GREAT ATLANTIC ACQUIRES EXTENSIVE LAND PACKAGE
SOUTHWEST NEW BRUNSWICK TIN - TUNGSTEN PROJECT
TIN, TUNGSTEN, COPPER, LEAD, ZINC, INDIUM, SILVER AND LITHIUM MINERALIZATION
Great Atlantic Resources Corp. has acquired a 100-per-cent interest in eight mineral claims (through a purchase agreement) in southwestern New Brunswick comprising its new southwestern New Brunswick tin-tungsten project.
The eight mineral claims comprising the company's southwestern New Brunswick tin-tungsten project, from west to east, include Foster Lake (claim No. 4797), Flume Ridge (claim No. 5427), Pleasant Ridge North (claim No. 9034), Pleasant Ridge (claim No. 4697), Kedron (claim No. 7509), Pughole (claim No. 4635), Canal (claim No. 5532) and Yahoo (claim No. 5159). The claims cover a combined area of approximately 4,100 hectares.
The Pughole claim borders the Mount Pleasant mine property of Adex Mining Inc. (site of the past-producing Mount Pleasant tungsten mine) while multiple claims border the Clarence Stream project of Galway Metals Inc. (gold and antimony resources are reported by Galway at the Clarence Stream project).
Great Atlantic's management has compiled historical exploration information for each mineral claim of the southwestern New Brunswick tin-tungsten project from mineral occurrence and report of work files at the New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development. Reported highlights include the following.
Pughole:
-
Hosts the True Hill tin-tungsten-molybdenum-bismuth mineral occurrence and the Pughole Brook West tin-copper mineral occurrence;
-
A 1983 drill hole was reported to intersect 0.45 per cent tin over 3.3-metre core length at True Hill;
-
A 1990 rock sample from float was reported to return 20.3 per cent tin;
-
Numerous drill holes are reported to have been completed during 2006 to 2008, reported to intersect plus or minus tin, indium, copper, lead, zinc and silver mineralization, including (core length):
-
WP-07-04: 9.03 per cent zinc and 225 parts per million indium over 5.6 metres;
-
WP-07-06: 11.9 per cent zinc, 16.9 per cent lead, 0.61 per cent tin and 58 ppm silver over 0.35 metre;

Readers are warned that Great Atlantic has not verified mineralization stated in this news release at the southwestern New Brunswick tin-tungsten project mineral claims. The company is currently planning initial exploration programs for the property for 2025.
Readers are warned that mineralization at the Mount Pleasant mine property of Adex Mining and at the Clarence Stream project of Galway Metals is not necessarily indicative of mineralization at Great Atlantic's southwestern New Brunswick tin-tungsten project.
David Martin, PGeo (New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador), a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and vice-president, exploration, for Great Atlantic, is responsible for the technical information contained in this news release.
