GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES CORP. FILES 43-101 REPORT ON
GOLDEN PROMISE PROJECT, NEWFOUNDLAND
VANCOUVER, British Columbia – December 6, 2018 - GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES
CORP. (TSXV.GR) (the “Company” or “Great Atlantic”) announces that it has received and
filed on SEDAR a National Instrument 43 -101 Technical Report , dated December 4, 2018
(revising a previous filed version dated November 28, 2018) (the “Report”) on the Company’s
Golden Promise Gold Property, located in the central Newfoundland gold belt. The report was
completed by Mr. Greg Z. Mosher, M.Sc. App., P.Geo., and Mr. Larry Pilgrim, B.Sc., P.Geo. The
amendments in the December 4 version of the technical report principally relate to disclosure of
QA/QC programs in Part 11 and data verification in Part 12. The material conclusions of both
versions of the Report are the same.
The Report includes the following mineral resource estimate (Inferred resources) for the Jaclyn
Main Zone, the maiden resource estimate for the Company on the property:

The Golden Promise Property hosts multiple gold bearing quartz veins and is located in 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 p roperty 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 Sok oman Iron Corp.
(TSXV.SIC) at the Moosehead Project and Marathon Gold Corp. (TSXV.MOZ) at the Valentine
Lake Gold Camp.

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 one zone referred to as the Jaclyn Zone, located
in the northern half of the property. Much of the reported historical exploration within the property
has been focused on the Jaclyn Zone with gold bearing vein systems reported at the Jaclyn Main,
Jaclyn East, Jaclyn West, Jaclyn North and Jaclyn South Sub -zones. The majority of historic
drilling (2002-2010) was conducted at the Jaclyn Main Zone. Significant historical work is also
reported in the southwest region of the property at the Linda / Snow White vein, including grab
sample reported to return 105 and 232 g/t gold, a reported channel sample returning 29.7 g/t gold
/ 0.5 meters, and a diamond drillhole intersection of 19.5 g/t gold / 1.15 meter core length. Gold
bearing veins and gold bearing float are reported in other regions of the property.
The Report includes a mineral resource estimate for the Jaclyn Main Zon e, the only area within
the Property for which sufficient data exists to support a mineral resource estimate . The resource
estimate was completed by Mr. Greg Z. Mosher, M.Sc. App., P.Geo.

The current mineral resource estimate for the Jaclyn Main Zone is based on assays from 107
drillholes (2002 – 2010). The drill core from most of these holes has been preserved at a Provincial
Government storage facility in Buchans, NL. As part of the data verification process prior to the
resource estimate, core from five (5) holes, representing a range of contained gold grades and
locations within the zone, were examined an d six (6) quarter -core samples were collected from
three of these holes for verification of the original assay values. The six check samples were
assayed for gold in 2018 at ALS Canada in North Vancouver. The following table shows the
comparison of original and check assay values.
Drill Hole From (m) To (m) Length (m) Original Au g/t Check Au g/t Sample #
GP02-09 47.6 48.3 0.7 1.4 1.455 CNF10434
GP02-09 48.3 48.7 0.4 1.0 0.005 CNF10435
GP06-51 153.5 153.8 0.3 14.1 25.1 CNF13676
GP06-51 153.8 154.2 0.4 9.4 4.27 CNF13677
GP07-74 181.0 181.5 0.5 5.2 1.79 CNF19937
GP07-74 181.5 182.0 0.5 2.4 0.083 CNF19938
Discrepancies between the original and check assays are attributable to the fact that 1) original and
check samples were collected from different portions of the core; 2) the gold is particulate in nature
and therefore a high degree of variability exists b etween the half-core and quarter-core samples;
and 3) the original samples were assayed using screened metallics to capture any coarse particles
of gold whereas the check samples were of too small a volume to permit the use of screening and
therefore some gold particles may not have been captured by the analytical process.
Original assay certificates for approximately 60% of the Jaclyn Main Zone assays were checked
against assay values in the dataset used for the mineral resource estimate and no discrepancies
were found. The results of QA/QC monitoring of drill core samples submitted for analysis during
5
the period 2004 – 2008 and 2010 – 2011, were compiled and assessed. These measures include
use of standards, blanks and duplicate samples, although not all measures were employed in all
programs. Regardless, all QA/QC metrics fall within acceptable limits.
The zone 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 (ID 2) 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 u nderground 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 resource estimate for
conceptual pit-constrained and underground at various gold cutoff grades and total resource
estimate are tabulated as follows:

As discussed previously in this News Release, significant recent gold discoveries in the central
Newfoundland gold belt within the Exploits Subzone include that of Sok oman Iron Corp. and
Marathon Gold Corp. Sok oman 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 Property. The discovery was made during the 2018 diamond drilling program. A
drill intersection of 44.96 g/t gold over 11.90 met er core length was reported including a 1.35
meter 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 kilome ters 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.
The Report may be subject to review by the British Columbia Securities Commission.
David Martin, P.Geo., a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43 -101 and VP Exploration for Great
Atlantic, is responsible for the technical information contained in this News Release.
