VANCOUVER, April 18, 2023 - Great Atlantic Resources Corp. (TSXV.GR) (the "Company" or "Great Atlantic") is pleased to announce it has received analytical results for soil samples collected during 2022 at it's East Golden Promise Gold Property, located in central Newfoundland and immediately east of the Company's flagship Golden Promise Gold Property.
Ten of 15 soil samples from a 300 meters long sample line through a newly identified target area returned anomalous gold values of 10 parts per billion (ppb) and higher including four samples returning 39, 41, 71 and 137 ppb gold.
The 2022 exploration program was focused within the east region of the East Golden Promise Property. Fifteen soil samples were collected along an east-west traverse approximately 300 meters long crossing an area with quartz vein glacial float boulders. The soil samples were analyzed by Eastern Analytical Ltd. (independent of Great Atlantic) for gold by fire assay - AA.
Ten soil samples (2/3 of samples) returned anomalous gold values of 10 ppb and higher, including five samples returning 20 ppb gold and higher (20, 39, 41, 71 and 137 ppb Au).
Rock samples collected in this area during 2020 returned anomalous gold values up to 0.084 parts per million gold (84 ppb Au) from loose rock near bedrock (see Company news release of December 7, 2022).
The area of the 2022 rock and soil samples represents a new target area at the East Golden Property for Great Atlantic with anomalous gold in soil and rock samples now confirmed. No diamond drill holes are reported in this target area.
Great Atlantic is planning additional work at the East Golden Promise Property during 2023, being focused within the east region of the property in the area of the anomalous rock and soil samples. Additional soil and rock geochemical sampling are planned. Pending results of this work, trenching is planned.
The East Golden Promise Property is located immediately east of the Company's Golden Promise Property, which host gold bearing quartz veins and quartz vein systems. The East Golden Promise Property is located within the Exploits Subzone of the Dunnage Zone. Recent significant gold discoveries within the Exploits Subzone include those of Marathon Gold Corp. (TSX.MOZ) at the Valentine Gold Project, Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV.SIC) at the Moosehead Gold Project and New Found Gold Corp. (TSXV.NFG) at the Queensway Project. Readers are warned that mineralization at the Valentine Gold Project, Moosehead Gold Project, Queensway Project and the Golden Promise Property is not necessarily indicative of mineralization at the East Golden Promise Property.
Access to the East Golden Promise Property is excellent with a gravel road transecting the eastern-most region of the property. The property covers an area of approximately 1,125 hectares and is 100% owned by the Great Atlantic.
