FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This presentation may contain forward-looking statements, including management's assessments of future plans & operations, expectations of
future production, cash flow & earnings. These statements are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks & uncertainties, which
could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.
Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “believes”, “anticipates”, “expects”, “estimates”, “may”, “could”,
“would”, “will”, or “plan”. Since forward looking statements are based on assumptions and address future events and conditions, by their very
nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties.
Actual results relating to, among other things, results of exploration, reclamation, capital costs, and the company’s financial condition and
prospects, could differ materially from those currently anticipated in such statements for many reasons such as but not limited to; changes in
general economic conditions and conditions in the financial markets; changes in demand and prices for the minerals the Company expects to
produce; litigation, legislative, environmental and other judicial, regulatory, political and competitive developments; technological and operational
difficulties encountered in connection with the Company’s activities; and changing foreign exchange rates and other matters discussed in this
presentation.
Persons should not place undue reliance on the Company’s forward-looking statements. Further information regarding these and other factors,
which may cause results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements, are included in the filings by the Company with
securities regulatory authorities. The Company does not assume any obligation to update or revise any forward looking statement that may be
made from time to time by the Company or on its behalf, except in accordance with applicable securities laws, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.

• This team is responsible for multiple discoveries, including some that have
become world class mines.
• TOM MORGAN is a lifetime Yukon prospector with a proven track record of success resulting in many
new discoveries. Throughout his years of experience, Tom has developed a tremendous feel for
Gold mineralization in the Yukon, whether placer or hard rock in origin. He won Yukon Prospector of
The Year Award in 2004, and was an early pioneer who made a significant contribution in confirming
the potential of the White Gold Camp. Tom’s property, was subsequently acquired by Underworld.
Today, this property forms part of what is today the renowned Kinross White Gold Property. Tom’s
experience, reputation and long history of proven success in the Yukon will continue to prove
invaluable to our exploration team.
• Northern Miner magazine ranks Yukon 1st overall jurisdiction in North America for Gold
exploration, Fraser Institute ranks Yukon 4th in the world. These rankings result from both
world-class geological potential and an extremely favorable socio-political
environment.
• Gold systems of this size and potential are only discovered every twenty years and,
therefore, deserve early analyst attention.
• ATAC Resources (ATC) is in the enviable position of being a junior mineral exploration
company that has made a new, potentially large Gold discovery at the right Gold
price, in a low-risk political jurisdiction, at a time when the senior and mid-tier Gold
producers are bidding for assets held by juniors at increasingly early stages of
exploration.

• ATAC’s Osiris and Tiger Gold discoveries lie within its 100%-owned Rau Gold project,
which is situated in the north-eastern Yukon. Rau is ~ 270km east of and in a separate
belt of rocks from the White Gold project that Kinross acquired via the takeover of
Underworld Resources earlier this year, for ~ $140m. ATAC’s market capitalization has
soared from ~ $200m to ~ $600m.
• The senior Gold mining companies have been scouring the planet for the next Carlin-
type Gold districts—Tier One Gold systems containing more than 20moz (the Northern
Carlin Trend itself is host to more than 100moz of past production, and current reserves
and resources).
• The Rau project hosts the Osiris Gold target, a near-surface, sediment-hosted, ―Carlin-
type‖ Gold-arsenic system being drilled for the first time. Hole 1 intersected 4.65g/t
Gold over 65.2m including 9.26 g/t Au over 31.13 m.
• From the ―Osiris horizon‖, surface rock sampling along this 150m-thick, favorable
+2.5km-long horizon locally documented 2–39g/t Gold. One hundred kilometres west,
Rau also hosts the Tiger Gold zone – a carbonate hosted deposit with over 100 drill
holes and +1moz Gold potential.
• A single drill hole on the Conrad zone intersected 8.03 g/t Au over 21.13 m, including
13.60 m grading 11.99 g/t Au. ATAC later reported October 20, 2010 the Nadaleen
Trend (Sten/Osiris discovery) is defined by a 25 km long, 5 km wide, east-west-trending
belt, where stream sediment samples are highly anomalous for arsenic and/or thallium
and mercury. Eight days of surface follow-up and four weeks of reconnaissance drilling
within a restricted eight sq/km area of the Nadaleen Trend revealed five significant
areas of surface Gold showings. Four of these targets were drilled, resulting in three
confirmed Gold discoveries at the Osiris, Conrad and Eaton Showings. The remaining
90% of the Nadaleen Trend will be aggressively explored in 2011. Highest Gold grades
are associated with intense decalcification or decarbonatization and clay alteration
of limestone, and enhanced thallium content -- all of which are signature
characteristics of Carlin-type mineralization.
• Macquarie concurs with ATAC’s Carlin-type Gold model for its new Osiris
target. This analogy is significant, as the prolific northern Carlin Trend in
Nevada is host to over 100M oz of past production and resources.
• This Gold deposit type analogy is based on similarities in:
i) host rock types,
ii) continental margin setting,
iii) alteration/mineralization, and
iv) trace metal signature.
• In 2010, Kaminak supplied abundant evidence that drilling Gold in soils is the best and
most effective Yukon-specific technique for targeting potentially massive ore bodies.
• Kaminak executed the first-ever drill program on the Coffee Gold project. The Coffee
Creek Gold potential was generated and first confirmed by the AXP.V team in the 90s
from a regional Gold silt anomaly followed by an extensive soils and prospecting
mapping program back when Gold was $265.00 an ounce. Kaminak recently drilled
eight separate and closely-spaced Gold discoveries in this same area within a 10-
kilometre strike length. Discovery holes include:
• CFD001 Supremo zone -- 15.5 metres at 17.1 grams per tonne Au;
• CFD006 Latte zone -- 83.93 m at 1.08 g/t Au;
• CFD027 Double-Double zone -- 35 m at 6.3 g/t Au;
• CFD053 Kona zone -- 56.75 m at 2.21 g/t Au and 23 m at 1.92 g/t Au;
• CFD064 Americano zone -- 18 m at 2.36 g/t Au;
• CFD069 Connector zone -- 11 m at 5.5 g/t Au.
• Recent exploration work by Rockhaven Resources Ltd., gives evidence that multiple
camps are unfolding at the same time in different regions of the Yukon. Highlights
include:
• Intersected 7.20 g/t gold and 260 g/t silver over 15.30m and 32.52 g/t Gold over 3.36m in
two separate zones at Klaza, Yukon.
• KL-10-10 is the third drill hole that tested the full width of the Klaza zone. It intersected
1.04 grams per tonne Gold and 14.7 g/t silver over 33.3 m and 1.51 g/t Gold and 7.4 g/t
silver over 9.3 m.
• These zones are hosted within a broader interval which averaged 0.70 g/t Gold and 8.3
g/t silver over 74.30 m. This hole was collared 125 m east of the previously announced
KL-10-03 (see news release in Stockwatch dated Nov. 1, 2010), which returned 2.29 g/t
Gold and 36.1 g/t silver over 19.75 m.
• 225 m east of the previously announced KL-10-07 which returned 7.20 g/t Gold and
260.0 g/t silver over 15.30 m. The Klaza zone remains open to extension downdip and
along strike in both directions.
• First hole collared 60m apart intersected 4.3 g/t Au over 30.3 m (including
13.5 g/t Au over 8.2 m)
• Second hole collared 14.8 g/t Au over 10.9 m (including 145.2 g/t Au over
1.05 m).
• Northern Tiger reports that grab samples from its main zone have assayed
up to 4,800 g/t (140 opt) Au, and chip samples have assayed up to 1,013
g/t (29.56 opt) Au over 1.1 m.
• The Lucky Strike property comprised of the Lucky, Strike, and Au claims
is bordered by claims owned by Kinross to the southwest, Golden
Predator to the North and West, and by Shawn Ryan’s Brew claims to
South.
• In contrast to the rest of Canada, the Lucky Strike property is in the part of Yukon
that was not glaciated during the last ice age. Therefore, Gold soil anomalies and
placer deposits are likely located close to their sources, as proven by Kaminak
and Kinross / Underworld discoveries.
• Lucky Strike properties are located fifteen kilometers east of the Kinross Golden
Saddle deposit. The survey revealed patterns of structures and anomalous
potassium that coincide with extensive Gold trends discovered as a result of
reconnaissance soil geochemical surveys reported on Feb. 25, 2010.
• The Lucky Strike property contains multiple, extensive Gold in soil anomalies as
good as those first pass soils seen originally over the Underworld Golden Saddle
Deposit.
• The structural patterns closely resemble those associated with the Gold discoveries
reported by Kaminak on its Coffee Creek property, 30 kilometres to the south, and
the adjacent claims encompassing the Underworld / Kinross 1.6-million-ounce
Golden Saddle and Arc discoveries.
• The geophysical surveys show that the Lucky Strike property covers part of a
regional shear zone with a network of northwest structures that enclose a zone of
strongly potassic rocks. Similar structures can be clearly seen on geophysical maps
that cover Kaminak's Coffee Creek property.
• Numerous linear Gold soil anomalies totaling more than 20 km, with one up to 7 km
long, with values up to 75 ppb are concentrated within a potassic zone along well
defined key northeast, north-northeast and north-south trends that are interpreted
as crosscutting extensional structures as seen at Coffee Creek.
• The Lucky claims are less than one km from active placer claims on Brewer Creek,
and the property is bisected by a surveyed placer baseline along Simmons Creek.
