Project.
