(\"ATAC\") (TSXV: ATC) is pleased to provide an update on 2021 exploration work at its wholly-owned 137.3 km\n \n 2\n \n Connaught property.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The road-accessible\n \n Connaught\n \n property is located at the head of the Sixty Mile placer camp near\n \n Dawson City\n \n ,\n \n Yukon\n \n . The project demonstrates compelling\n \n copper-molybdenum\n \n \n ±\n \n \n gold porphyry potential\n \n and hosts\n \n 26 distinct silver-lead-zinc-gold-copper\n \n \n epithermal\n \n \n \n veins. The 2021 exploration program focused on evaluating the copper porphyry potential.\n \n \n \n 2021 Connaught Exploration Highlights\n \n \n \n \n Rock grab samples from trenches returned up to\n \n 0.69% copper within a quartz monzonite porphyry\n \n \n and\n \n \n 0.17% copper in an intrusion breccia\n \n ;\n \n \n Multiple trenches returned\n \n broad zones of highly anomalous copper\n \n within a quartz monzonite porphyry in areas where copper values are expected to be depleted due to surface leaching, including\n \n 331 ppm copper over\n \n 93 m\n \n \n in Trench 21-A, and\n \n 548 ppm copper over\n \n 69 m\n \n \n in Trench 21-B;\n \n \n \n 9 out of 10 trenches revealed visual copper mineralization\n \n (malachite, azurite, tenorite, and chalcopyrite) within a 400 x\n \n 500 m\n \n area anomalous for copper- and molybdenum-in-soil; and\n \n \n Induced Polarization (IP) and ground magnetic surveys revealed\n \n strong geophysical anomalies\n \n that are co-incident with zones of elevated copper- and molybdenum-in soil.\n \n \n \n \n \"We are extremely encouraged with the early exploration results from\n \n Connaught\n \n , as they strongly support the presence of a copper-molybdenum porphyry. The copper values at surface are very impressive given the extent of surface leachi...
