GREAT ATLANTIC APPLIES FOR DIAMOND DRILLING AND TRENCHING PERMITS FOR ITS 100% OWNED GOLDEN PROMISE GOLD PROPERTY

Great Atlantic Resources Corp. has applied for diamond drilling and trenching permits for its flagship Golden Promise gold property located in the central Newfoundland gold belt. The drilling and trenching applications are for the southern region of the property in areas of gold soil anomalies and/or reported geophysics anomalies. Great Atlantic has an existing diamond drilling permit for the northern region of the property at the Jaclyn zone, which is host to multiple gold-bearing quartz veins.

Great Atlantic has applied for up to five drill holes and three trenches within the southwest region of the Golden Promise property (within mineral licence 025161M) and northwest of the Linda/Snow White gold-bearing quartz vein systems. This is an area of gold soil geochemical anomalies identified by the company during the 2018 and 2020 exploration programs (see company news releases of Sept. 27, 2018, and Nov. 20, 2022). This zone of gold soil anomalies is at least 500 metres long with an apparent width of approximately 90 to 200 metres (defined by four soil sample lines) with 22 of 28 samples within the zone returning anomalous gold values of five parts per billion (ppb) and higher (up to 77 ppb Au).

Great Atlantic has also applied for five trenches in the southern region of the property (within mineral licence 025156M) to test an area of reported magnetic and electromagnetic geophysical anomalies east-northeast of the Gabbro zone gold occurrence. This is based on a 2003 airborne geophysical survey by Rubicon Mineral Corp. Great Atlantic confirmed gold mineralization at the Gabbro zone gold occurrence during 2019 (see company news release of Jan. 20, 2020), including grab samples of quartz veins cutting gabbro returning 0.80 gram and 1.11 grams per tonne gold. The five trenches applied for are also near the reported contact of the Stanley Watters formation and the Lawrence Harbour formation. Some gold-bearing quartz veins within the Golden Promise property are located near the reported contact of these two formations, including the Jaclyn zone and the Linda/Snow White gold-bearing quartz vein systems.

The Golden Promise property is located within the Exploits subzone of the Newfoundland Dunnage zone. Recent significant gold discoveries within the Exploits subzone include those of Marathon Gold Corp. at the Valentine gold project, Sokoman Minerals Corp. at the Moosehead gold project and New Found Gold Corp. at the Queensway project. Readers are warned that mineralization at the Valentine gold project, Moosehead gold project and Queensway project is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on Great Atlantic's gold properties in this region.
