ATAC Resources Ltd. ("ATAC") (TSX VENTURE:ATC) is pleased to announce the
commencement of the Phase I drilling and exploration program at its 100% owned
Rackla Gold Project, Yukon. Phase I work will focus on recent Carlin-type gold
discoveries at the Osiris and Anubis areas within the Nadaleen Trend.


"Year over year we continue to make new gold discoveries and expand high-grade
gold zones at the Rackla Gold Project. The 2014 Phase I exploration program is
specifically designed to continue our excellent discovery rate and support our
confidence in the global resource potential of the project," stated Graham
Downs, ATAC's CEO. "Phase I results from trenching at seventeen Anubis area
surface discoveries and anomalies combined with step-out drilling at the
high-grade Sunrise and Anubis Zones will provide steady news flow and be used to
guide the fully-funded Phase II program."


Osiris Area

Sunrise Zone step-out diamond drilling is underway directly west of two of the
final 2013 holes that returned 19.81 m of 5.54 g/t gold (OS-13-214) and 16.76 m
of 6.76 g/t gold (OS-13-217). The mineralization at the Sunrise Zone is open to
depth and along strike to the west toward the higher grade core of the Osiris
Zone. 


Anubis Area

Drill pad construction at the Anubis Zone is underway in preparation for diamond
drilling. To date, only three holes have been completed on a single section line
at the Anubis Zone. Step-out drilling here will test the on-strike extension of
hole AN-12-001 which intersected 8.51 m of 19.85 g/t gold and AN-12-003 which
intersected 16.76 m of 9.09 g/t gold (69.19 m to 85.95 m) and bottomed in gold
mineralization which graded 4.54 g/t gold over 1.52 m (153.01 m to 154.53 m).


Excavator trenching and pitting within the Anubis area is set to begin upon
completion of the Anubis drill pad construction. Excavator work will be
conducted on nine surface showings and eight untested geochemical anomalies.
Priority trenching will be conducted at the Dorado target, which returned
multi-gram gold grab samples from hand pits excavated in 2013. 


Detailed descriptions of the proposed Phase I work are set out in the Company's
April 15, 2014 news release and drill plan maps for the Sunrise Zone and Anubis
area targets are available on ATAC's website. True widths for all highlighted
drill holes within the Osiris and Anubis areas are estimated to be 60 - 100% of
intersected widths. Grab samples taken from the Anubis area trenches and pits
range from below detection to 139 g/t gold.

Carne, M.Sc., P.Geo., the President and a Director of ATAC Resources Ltd., and a
