VANCOUVER, British Columbia , November 11th 2020 – GREAT ATLANTIC
RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV.GR) (the “Company” or “Great Atlantic”) is p leased to
announce it has completed the first hole of the Fall 2020 Phase 2 diamond drilling program at its
Golden Promise Gold Property, located within the central Newfoundland gold belt. The first
hole (GP20 -146) was completed at the Jaclyn North Zone, testing the continuation of gold
bearing veins along strike to the east. The drill hole intersected quartz veins and quartz veined
intervals containing sulfide mineralization.
Drill hole GP20-146 tested east of the Jaclyn North Zone (JNZ) along its projected strike. The
JNZ is part of the Jaclyn Zone, being located within the northern region of the Golden Promise
Property. The Jaclyn Zone hosts five gold bearing quartz veins systems, including the JNZ and
Jaclyn Main Zone (JMZ). The JNZ is reported to strike slightly northeast , being located
2
approximately 250 meters north of the JMZ. GP20-146 was collared approximately 50 meters
east of the eastern -most historic JNZ drill hole. GP20 -146 was drilled slightly southeast at a 50-
degree dip to a length of a 140 Meters . The hole intersected quartz veins at various depths
(veins up to approximately 0.9 meters core length) with pyrite, arsenopyrite and / or
chalcopyrite. Drill core from hole GP20 -146 is being geologically logged and sampled. Drill
core samples along with inserted standard and blank samples will be submitted to a certified
Laboratory for gold assays and multi-element analysis.

The drill is being moved ap proximately 50 meters northeast of GP20 -146 to further test the
continuation of quartz veins. Additional planned holes in this area will test for the source (s) of
high- grade boulders discovered by the Company during 2017 trenching east of the JNZ.
Boulder grab sample assays collected during the 2017 program included 163.9, 208.5 and
332.6 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Great Atlantic News Release of August 31, 2017).

In-fill drilling is also planned during the current Phase 2 drilling program at the JMZ in an area
of multiple gold -bearing quartz veins including high grade intersections during the Company’s
2019 Phase 1 drilling program (Company News Releases of February 6, 12 and 19, 2020). Gold
bearing drill intersections (core length) from the Company’s 2019 Phase 1 drilling included:
• GP19-137: 12.37 g /t /t gold over
1.90 meters.
• GP19-138: 113.07 g/t gold over
0.55 meters & 93.96 g/t gold over 0.27
meters.
• GP19-139: 15.70 g/t gold over
2.70 meters.
• GP19-140: 2.30 g/t gold over
25.25 meters.
• GP19-144: 61.35 g/t gold over
2.04 meters.
• GP19-145: 14.49 g/t gold over
1.52 meters.

The drill core samples from the 2019 drilling program were analyzed by Eastern Analytical Ltd.
Samples of main quartz veins and quartz veined zones were analyzed by the Total Pulp Metallics
method. This involves crushing of the entire sample to -10 mesh and pulverizing to 95% -150
mesh. The total sample is then weighed and screened 150 mesh. The +150 mesh fraction is fire
assayed for gold, and a 30 gram sub -sample of the -150 mesh fraction is fire assayed for gold. A
calculated weighted average of total gold in the sample is repo rted as well (gold values reported
by the Company in News Releases are weighted average values). Other samples were assayed
for gold by fire assay – AA (30-gram sub-samples) and analyzed for 34 elements (200 -mg sub-
samples totally dissolved in four acids a nd analyzed by ICP -OES). Blank and standard samples
were included with the drill core sample submissions. Duplicate analysis was conducted for
some samples. All rock samples collected during the 2017 trenching program were also analyzed
by Eastern Analytic al Ltd. The high -grade quartz vein boulder samples stated in this News
Release were analyzed for gold by the Total Pulp Metallics method. The sample submission
included gold standard and blank samples. Eastern Analytical Ltd., a certified laboratory, is
independent of Great Atlantic.

Great Atlantic reported a National Instrument 43-101 compliant mineral 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, B.Sc.,
P.Geo.). The reported inferred mineral resource estimate for the JMZ is as follows:
Resource Cutoff Au g/t Au Cap g/t Au Uncap g/t Tonnes Au Ounces Capped Au Ounces Uncapped
Total 1.1 9.3 10.4 357,500 106,400 119,900
Pit-
Constrained 0.6 11.4 14.1 157,300 57,800 71,200
Underground 1.5 7.5 7.6 200,200 48,600 48,700
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
As reported in the Na tional 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., t he JMZ was modelled as a single
quartz vein t hat 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 measure d 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
7
on at least two dr ill holes 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 proces sing 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 p rice 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 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 RIL. The RIL forms the western boundary of the Exploits Subzone. Recent significant
gold discoveries within the Exploits Subzone include those of Marathon Gold Corp.
(TSX.MOZ) at the V alentine 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,
and Queensway Project is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Golden Promise
Property.
