ATC ATAC Resources Ltd

ATAC Resources Ltd. ("ATAC" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ATC) announces that
it has approved the adoption of a new shareholder rights plan (the "new rights
plan"), to be effective upon the termination of the existing shareholder rights
plan at ATAC's 2014 annual general meeting, scheduled to be held on June 24,
2014. The new rights plan has been designed to encourage the fair and equal
treatment of shareholders in connection with any takeover bid for ATAC's
outstanding securities, and will provide the board of directors with additional
time to assess the advantages and disadvantages of any particular offer, and to
seek out alternative proposals in the best interests of all shareholders. The
new rights plan will essentially be a continuation of the shareholder rights
plan adopted by ATAC on April 23, 2010, as ratified by its shareholders at the
annual general and special meeting held on June 10, 2010, and as extended
through to the date of its 2014 annual general meeting at the annual general and
special meeting held on May 22, 2012. 


ATAC will not be adopting the new rights plan in response to any specific
proposal to acquire control of its outstanding securities. The new rights plan
will be similar to plans adopted by other Canadian companies and ratified by
their shareholders. It is not the intention of the new rights plan to entrench
management or prevent a change of control of ATAC to the detriment of
shareholders. The new rights plan will not apply to takeover bids that meet
certain requirements including that the bid be made by way of a takeover bid
circular and be left open for at least 60 days so as to ensure that shareholders
will have an adequate opportunity to assess the merits of any such bid.


The new rights plan will be subject to TSX Venture Exchange acceptance and to
ATAC obtaining ratification thereof at an annual general meeting of shareholders
to be held within six months - in that regard, said shareholder ratification
will be sought at ATAC's 2014 annual general meeting. If ratified, the new
rights plan will have an initial term which will expire at ATAC's annual general
meeting of shareholders to be held in 2017; the new rights plan may also be
reconfirmed and extended at that annual general meeting and at every third
annual general meeting thereafter. If ratified as disclosed above, a copy of the
new rights plan will be available for viewing on SEDAR and may also be obtained
from ATAC subsequent to its 2014 annual general meeting of shareholders.
