CEO CORNER - April 26, 2024

I am excited to report that our exploration work in Ontario's Timmins/Kirkland Lake gold producing area is moving forward exceptionally well. 

Our mag and IP results for Tannahill South are in; and being processed as we speak. When talking with our exploration expert John Grant, I anticipate having the written report in approximately 1O days. The results are looking super strong, and the report will be very interesting. 

Weather conditions delayed progress to some degree but the crews did an awesome job of accomplishing their tasks. 

Drilling objectives have exceeded expectations. Over 2000 samples have been collected and are scheduled to be assayed at a lab that assays for gold only, and has a 3 day window per sample. 300 plus samples will be sent to a separate lab for assaying and quality assurance. 

Other labs have a history of taking 3 plus weeks to get results hence the rational of using the 3-day lab on the 2000 samples. 

We are currently experiencing spring thaw. So, the drilling has been suspended until the ground conditions dry up allowing heavy equipment support.

Assay reports will be issued when the assays have been completed. The report will designate where to concentrate all the infield drilling that will substantiate ore quantities of the claims. 

We are on target with our 2024 construction schedule and look forward to even more exciting developments. 

Atacama management looks forward to your moral and funding support.
