Golden Promise Project, Central Newfoundland
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 16, 2019 / GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV.GR) (the “Company” or “Great Atlantic”)
is pleased to announce it has received a diamond drilling permit for
the Company’s Golden Promise Gold Property, located in the central
Newfoundland gold belt. The Company has also begun its 2019 exploration
program on the Golden Promise Property, currently conducting focussed
prospecting and geochemical sampling at high priority targets within the
property. The drilling permit allows for up to 24 drill holes in the
northern half of the property at the gold-bearing Jaclyn Zone,
specifically at the Jaclyn Main Zone (JMZ) and Jaclyn North Zone (JNZ).
Planned drilling will consist of the following:
In-fill drilling in the west half of JMZ within conceptual pit-constrained area.
Shallow and deeper in-fill drilling in central-east region of JMZ.
Drilling
along projected strike east of JNZ in an area of high-grade quartz
boulders (boulder samples of 163, 208 and 332 g/t gold – News Release of
August 31, 2017).
The
Company reported a National Instrument 43-101mineral resource estimate
for the JMZ in late 2018 (News Release of December 6, 2018; and
Sedar-filed National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on the Golden
Promise Property, Central Newfoundland (revised), dated December 4, 2018
by Mr. Greg Z. Mosher, M.Sc. App., P.Geo., and Mr. Larry Pilgrim,

Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the Mineral Resources estimated will be converted into Mineral Reserves. Mineral
resource tonnage and contained metal have been rounded to reflect the
accuracy of the estimate, and numbers may not add due to rounding. Mineral resource tonnage and grades are reported as undiluted. Contained Au ounces are in-situ and do not include recovery losses
The
majority of planned diamond drill holes at the Golden Promise Property
will be in-fill drill holes at the JMZ to provide data for an up-dated
JMZ mineral resource estimate, engineering studies and studies of
mineralizing controls. Drilling is also planned testing continuation of
the JNZ east along projected strike. The Company conducted trenching
during 2017 along the projected east strike of the JNZ. The trenching
generally failed to reach bedrock due to thick glacial till. However
gold bearing quartz vein boulders were excavated from multiple trenches,
with some boulder samples returning high grade gold (including 163.99,
208.51 and 332.67 g/t gold: News Release of August 31, 2017). A
qualified person managed the 2017 trenching program and sampling and
verified the analytical data.
Great Atlantic has begun it’s 2019
exploration program on the Golden Promise Property. Prospecting and
geochemical sampling is being conducted at high priority targets in
multiple regions within the property. During the 2017 and 2018 programs,
the Company identified / confirmed areas with gold bearing quartz vein
float or bedrock; and gold soil anomalies. The objective of the current
program is to further define trenching and drilling targets within these
target areas.
The Golden Promise Property hosts multiple gold
bearing quartz veins and is located within a region of recent
significant gold discoveries. The property is located within the
Exploits Subzone of the Newfoundland Dunnage Zone. Within the Exploits
Subzone, the property lies along the north-northwestern fringe of the
Victoria Lake Supergroup (VLSG), a volcano-sedimentary terrane. The
northwestern margin of the Golden Promise Property occurs proximal to,
and, in part, contiguous with a major (Appalachian-scale) collisional
boundary, and suture zone, known as the Red Indian Line (RIL). The RIL
forms the western boundary of the Exploits Subzone. Recent significant
gold discoveries in this region of the Exploits Subzone include those of
Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV.SIC) at the Moosehead Gold Project and Marathon Gold Corp. (TSXV.MOZ) at the Valentine Lake Gold Camp.
During 2018 Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV.SIC) announced
a high-grade gold discovery on its Moosehead Property, located
approximately 40 kilometers east-northeast of the Golden Promise
Property. The discovery was made during the 2018 diamond drilling
program. A drill intersection of 44.96 g/t gold over 11.90 meters core
length was reported including a 1.35 meters core length quartz vein
intersection of 385.85 g/t gold (Sokoman Iron Corp. News Release of July
24, 2018). The Valentine Lake Gold Camp of Marathon Gold Corp. (TSXV.MOZ) is
located approximately 55 kilometers southwest of the Golden Promise
Property. As reported on Marathon’s website, the Valentine Lake Gold
Camp currently hosts four near-surface, mainly pit-shell constrained,
deposits with measured and indicated resources totaling 2,691,400 oz. of
gold at 1.85 g/t gold and inferred resources totalling 1,531,600 oz. of
gold at 1.77 g/t. Readers are warned that mineralization at the
Moosehead Property and Valentine Lake Gold Camp is not necessarily
indicative of mineralization on the Golden Promise Property.
High-grade
gold is reported in quartz veins and quartz vein boulders within the
Golden Promise Property. Gold bearing quartz veins are reported in
multiple areas of the property, including at least 5 gold bearing quartz
vein systems reported in the Jaclyn Zone. Much of the reported
historical exploration within the property has been focused on the
Jaclyn Zone with gold bearing vein systems reported at the JMZ, JNZ,
Jaclyn South Zone, Jaclyn East Zone and Jaclyn West Zone. The majority
of historic drilling (2002-2010) was conducted at the JMZ. Gold bearing
veins and gold bearing float are reported in other regions of the
property. These include the Linda/Snow White vein in the southern
region, Shawn’s Shot vein in the central region and Branden boulder
occurrence in the northern region of the property.
As reported in
the National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on the Golden Promise
Property, Central Newfoundland (revised), dated December 4, 2018 by Mr.
Greg Z. Mosher, M.Sc. App., P.Geo., and Mr. Larry Pilgrim, B.Sc.,
P.Geo., the JMZ was modelled as a single quartz vein that strikes
east-west and dips steeply to the south. Modelled vein thickness was
based on true thickness derived from quartz vein intercepts. The
estimate is based on 220 assays that were composited to 135 one-meter
long composites. A bulk density of 2.7 g/cm3 was used. Blocks in the
model measured 15 meters east-west, 1-meter north-south and 10 meters
vertically. The block model was not rotated. Grades were interpolated
using inverse-distance squared (ID2) weighting and a search ellipse that
measured 100 meters along strike, two meters across strike and 50
meters vertically. Grades were interpolated based on a minimum of two
and a maximum of 10 composites with a maximum of one composite per hole
so the grade of each block is based on at least two drillholes thereby
demonstrating continuity of mineralization. For the capped mineral
resource estimate, all assays that exceed 65 g/t gold were capped at 65
g/t gold. All resources were classified as Inferred because of the
relatively wide spacing of drill holes through most of the zone.
Because
part of the vein is near surface the resource estimate was constrained
by a conceptual open pit to demonstrate reasonable prospects of eventual
economic extraction. Generic mining costs of US$2.50/tonne and
processing costs of US$25.00/tonne were used together with a gold price
of US$1,300/ounce. A conceptual pit slope of 45° was assumed with no
allowance for mining loss or dilution. Based on the combined
hypothetical mining and processing costs and the assumed price of gold, a
pit-constrained cutoff grade of 0.6 g/t was adopted. For the
underground portion of the resource a cutoff of 1.5 g/t was assumed. The
cutoff grade for the total resource is the weighted average of the
pit-constrained and underground cutoff grades.

Received all analytical results from the 2018 exploration program at its Golden Promise Property, located in the central Newfoundland gold belt
The results identified additional exploration targets where no prior drilling has taken place
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 27, 2019 / GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV.GR) (the “Company” or “Great Atlantic”) is pleased to announce it has received all analytical results from the 2018 exploration program at its Golden Promise Property, located in the central Newfoundland gold belt, the results identifying additional exploration targets. The 2018 soil and rock analytical results confirm gold soil anomalies +/- rock samples anomalous in gold in at least three additional target areas in under-explored regions of the property. The Company’s main focus on the property remains the Jaclyn Zone where multiple gold bearing quartz vein systems occur. Gold bearing veins and gold bearing quartz vein boulders occur in other regions of the property.
Anomalous 2018 rock and soil samples were concentrated in three new targets areas:
Southwest
region: Anomalous soil samples along two reconnaissance soil lines, up
to 77 ppb gold (News Release of September 27, 2018). All 11 samples
along one 570- meter long line returned anomalous gold values. Rock
samples within the soil anomaly retuned anomalous gold values including
1.04 g/t gold.
East-Central region:
Anomalous soil samples (up to 39 ppb gold) & rock float samples (up
to 136 ppb gold) along a reconnaissance traverse.
West-Central
region: Anomalous soil samples (up to 41 ppb) following up in an area
of 2017 soil anomalies (212 and 236 ppb gold).
No previous drilling in the new target areas.
The
2018 program was reconnaissance in nature consisting of prospecting and
soil / rock geochemical sampling in multiple under-explored regions of
the Golden Promise Property. Multiple gold soil anomalies were
identified in the southwest, west-central and east-central regions of
the property, thereby adding to the number of gold targets within the
property. Rock grab samples from float in the east-central and southwest
regions of the property returned anomalous values for gold, the high
value being 1.04 g/t gold.
Soil sample analytical results from the
southwest region of the Golden Promise Property were reported in the
Company’s News Release of September 27, 2018. The
results include anomalous gold in soil samples from a new target area in
this southwest region. The majority of soil samples from two
reconnaissance lines in this target area returned anomalous values for
gold (up to 77 parts per billion (ppb) gold) including all 11 samples
from one approximately 570-meter long line. Nine of the 2018 rock grab
samples (float and outcrop) from this anomalous zone returned anomalous
gold values, the high value being a boulder sample with quartz veins
returning 1.04 g/t gold.This anomalous zone is
approximately 4 kilometers northeast of the Linda / Snow White gold
bearing vein which is located within the southwest region of the
property. Reported historic highlights for the Linda / Snow White vein
include a 232 g/t gold grab sample, 29.7 g/t gold over 0.5 meters in a
channel sample and 19.5 g/t gold over 1.15 meters during diamond
drilling (core length).
Quartz boulder in new southwest target area
The
2018 program confirmed an area of gold soil anomalies in the
west-central region of the property. Initial reconnaissance soil
sampling by the Company in this region during 2017 identified gold
anomalies (including samples returning 212 and 236 ppb gold). Soil
sampling in this area was continued during 2018 along 2 north-south
lines. Six of seven soil samples from an approximately 300-meter long
section of one line returned anomalous values for gold in the 8-41 ppb
gold range, confirming this new target area. This zone of gold soil
anomalies is located approximately 1 kilometer northwest of the gold
bearing Shawn’s Shot quartz vein. A 0.32-meter long chip sample
collected by the Company across the Shawn’s Shot vein in 2017 returned
48.2 g/t gold (News Release of August 28, 2017).
The 2018 program
established a new gold target area in the east-central region of the
property. Prospecting and soil sampling were conducted along one
east-west reconnaissance line in this region. Approximately 25% of the
soil samples along an approximately 2-kilometer section of this line
returned anomalous values for gold (6-39 ppb gold). Rock samples from
quartz boulders in this region returned anomalous values for gold (up to
136 ppb gold). The target area is approximately 2.2 kilometers
south-southwest of the gold bearing Jaclyn Main Zone. The Jaclyn Main
Zone has been the primary focus of historic gold exploration on the
property.
The Company recently reported a National Instrument
43-101mineral resource estimate for the Jaclyn Main Zone, located in the
northern region of the property (News Release of December 6, 2018; and
Sedar-filed National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on the Golden

Jaclyn Main Zone is part of the Jaclyn Zone. At least 5 gold bearing
quartz vein systems are reported at the Jaclyn Zone, including the
Jaclyn Main Zone, Jaclyn North Zone, Jaclyn South Zone, Jaclyn East Zone
and Jaclyn West Zone. Much of the reported historical exploration
within the property has been focused on the Jaclyn Zone with the
majority of historic drill holes (2002-2010) at the Jaclyn Main Zone.
Other gold bearing veins within the property include Shawn’s Shot, Linda
/ Snow White and at the Gabbro Occurrence. High grade quartz boulders
are reported within the property including at the Jaclyn Zone and
Branden and Justin’s Hope boulder occurrences.
The property is
located within the Exploits Subzone of the Newfoundland Dunnage Zone.
Within the Exploits Subzone, the property lies along the
north-northwestern fringe of the Victoria Lake Supergroup (VLSG), a
volcano-sedimentary terrane. The northwestern margin of the Golden
Promise Property occurs proximal to, and, in part, contiguous with a
major (Appalachian-scale) collisional boundary, and suture zone, known
as the Red Indian Line (RIL). The RIL forms the western boundary of the
Exploits Subzone. Recent significant gold discoveries in this region of
the Exploits Subzone include those of Sokoman Iron Corp. (TSXV.SIC) at the Moosehead Project and Marathon Gold Corp. (TSXV.MOZ) at the Valentine Lake Gold Camp.
Sokoman Iron Corp. (TSXV.SIC) recently
announced a high-grade gold discovery on its Moosehead Property,
located approximately 40 kilometers east-northeast of the Golden Promise

composited to 135 one-meter long composites. A bulk density of 2.7 g/cm3
was used. Blocks in the model measured 15 meters east-west, 1-meter
north-south and 10 meters vertically. The block model was not rotated.
Grades were interpolated using inverse-distance squared (ID2) weighting
and a search ellipse that measured 100 meters along strike, two meters
across strike and 50 meters vertically. Grades were interpolated based
on a minimum of two and a maximum of 10 composites with a maximum of one
composite per hole so the grade of each block is based on at least two
drillholes thereby demonstrating continuity of mineralization. For the
capped mineral resource estimate, all assays that exceed 65 g/t gold
were capped at 65 g/t gold. All resources were classified as Inferred
because of the relatively wide spacing of drill holes through most of
the zone.
Because part of the vein is near surface the resource
estimate was constrained by a conceptual open pit to demonstrate
reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction. Generic mining
costs of US$2.50/tonne and processing costs of US$25.00/tonne were used
together with a gold price of US$1,300/ounce. A conceptual pit slope of
45° was assumed with no allowance for mining loss or dilution. Based on
the combined hypothetical mining and processing costs and the assumed
price of gold, a pit-constrained cutoff grade of 0.6 g/t was adopted.
For the underground portion of the resource a cutoff of 1.5 g/t was
assumed. The cutoff grade for the total resource is the weighted average
of the pit-constrained and underground cutoff grades.
The
2018 rock and soil samples were analyzed by Eastern Analytical Ltd. in
Springdale, NL for gold by Fire Assay and for 34 elements by ICP. A
qualified person managed and conducted the 2018 exploration program.
