(\"ATAC\") (TSXV: ATC) (OTCQB: ATADF) is pleased to provide an update on grassroots exploration conducted in 2021 at its 64 km\n \n 2\n \n 100%-owned Rosy Property, located 77 km east of\n \n Whitehorse\n \n ,\n \n Yukon\n \n . The road-accessible Rosy property hosts numerous low-sulphidation epithermal quartz-carbonate veins with gold and silver mineralization.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Rosy Exploration Highlights\n \n \n \n \n 2021 soil sampling\n \n extended the previous gold-in-soil anomaly\n \n \n north\n \n \n by\n \n 500 m\n \n \n over a total area of\n \n 3.5 x 2.0 km\n \n ;\n \n \n Soil samples returned values including\n \n 0.57 g/t gold, 0.25 g/t gold and 0.17 g/t gold\n \n ; and\n \n \n Historical rock grab samples have returned up to\n \n 35.92 g/t gold and 1,835 g/t silver\n \n .\n \n \n \n \n \"Grassroots work at Rosy this year has significantly expanded the previously known gold-in-soil anomaly,\"\n \n stated President and CEO,\n \n Graham Downs\n \n .\n \n \"While Rosy has seen only sporadic historical exploration, with a limited portion of the property covered by geochemical surveys, this work has already identified significant gold targets. Follow-up exploration to further refine our targets and to better evaluate the epithermal gold-silver potential at Rosy is clearly warranted.\"\n \n \n \n \n 2021 Exploration Details\n \n \n \n Exploration work at Rosy in 2021 consisted of a small soil sampling program, with a total of 473 samples collected. This work included broad regional contour sampling in under-explored portions of the property as well as additional grid sampling along trend of known anomalies.\n \n \n A base-of-slope contour sample traverse north of the previously defined gold-in-soil anomaly extended the target area by\n \n 500 m\n \n into the next valley (\n \n Figu...
