(\"\n \n Western Atlas\n \n \" or the \"\n \n Company\n \n \") (TSXV: WA), is pleased to provide an update on the Company's 2021 exploration program at its Meadowbank Project located in\n \n Nunavut, Canada\n \n . The upcoming exploration program is the continuation of the winter logging and sampling conducted between January and\n \n April 2021\n \n and will comprise of additional structural and geological mapping (scale ranging from 1:5,000 to 1:2,000 over selected targets) and sampling within Meadowbank Blocks A and B.\n \n \n Additional review and integrated interpretation of the exploration data conducted during the first quarter of 2021 identified an additional target within Block B, namely Target B4 (\n \n see Figure 1 and 2\n \n ), for follow up with additional mapping, tighter sampling and potential drilling.\n \n \n Mapping in the central portion of Block B will focus on volcanic rocks in order to determine the potential stratigraphic relationship with the intermediate volcanics of the Meadowbank deposit area. Structural data obtained during the exploration program will be also used to estimate the thickness of the Amarulik formation sediments which cover volcanics in the larger part of the Block B and that is potentially overlying the intermediate volcanic host rocks of the Meadowbank deposit in this area.\n \n \n The Western Atlas' Meadowbank Project covers over 58,000 hectares (580 square km) and lies adjacent to, and along trend of Agnico Eagle's Meadowbank and Amaruq producing gold mines.\n \n \n The Western Atlas team has received clearance from the Chief Public Health Officer of\n \n Nunavut\n \n (\"CPHO\") an...
