GREAT ATLANTIC'S 2024 TRENCH ROCK SAMPLES RETURN HIGHLY ANOMALOUS GOLD AND COPPER VALUES AT ITS 100 per cent OWNED GOLDEN PROMISE GOLD PROPERTY - CENTRAL NEWFOUNDLAND

Great Atlantic Resources Corp.'s wholly owned subsidiary, Golden Promise Mines Inc., has received analytical results for 2024 rock samples collected in the southwest region of the Golden Promise property at and near two 2024 excavated trenches.

Eleven of 13 rock samples collected at two trench sites returned anomalous gold values exceeding 0.10 gram per tonne (g/t) gold including a sample from glacial float boulder returning 0.964 g/t gold; an outcrop grab sample returning 0.481 g/t gold and greater than 10,000 ppm (parts per million) copper (greater than 1 per cent Cu (copper)); and a sample from float returning 5,370 ppm copper (0.537 per cent Cu).

A sample collected from glacial float near the trenches returned 0.526 g/t gold. Another float sample in this region returned 6,748 ppm copper (0.674 per cent Cu).

The trenching, prospecting and rock geochemical sampling were conducted during 2024 within the southwest region (mineral licence 036105M) of the Golden Promise property in an area of gold soil anomalies and rock samples containing anomalous levels of gold as identified by Great Atlantic during previous years. Two northwest-southeast-trending trenches (trench No. 1 and No. 2) were excavated during June in this region, being approximately 80 metres and 95 metres long and approximately 150 metres apart. A third small trench (trench No. 3) was hand trenched exposing bedrock (this trench could not be accessed by the excavator).

Bedrock in both Trench 1 and Trench 2 has been geologically mapped and 13 rock samples have been collected from float boulders in the glacial till and from subcrop and bedrock in both trenches. Sulfide mineralization was noted in all samples collected from the two trenches consisting mainly of pyrite. Copper mineralization in the form of chalcopyrite plus/minus malachite is present in some samples. The host rock is most commonly shale with plus/minus quartz veining with some samples silicified and some sheared. The rock samples were submitted to Eastern Analytical Ltd. for gold and multielement analysis. Highlights for these samples include:

Trench No. 1:

• 309464 (float): 0.964 g/t gold;
• 309466 (subcrop): 0.463 g/t gold and 4,287 ppm copper (0.428 per cent Cu);
• 309469 (outcrop): 0.481 g/t gold, greater than 6.0 g/t silver and greater than 10,000 ppm copper (greater than 1 per cent Cu).

Trench No. 2:

• 309472 (float): 0.420 g/t gold;
• 309473 (outcrop): 0.323 g/t gold;
• 309474 (float): 0.196 g/t gold and 5,370 ppm copper (0.537 per cent Cu).

Golden Promise Mines is planning additional rock sampling during 2025 at trenches 1 and 2.

Prospecting and rock geochemical sampling were conducted during 2024 in the general area of trenches 1 and 2. Rock samples were collected mainly from glacial float. Two samples (J012383 and J012384) collected from float at one location approximately 25 metres north of the north end of Trench 2 returned 0.526 g/t and 0.462 g/t gold. These samples are oxidized and siliceous probable metasedimentary rocks with pyrite and quartz veins. Another float sample (309476) collected approximately 900 metres northeast of Trench 1 returned 6,748 ppm copper (0.674 per cent Cu). This sample consists of quartz vein/vein breccia with pyrite, chalcopyrite and malachite.

The Golden Promise property is the largest and most advanced of seven central Newfoundland gold properties owned by Golden Promise Mines and located within the Exploits subzone of the Newfoundland Dunnage zone. One of these properties (Golden Trust) is located within one kilometre of the Valentine gold mine of Calibre Mining Corp. (TSX: CXB) (OTCQX: CXBMF) which is also located within the Exploits subzone. Readers are warned that mineralization at the Valentine gold mine is not necessarily indicative of mineralization at the Golden Promise property or any of the other central Newfoundland gold properties of Golden Promise Mines.

The 2024 rock samples discussed in this news release were analyzed by Eastern Analytical Ltd. Some samples stated in this news release were analyzed for gold by the total pulp metallics method. This involves crushing the entire sample to negative 10 mesh and pulverizing to 95 per cent negative 150 mesh. The total sample is then weighed and screened 150 mesh. The plus-150-mesh fraction is fire assayed for gold and a 30-gram subsample of the negative-150-mesh fraction is fire assayed for gold. A calculated weighted average of total gold in the sample is reported as well (the gold values reported in this news release for samples J012384, 309464, 309469, 309473 and 309474 are calculated weighted average). Other rock samples stated in this news release were crushed to 80 per cent negative 10 mesh, followed by creation of 250-gram split samples for each which were subsequently pulverized to 95 per cent negative 150 mesh. Subsamples (30 grams) from the pulverized portions were assayed for gold by fire assay-AA. The samples were also analyzed for 34 elements (including copper) during which 200-milligram subsamples were totally dissolved in four acids and analyzed by ICP-OES. Eastern Analytical, a certified laboratory, is independent of Golden Promise Mines and Great Atlantic.
