- ATAC holds a 1% NSR in the Golden Revenue property owned by Northern Freegold Resources Ltd. (See Northern Freegold's website for detailed information)
- Located in the Tintina Gold Belt, premier gold belt in Yukon and Alaska. Deposits include Pogo (5,500,000 oz at 18.9 g/t Au) and Fort Knox (2,372,000 oz at 0.81 g/t Au).
- Golden Revenue is road accessible and permitted for advanced exploration.
- Both high grade vein zones and bulk tonnage targets have been identified within a 4 by 2.5 km area of anomalous gold soil geochemical response.
- 2004 drilling focussed on the Nucleus Zone.
The Nucleus Zone is the best explored bulk tonnage target on the property. It is associated with a swarm of north trending, moderately east dipping feldspar porphyry dykes that were emplaced along a series of pre-existing or coeval faults. Steeply dipping fracture sets within the Yukon - Tanana metasediment wallrock are also important controls on mineralization. Mapping, grid soil geochemistry, IP surveys and excavator trenching collectively define an 1800 by 500 m exploration target. Most drilling has occurred within a 300 by 200 m core area.
- In 2004, an 1832 m (14 hole) diamond drill program was conducted to test the Nucleus Zone. The work confirmed bulk tonnage gold potential and discovered previously unknown, porphyry gold-copper mineralization.
- Highlights of the 2004 drill program include: 1.35 g/t gold over 110.81 m and 1.16 g/t gold over 110 m. The unexposed porphyry style gold-copper mineralization was intersected to the west of previous drilling with the best intersection averaging 0.23% copper and 0.37 g/t gold over 57.83 m.
- Excellent potential exists elsewhere on the property as evidenced by drill results from the Discovery Zone which include: 18.6 g/t gold over 2.2 m and 0.87 g/t gold and 0.32% copper over 79.4 m.
- Many of the soil geochemical anomalies have never been drilled and are prime exploration targets.
