(TSX-V:ATC) (\"ATAC\") is pleased to announce that Phase One of the 2019 exploration program will begin on June 1st. The program will focus on the 660-km2 Rau Project, located at the western end of its Rackla Gold Property.\n\n \n \n\n \nThis year's program will follow-up on high-grade gold, copper and silver results from 2018, as well as additional exploration opportunities proximal to the Rackla Pluton. \nProgram Summary\nGround based induced-polarization (IP) and magnetic surveys over a 12 km2 area covering the Bobcat target and the Rackla Pluton; Approximately 4,000 m of diamond and rotary air-blast (RAB) drilling on priority targets;Detailed geologic mapping, hand-pitting and rock sampling over the Bobcat Target and Rackla Pluton areas; and,Additional reconnaissance-scale mapping, soil sampling, and prospecting to refine other targets including the 2.2 km gold-in-soil Spotlight target. \"ATAC is excited to embark on a systematic exploration program at the Rau Property that we believe will lead to a meaningful discovery,\" commented President and CEO Graham Downs. \"The Rau Project has seen limited drilling outside of the Tiger Deposit area, but ongoing mapping and prospecting programs have outlined a series of high-priority areas that will be drill ready this summer. The regional evidence suggests intrusive sources for a series of high-grade, polymetallic occurrences that include compelling gold, copper and silver skarn and manto targets. Any new discoveries in this area will benefit from the proximity to the pending 65-km tote road that will connect the project to the Yukon highway network.\"\nDetailed exploration will focus on a 12 km2 area surrounding the Bobcat Target, which returned numerous multi-gram gold and multi-percent copper grab samples; including: 6.07 g/t gold with 7.41% copper; and 7.37 ...
