(\"ATAC\") (TSXV: ATC), (OTCQB: ATADF) is pleased to announce results of Phase 1 surface exploration work at the PIL property, located in the heart of\n \n British Columbia's\n \n Toodoggone district. This work program included prospecting, mapping, and Induced Polarization (\"IP\") geophysical surveys. Phase 2 fieldwork was recently completed, including follow-up prospecting, mapping, and re-sampling of historical core, with results pending.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Exploration Highlights\n \n \n \n \n Prospecting returned high-grade samples, including\n \n 78.30 g/t gold with 2,830 g/t silver\n \n at the Atlas target (\n \n Figure 2\n \n ), and\n \n 18.40% copper with 111 g/t silver\n \n at the Spruce target (\n \n Figure 3\n \n );\n \n \n \n \n Sampling at the PIL South target returned strong mineralization in outcrop, including\n \n 3.89% copper with 173 ppm silver in a large underexplored 2.3 x 1.5 km copper-gold\n \n ±\n \n silver-lead-zinc soil anomaly\n \n (\n \n Figure 4\n \n );\n \n \n \n \n Geophysical surveys identified a\n \n strong chargeability response underlying the PIL South\n \n target area within propylitically altered volcanic rocks (\n \n Figure 5\n \n ); and\n \n \n \n \n Crews have recently completed a Phase 2 program including additional prospecting at PIL South and re-sampling of historical Atlas drill core.\n \n \n \n \"\n \n This initial program at PIL has defined a number of priority targets for follow-up work\n \n ,\" stated ATAC's president and CEO,\n \n Graham Downs\n \n . \"\n \n Sampling at Spruce returned the highest copper grades ever collected on the property. The Atlas target shows strong potential for high grade epithermal gold-silver mineralization. PIL South has an extensive copper-in-soil response that is now coupled with strong copper m...
