Great Atlantic Resources Locates Tungsten Mineraltion In New Target Area And Expands Its 100% Owned South Quarry Tungsten Property, Central. Newfoundland

VANCOUVER, September 23, 2019 - GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV:GR) (the "Company" or "Great Atlantic") is pleased to announce it has recently located tungsten mineralization in a new target area at its 100% owned South Quarry Tungsten Property, located in east-central Newfoundland. The tungsten mineralization occurs in quartz-dominant veins in bedrock at a historic trench / stripped area. This site is within the northern region of the property and northeast of the quarry referred to as the South Quarry. The Company has also expanded the property from 1,350 to 1,925 hectares.

Tungsten bearing pegmatite veins occur in the northern region of the property including the South Quarry and an adjacent smaller quarry. Great Atlantic confirmed high-grade tungsten mineralization (scheelite) in veins in rubble and bedrock at the two quarries during 2015 (News Release of November 19, 2015), including:

Eleven rubble grab samples exceeded 5% WO3 (W% x 1.26 equals WO3%).

A 20-centimeter long channel sample along a 15-centimeter wide vein 2.96% WO3.

A grab sample from a 25-centimeter wide vein in the South Quarry returned 11.94% WO3.

The 2019 program focused on the central - northern regions of the South Quarry Property, exploring for new zones of tungsten mineralization. The program consists of focused prospecting and rock geochemical sampling and ground magnetic and electromagnetic geophysical surveys. Tungsten mineralization (scheelite) was located during the program within a new target area in the northern region of the property. Scheelite-bearing quartz-dominant veins were located within bedrock at a historic trench / stripped area in this new target area. Bedrock grab samples were collected from this site which will be submitted to a certified laboratory for tungsten analysis. The program was supervised by a Qualified Person.

A qualified person verified the 2015 sample data. The qualified person supervised the 2015 sampling. The 2015 samples (and lab-inserted blank, duplicate and standard samples) were analyzed at ALS Canada Ltd. (ALS Canada Ltd. is independent of Great Atlantic Resources). Tungsten analysis was by lithium borate fusion followed by ICP-MS analysis with some samples re-analyzed by XRF.
