GREAT ATLANTIC BEGINS THE BULK SAMPLE PROGRAM AT ITS 100% OWNED GOLDEN PROMISE PROPERTY, CENTRAL NEWFOUNDLAND

Great Atlantic Resources Corp.'s wholly owned subsidiary, Golden Promise Mines Inc., has begun a bulk sample program at its Golden Promise property, located in central Newfoundland.

"All of the equipment has now been on site for the past few weeks. Operational testing has been carried out -- not directly at the target location, but nearby on the property -- and everything is performing well. The equipment is now being set up at the initial start point, with only fine-tuning and adjustments on the drill head remaining. Drilling will soon commence, marking the start of the bulk sample," states Mr. Anderson, chief executive officer.

Novamera has set up Surgical Mining equipment at the JMZ bulk sample site and is currently conducting control system testing/commissioning. This involves testing sensors, gyro and electronics that steer the course correction device which is Novamera's standard in-field commissioning. The bulk sample will total up to 1,000 cubic metres (approximately 2,700 tonnes).

The bulk sampling work at the JMZ is being financed in part by co-investment from Digital, Canada's global innovation cluster for digital technologies, as part of a larger project that aims to support data-driven and digital solutions within the mining sector.

Great Atlantic reported a National Instrument 43-101-compliant inferred resource estimate during late 2018 for the JMZ of 357,500 tonnes at 10.4 grams per tonne gold (119,900 inferred ounces of gold -- uncapped) (see company news release of Dec. 6, 2018; and SEDAR+-filed National Instrument 43-101 technical report on the Golden Promise property, central Newfoundland (revised), dated Dec. 4, 2018, by Greg Z. Mosher, MSc App, PGeo, and Larry Pilgrim, BSc, PGeo).

David Martin, PGeo, (New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador), a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, and vice-president of exploration for Great Atlantic, approved the technical information contained in this news release.
