Slide 12: ATAC's Discoveries
ATAC’s Discoveries • Five Carlin-type zones discovered to date, all open-ended • Additional district-scale targets • Gold mineralization associated with orpiment-realgar, key indicator minerals for Carlin-type deposits Osiris Drill Core 12 TSX.V - SMD
Slide 13: District Scale Targets
District Scale Targets • Orpiment-realgar confirmed or discovered in four locations • Large pathfinder +/- gold geochemical anomalies outlined • 2012 drilling program to test seven priority targets 13 TSX.V - SMD
Slide 14: Trent Zone, Crag Property
Trent Zone, Crag Property Trent Drill Core • Located 40 km west of ATAC’s Osiris discovery • Drilling at Trent zone confirmed presence of orpiment and realgar over 400 m strike length and to 230 m depth • Strong pathfinder signature consistent with upper portions of Carlin system • Increasing gold v
Slide 15: Crag South Zone
Crag South Zone • Geochemical sampling outlined 700 m long soil anomaly with highest gold values on Crag property • Will be drill tested in 2012 15 TSX.V - SMD
Slide 16: Other New Discoveries
Other New Discoveries • Geochemical results from 2011 surveys returned strong pathfinder +/- gold anomalies over large areas • Preliminary prospecting of only a few geochemical anomalies has discovered three new zones of strong orpiment-realgar mineralization 16 TSX.V - SMD
