20.02.2018  |  FSCwire

Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Great Atlantic Resources Corp. (TSXV.GR) (the “Company” or “Great Atlantic”) is pleased to announce it has made the final option payment for its South Quarry Tungsten Property, located in east-central Newfoundland. The property hosts tungsten mineralization in multiple areas, including high grade veins. Multiple grab samples collected by Great Atlantic in 2015 exceeded 5% WO3 (W% x 1.26 = WO3%) (News Release of November 19, 2015).

Tungsten bearing pegmatite veins occur in the northern region of the property including at a quarry referred to as the South Quarry and an adjacent smaller quarry. Great Atlantic confirmed high grade tungsten mineralization (scheelite) in veins in rubble and bedrock at these quarries during 2015 (News Release of November 19, 2015). Eleven rubble grab samples exceeded 5% WO3 (W % x 1.26 equals WO3%). A 20 cm long channel sample along a 15cm wide vein in the small quarry returned 2.96% WO3 while a grab sample from a 0.25 meter wide vein in the South Quarry returned 11.94% WO3. A qualified person verified this sample data. The qualified person supervised the 2015 sampling and verified the sample data. The samples (and lab-inserted blank, duplicate and standard samples) were analyzed at ALS Minerals in Sudbury, Ontario (ALS Minerals is independent of Great Atlantic Resources). Tungsten analysis was by lithium metaborate fusion followed by acid dissolution and ICP-MS analysis with some samples re-analyzed by XRF.

Tungsten mineralization is reported in the southern region of the property, reported in narrow (<1m) calc-silicate horizons (source: Newfoundland and Labrador Dept. of Natural Resources Mineral Assessment Reports). A qualified person has not verified this mineralization.

Great Atlantic is planning work in 2018, to be focused in the area of the South Quarry and adjacent small quarry. Additional sampling of veins is planned to provide data on tungsten grade and distribution of tungsten bearing veins. The company will apply for diamond drilling and stripping permits for this area. Pending results of this work, the company is considering metallurgical studies including ore sorting technologies. The company is also planning diamond drilling further north of these quarries where 2016 trenching exposed tungsten bearing veins. The Company has received a permit to drill five holes in this area.

The South Quarry Property covers an area of 3,600 hectares. Access to the property is excellent with a paved road transecting the property.

Christopher R. Anderson, President, stated “Mr. Martin and Myself were an integral part of the initial Management team that advanced the Sisson Tungsten-Molybdenum Project in New Brunswick, an advanced stage project currently operated by Northcliff Resources Ltd.   We understand the tungsten market and feel that the South Quarry Tungsten Property, although early stage, has the ear marks of being a significant asset for the company.  Currently Great Atlantic has two Joint Venture partners and we would be happy to welcome a third to assist in advancing the South Quarry Tungsten Project.”
