ATAC Manager Vanessa Pickering on Yukon gold assays including 6.08 g/t over 26.1m
ATAC Resources Ltd TSXV:ATC announced results from its Rackla Gold Project in central Yukon.
Highlights include
6.08 g/t gold over 26.1 metres
3.09 g/t over 31 metres
(including 4.09 g/t over 20.6 metres)
4.14 g/t over 22 metres
(including 7.18 g/t over 10.7 metres)
3.49 g/t over 18.5 metres
(including 7.64 g/t over 6.3 metres)
2.77 g/t over 22.9 metres
(including 3.78 over 9.2 metres)
3.4 g/t over 15.2 metres
Manager of Corporate Communications Vanessa Pickering tells ResourceClips.com, “The Rackla Gold Belt is 1,600 square kilometres, one of the largest contiguous land packages in the Yukon, if not the largest. It includes the Rau Trend with the Tiger Zone deposit and the Nadaleen Trend, which contains the Osiris area with its Carlin-type mineralization.
“I think today’s results are in line with what we expected, and we’re pleased to see how it’s holding together. We’re quite happy with what we’ve done this year. We expect to do about the same next year.
“We have about 50 holes left to report, and that’s from both sides of the property, the Nadaleen Trend and the Rau Trend. We’ve just done a resource for the west side of the property, and we’d like to know more about the east side, which is where today’s results came from.”
Released October 20, the project’s Tiger Deposit has a resource estimate of 7.1 million tonnes grading 2.21 g/t for 508,000 ounces gold indicated and 8.2 million tonnes grading 1.09 g/t for 290,200 ounces gold inferred.
“A lot of that is high-grade oxide gold, near-surface gold,” Pickering says.
“The Rau Trend, which is the area we worked on from about 2006 to 2010 and a bit this year, is not Carlin-type mineralization. It’s kind of Nevada-esque, we would say, but not Carlin. But it’s completely different from what’s at the east end, 100 kilometres at the Nadaleen Trend, which is the Carlin-type mineralization that we’re chasing. It’s Canada’s only Carlin-type mineralization.
“We’ve also found silver-lead-zinc at the Ocelot Discovery in the Rau Trend,” she adds. “Of course, we’re in the Keno Hill silver-mining district.
“At the west side of the property we’re about 48 or 50 clicks from the government-maintained highway that goes through the Keno Hill Mining District. Infrastructure is a big consideration in what we do. The new discovery, the Carlin-type trend, is about 100 kilometres away from the other area. So that 48-kilometre proposed access route would grow exponentially. For that reason, we’re not chasing a small deposit. It would have to be five-million-plus ounces out on the east end of the property to justify building roads. Right now, we are fixed-wing; we have three airstrips on the property, one at the Rau Trend, one sort of in the middle and one at the Nadaleen Trend. Two of those airstrips were commissioned just this year. So that’s going to take the weight off of being entirely helicopter-supported. This has to have enough ounces to justify building infrastructure out there.
“ATAC is purely an exploration company,” she points out. “That’s what we’re good at—making discoveries, making grassroots discoveries using the technical knowledge of our team. We don’t go into production, it’s not our business focus.”
Looking ahead to next year, Pickering says, “We probably won’t resume drilling until May, when the snow goes. The guys shut down just last week, so the drilling season goes until mid-October or the end of October. This year we’re building a new camp out at the east end, the Carlin trend. We had our guys out there in March to start building. So all they have to do now is go in and flick on the lights. The drills are there now, waiting for them. As soon as the snow goes, they can start drilling.”

ATAC Resources Ltd. Announces 2012 Exploration and Drilling Plans for its Rackla Gold Project, Yukon
March 1, 2012 - Vancouver, BC - (TSX-V:ATC) ATAC Resources Ltd. ("ATAC") is pleased to outline its 2012 exploration and drilling plan for its 100% owned, 1,600 sq/km Rackla Gold Project, which hosts Canada's only Carlin-Type gold discoveries.
The 2012 exploration and drilling program will focus on the continued expansion and definition of the Conrad, Osiris, Isis and Isis East gold discoveries within the Nadaleen Trend. All the gold zones identified to date are distinct and each has the potential for significant expansion and, given their proximity to each other, demonstrate the gold endowment potential characteristic of Carlin Type deposits. The 2012 program will also include additional work on several high-priority property-wide Carlin-Type targets identified in 2011 which appear to be similar to the Conrad, Osiris and Isis East Zones and the Tiger Deposit.
A summary of the 2012 program is detailed below.
2012 Exploration Plans:
30,000 metres of diamond drilling (using six drill rigs) commencing in early June with the majority of drilling to be focused on the Nadaleen Trend where four zones of Carlin-Type mineralization have been confirmed to date;
Expansion and definition diamond drilling on the Conrad, Osiris, Isis and Isis East Zones;
Scout drill testing of structural targets along the Nadaleen feeder fault and other structures that exhibit surface pathfinder element signatures;
Auger drilling to begin in April at the Pyramid target to identify the bedrock source of a 500 by 200 m gold pathfinder arsenic/thallium soil geochemical anomaly coincident with abundant orpiment and realgar cobbles and boulders in glacial till;
Optional early season drilling at the Ocelot silver-lead-zinc discovery within the Rau Trend pending results of spring geophysical surveys; and
Follow up prospecting, geological mapping and detailed soil sampling of 15 high priority gold and pathfinder geochemical anomalies identified in 2011 along the 185 km long Rackla Gold Project claim block.
Nadaleen Trend
The 2012 diamond drilling program will target the four drill confirmed Carlin-Type gold discoveries within the Nadaleen Trend at the east end of the Project. Six drills will begin definition and expansion drilling at the Conrad, Osiris, Isis East and Isis Zones in early June.
Three of the six drills are allocated to further expand and define the Conrad Zone discovery area. The Conrad Zone is characterized by multiple stacked, continuous tabular zones of gold mineralization related to the nearby Nadaleen feeder fault system. It has a current drill confirmed strike length of 475 m and extends to a depth of 490 m. Significant diamond drill results from 2011 drilling at the Conrad Zone include 82.29 m grading 4.08 g/t gold (OS-11-010) and 41.15 m grading 7.33 g/t gold (OS-11-058).
One diamond drill will be used to expand gold mineralization at the Osiris Zone where stratabound gold mineralization is hosted by limestone in the apex and both limbs of a moderately plunging anticline. Drilling will continue testing the steeply dipping western limb of the Osiris limestone unit towards the projected intersection with the Nadaleen feeder fault where the structural setting is similar to the higher grade Conrad Zone. The east limb of the Osiris limestone unit contains an untested 150 by 200 m gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly where a five metre hand trench channel sample returned 25.76 g/t gold. Highlights from 2011 drilling at the Osiris Zone include 32.01 m grading 4.25 g/t gold (OS-11-031) and 26.12 m grading 6.08 g/t gold (OS-11-055).
The Isis East Zone is a new gold discovery located 500 m south of the Osiris Zone in a fault repeat of the Osiris limestone unit. Two holes intersected this zone in late 2011. Hole OS-11-040 intersected 38.10 m of 3.33 g/t gold and OS-11-073 intersected 51.82 m of 3.13 g/t gold. These holes were drilled 75 m apart and lie within a large 450 by 100 m gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly. Two diamond drills will initially test this zone which remains open in all directions.
The Isis Zone is located 800 m northwest of the Isis East zone and is situated in the same unit as the Isis East zone. This zone is marked by a 600 by 200 m gold-in-soil anomaly with associated grab samples from talus that graded from <0.01 to 23.9 g/t gold. Detailed mapping, prospecting and mechanized trenching will be carried out in early 2012 to better define drill targets for later in the year.
Regional stream sediment sampling and follow up grid soil sampling conducted in 2011 identified the Pyramid and Dale gold pathfinder arsenic/thallium anomalies 20 and 10 km west of the Osiris area gold zones. Prospecting at the Pyramid identified a glacially dispersed 150 by 80 m orpiment/realgar (arsenic sulphides) cobble field within a larger 500 by 200 m arsenic/thallium soil anomaly. Follow up drilling of the Pyramid target intersected encouraging alteration and anomalous gold. Approximately 50 auger drill holes will be completed in March 2012 in order to vector in on the bedrock source of the extensive arsenic float train and potential gold mineralization.
Deep-seated, long-lived faults are the plumbing conduits for Carlin-Type mineralizing fluids. Gold is deposited where these faults intersect reactive limestone units. In the Osiris area, the Nadaleen Fault has been identified as a long-lived feeder structure by isotopic age dating and clay mineral alteration studies. Gold mineralization at the Osiris and Conrad Zones is related to this structure. Over 1,700 silt and 12,000 soil samples were collected from the 185 km long Rackla Gold Project in 2011. Geological mapping and satellite surveys identified numerous other fault structures elsewhere on the Project that correspond to pathfinder element geochemical anomalies. Fifteen priority targets have been identified for focussed follow-up work in 2012 in order to develop drill targets from these new areas of interest.
Rau Trend
The Rau Trend lies at the western end of the Rackla Gold Project and hosts the Tiger Gold Deposit as well as the 2011 Ocelot silver-lead-zinc discovery. Several areas of untested gold, gold-pathfinder and silver-lead-zinc geochemical anomalies will receive focussed follow up work in 2012.
Given the high in situ oxide gold grades in the Tiger Zone, ATAC will review different approaches for further development of this discovery in 2012, to maximize its value to the Company and its shareholders.
The Ocelot silver-lead-zinc discovery has received a total of 19 diamond drill holes which defined a mineralized zone measuring 230 by 150 m. Drill hole OC-11-010 from 2011 intersected 63.44 m of 73.81 g/t silver, 2.44% lead and 8.18% zinc. In March 2012, geophysical surveys will be conducted over and along the trend of the Ocelot discovery. Pending favourable results from this survey, a small diamond drill program (1,500 to 3,000 m) will commence in April to evaluate the potential for additional mineralization.
The technical information in this news release has been reviewed by Robert C. Carne, M.Sc., P.Geo., a qualified person for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101.
March 1, 2012 - Vancouver, BC - (TSX-V:ATC) ATAC Resources Ltd. ("ATAC") is pleased to outline its 2012 exploration and drilling plan for its 100% owned, 1,600 sq/km Rackla Gold Project, which hosts Canada's only Carlin-Type gold discoveries.

Nadaleen Trend
The 2012 diamond drilling program will target the four drill confirmed Carlin-Type gold discoveries within the Nadaleen Trend at the east end of the Project. Six drills will begin definition and expansion drilling at the Conrad, Osiris, Isis East and Isis Zones in early June.
Three of the six drills are allocated to further expand and define the Conrad Zone discovery area. The Conrad Zone is characterized by multiple stacked, continuous tabular zones of gold mineralization related to the nearby Nadaleen feeder fault system.

Approximately 50 auger drill holes will be completed in March 2012 in order to vector in on the bedrock source of the extensive arsenic float train and potential gold mineralization.
Deep-seated, long-lived faults are the plumbing conduits for Carlin-Type mineralizing fluids. Gold is deposited where these faults intersect reactive limestone units. In the Osiris area, the Nadaleen Fault has been identified as a long-lived feeder structure by isotopic age dating and clay mineral alteration studies. Gold mineralization at the Osiris and Conrad Zones is related to this structure. Over 1,700 silt and 12,000 soil samples were collected from the 185 km long Rackla Gold Project in 2011. Geological mapping and satellite surveys identified numerous other fault structures elsewhere on the Project that correspond to pathfinder element geochemical anomalies. Fifteen priority targets have been identified for focussed follow-up work in 2012 in order to develop drill targets from these new areas of interest.
Rau Trend
The Rau Trend lies at the western end of the Rackla Gold Project and hosts the Tiger Gold Deposit as well as the 2011 Ocelot silver-lead-zinc discovery. Several areas of untested gold, gold-pathfinder and silver-lead-zinc geochemical anomalies will receive focussed follow up work in 2012.
Given the high in situ oxide gold grades in the Tiger Zone, ATAC will review different approaches for further development of this discovery in 2012, to maximize its value to the Company and its shareholders.
The Ocelot silver-lead-zinc discovery has received a total of 19 diamond drill holes which defined a mineralized zone measuring 230 by 150 m. Drill hole OC-11-010 from 2011 intersected 63.44 m of 73.81 g/t silver, 2.44% lead and 8.18% zinc. In March 2012, geophysical surveys will be conducted over and along the trend of the Ocelot discovery. Pending favourable results from this survey, a small diamond drill program (1,500 to 3,000 m) will commence in April to evaluate the potential for additional mineralization.

ATAC Resources Ltd. Announces the Commencement of its 2012 Exploration and Drilling Program at its Rackla Gold Project, Yukon
May 15, 2012 - Vancouver, BC - (TSX-V:ATC) ATAC Resources Ltd. ("ATAC") is pleased to announce that it has begun phase one of a two phase exploration and drilling program at its 100% owned, 1,600 sq/km Rackla Gold Project, which hosts Canada's only Carlin-Type gold discoveries.
Diamond drilling has commenced with one drill on the Isis East Zone, ramping up to three drills there within the month. Drilling at Isis East will continue testing a 450 metre gold in soil geochemical anomaly where initial drilling last year intersected strong Carlin-type gold mineralization of 3.33 g/t gold over 38.10 m (OS-11-040) and 3.13 g/t gold over 51.82 m (OS-11-073).
An additional two diamond drills will begin expanding the Conrad Zone within the week. The Conrad Zone is characterized by multiple stacked, continuous tabular zones of Carlin-type gold mineralization related to the nearby Nadaleen feeder fault system. It has a current drill confirmed strike length of 475 m and has been explored to a depth of 490 m. Significant Conrad results from 2011 include 82.29 m grading 4.08 g/t gold (OS-11-010) and 41.15 m grading 7.33 g/t gold (OS-11-058).
A sixth diamond drill will focus on the Osiris Zone to the north, exploring towards the intersection of the Nadaleen feeder fault system and the Osiris limestone unit. Highlights from 2011 drilling at the Osiris Zone include 32.01 m grading 4.25 g/t gold (OS-11-031) and 26.12 m grading 6.08 g/t gold (OS-11-055).
All the gold zones identified to date are distinct and each has the potential for significant expansion. Given their proximity to each other, they demonstrate the gold endowment potential characteristic of Carlin-type deposits.
Regional Exploration
Auger drilling commenced mid-April at the Pyramid Target which is located 20 km west of the Osiris Zone within the Nadaleen Trend. It is one of over fifteen early-stage gold targets that were identified in 2011. The Pyramid Target is defined by an extensive glacially dispersed orpiment/realgar (arsenic sulphides) cobble field measuring 150 by 80 m that lies within a larger 500 by 200 m arsenic/thallium soil anomaly. Arsenic sulphides and thallium are strong gold pathfinder elements similar to those found at the Conrad, Osiris, Isis and Isis East Zones. Approximately 60 auger holes will be drilled through glacially transported overburden to vector in on the bedrock source of the cobble field float train. Follow up diamond drilling at the Pyramid Target will take place in 2012. Please visit our website for maps and figures on the Pyramid Target.
2012 Exploration Program
15,000 metres of diamond drilling in phase one, with the majority of drilling to be focused on the Nadaleen Trend where four priority zones of Carlin-Type gold mineralization have been confirmed to date - Conrad, Osiris, Isis and Isis East;
Expansion and definition diamond drilling of the Conrad, Osiris, Isis and Isis East Zones;
Scout drill testing of structural targets along the Nadaleen feeder fault and other structures that exhibit surface pathfinder element signatures to evaluate "leakage anomalies" for potential mineralization at depth;
Continued auger drilling at the Pyramid target to identify the bedrock source of a 500 by 200 m gold pathfinder arsenic/thallium soil geochemical anomaly coincident with abundant orpiment and realgar cobbles and boulders in glacial till;
Geophysical surveys on the Ocelot silver-lead-zinc discovery within the Rau Trend; and,
Follow up prospecting, geological mapping and detailed soil sampling of 15 high priority gold and pathfinder geochemical anomalies identified in 2011 along the 185 km long Rackla Gold Project claim block.

ATAC Resources Ltd. Intersects 46.06 m of 11.24 g/t Gold at the Conrad Zone, Rackla Gold Project-Yukon
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - July 18, 2012) - ATAC Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:ATC) is pleased to report the first ten diamond drill hole results of 2012 from the Conrad and Isis East Zones within the Nadaleen Trend at the eastern end of its 100% owned 1,600 sq/km Rackla Gold Project in central Yukon.
News release highlights:
Highest grade gold intersection to date at the Conrad Zone with 46.06 m grading 11.24 g/t gold in hole OS-12-103.
Isis East discovery extended with step-out holes along a 200 m strike length to a depth of 225 m in the crest of an anticlinal fold.
Six drills are operating and 15,000 m in 58 holes have been drilled since the May 22 program start with 4 drills currently on Conrad, and 2 on the Osiris Zone.
"We are very pleased with the developing continuity and the high-grade nature of the first 2012 drill-holes at the Conrad Zone. Holes OS-12-98 and OS-12-103 intersected mineralization near surface with the highest grade intervals that we have encountered to date," states Graham Downs, ATAC's CEO. "The fact that we have also extended gold mineralization at Isis East by stepping-out from the 2011 discovery holes is also encouraging and drilling continues to test for further down-dip and strike extensions."
Five Carlin-type gold exploration targets were outlined in 2011 by wide-spaced diamond drilling within a 3 by 4 km area in the Nadaleen Trend. The 2012 drill program will expand and better define those known areas of mineralization, as well as test a number of undrilled geochemical anomalies.
Conrad Zone
The Conrad Zone has a current strike length of approximately 475 m and extends 490 m below surface. The zone remains open in all directions. Some of the best grades and longest intersections from previous drilling are located at a shallow depth in the crest area of an anticlinal fold at or near the contact of relatively impermeable silty shale with an underlying limestone unit. The potential for additional deep high-grade gold mineralization as encountered in hole OS-11-036 (8.06 g/t gold over 21.34 m starting from 687.32 m down hole) will also be systematically tested in 2012. Drill hole cross-sections and a plan-view map can be viewed on the Company's website at www.atacresources.com. Significant results for the first five 2012 Conrad holes received to date are tabulated below.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 23, 2013) - ATAC Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:ATC) is pleased to provide a summary of recently compiled results from the Company's 2012 regional-scale exploration program conducted across its 100% owned 1,700 sq/km Rackla Gold Project in central Yukon.
The comprehensive 2012 program consisted of stream sediment and soil geochemical surveys, prospecting, mapping, hand pitting, hand trenching and satellite image structural lineament analyses. Exploration emphasis was directed at previously unexplored areas outside the drilled zones along the 40 km long Nadaleen Trend at the eastern end of the property and within the 35 km long Rau Trend containing the Tiger Deposit at the western end. A total of 19,693 soil samples, 1,219 stream sediment samples and 1,526 rock samples were collected along the 185 km long property. Highlights are listed below:
2012 Regional Exploration Highlights:
Wide spaced soil sampling identifies ten new Tier 1 Carlin-type pathfinder±gold anomalies within the Nadaleen Trend;
Follow-up exploration of two 2011 Nadaleen Trend anomalies late in the 2012 field season resulted in the drill discovery of the Anubis and Sunrise Zones (Anubis discovery hole AN-12-001 intersected 8.51 m of 19.85 g/t gold and Sunrise discovery hole OS-12-114 intersected 14.86 m of 10.54 g/t gold);
Detailed follow-up work at the Pharaoh target 13 km northeast of the Osiris area identified Carlin-type mineralization and quartz veins with visible gold. Grab samples from the quartz vein material returned grades up to 79.40 g/t gold;
Prospecting of a 5.6 km long intermittent gold geochemical anomaly 3 km south of the Tiger Deposit in the Rau Trend resulted in the discovery of the Bengal Showing where outcrop channel samples returned grades greater than 3 g/t gold;
Property-wide stream sediment geochemical surveys have identified 21 anomalous drainages on the property outside the Nadaleen and Rau Trends for follow-up in 2013; and,
Reconnaissance stream silt sampling and geological interpretation beyond the property boundary led to the staking of 84 sq/km of unexplored anomalous drainage basins with favourable Carlin-style geology.
"The ability to consistently make significant new discoveries like Anubis, Pharaoh, Sunrise and Bengal is testimony to the district-scale potential of both trends," states Graham Downs, ATAC's CEO. "With virtually no historical gold exploration along the Rackla Gold Belt and only approximately 16% of the belt having now been geochemically surveyed, we are very optimistic that our ongoing systematic exploration will continue to produce additional discoveries."

ATAC Resources Ltd. Announces $13 Million Strategic Investment by Agnico-Eagle Mines Limited
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 19, 2013) -
NOT FOR DISSEMINATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES AND NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES
ATAC Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:ATC) ("ATAC" or "the Company") announces that Agnico-Eagle Mines Limited ("Agnico-Eagle") today entered into a Subscription Agreement with the Company to make an investment of approximately C$13 million in ATAC by way of a non-brokered private placement consisting of Units. Both Boards of Directors have approved the transaction. Upon completion of this transaction, ATAC's cash position will be approximately C$27 million.
Under the terms of the Subscription Agreement Agnico-Eagle will purchase a total of 9,600,000 Units at a price of C$1.35 per Unit. Each Unit will consist of one common share and one-half of one share purchase warrant (each whole share purchase warrant a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle Agnico-Eagle to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a price of $2.10 for a period of 18 months from closing, provided that, in the event the closing price of the Company's shares as traded on the TSX Venture Exchange exceeds $3.00 for a period of 10 consecutive trading days subsequent to the expiry of the applicable four month hold period, the Company may give notice of an earlier expiry of the Warrants, in which case they would expire 30 calendar days from the receipt of such notice. In the event all of the Warrants are exercised, it would generate an additional C$10,080,000 towards ATAC's working capital. Upon the closing of this private placement, which is subject to regulatory acceptance, Agnico-Eagle will own 8.48% of ATAC's outstanding shares on an undiluted basis (12.21% on a partially diluted basis if all Warrants are exercised). The Subscription Agreement also provides Agnico-Eagle with a participation right pursuant to which, during the two-year period following the closing of the acquisition of the common shares reported herein, and provided that Agnico-Eagle at the time owns more than five percent of the then issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, Agnico-Eagle has the right to participate in certain subsequent equity offerings by the Company on the same terms as the other participants in such offerings in order to maintain its pro rata investment in the Company.
Sean Boyd, President and CEO of Agnico-Eagle commented, "We have been actively following ATAC's progress at the Rackla Gold Project for the past three years and recognize their teams' unique skill set and excellent results. Through its investment in ATAC, Agnico-Eagle is pleased to be involved in a project with significant exploration potential in an emerging gold district."
Graham Downs, CEO of ATAC said, "We are very pleased with this strategic investment from Agnico-Eagle, whose commitment to excellence in growth through exploration and development, aligns with ATAC's objective of advancing Canada's first Carlin-type gold discoveries at our 100% owned Rackla Gold Project. Agnico-Eagle's investment in ATAC is a testament to the quality of discoveries made on the project to date, and provides sufficient funds for multiple years of exploration."
The proceeds of the transaction will be used to continue exploration and development of ATAC's Rackla Gold Project in Yukon. The Rackla Gold Project is divided into two distinct trends: the 50 km long Nadaleen Trend which hosts Carlin-type mineralization at the Conrad, Osiris, Isis East, Sunrise and Anubis zones and the Rau Trend which hosts the Tiger Gold Deposit, Ocelot silver-lead-zinc-tin target and the new Bengal gold showing. Property-wide regional exploration has outlined ten Tier 1 Carlin-type pathfinder±gold anomalies within the Nadaleen Trend as well as multiple anomalous targets within the Rau Trend.
