VANCOUVER, British Columbia – August 26, 2021 - GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES
CORP. (TSXV.GR) (the “Company” or “Great Atlantic”) is pleased to announce it has
completed the eighth drill hole (GP -21-156) of the 2021 diamond drilling program at its Golden
Promise Gold Property, located in the central Newfoundland gold belt. The drill hole is part of the
Company’s Phase 2 drilling program at the Jaclyn Zone, being completed at the Jaclyn North Zone
in an area of gold bearing quartz boulders. GP-21-156 intersected visible gold within a quartz
veined interval.

Drill Hole GP-21-156 is a definition hole, further testing the Jaclyn North Zone (JNZ) east of pre-
Great Atlantic drilling. The hole was drilled within a zone of gold bearing quartz boulders. It was
drilled slightly southeast at an approximate 50 -degree dip to a length of 122 meters. The hole
intersected a zone of faulting and quartz veining at 19.35 – 22.65 meters. The main quartz vein
within this interval was intersected at 22.10 – 22.65 meters and contains visible gold and sulfide
mineralization.
The Company’s Phase 2 drilling program to date (late 2020 – 2021) has extended the extended the
JNZ quartz vein system approximately 260 meters further east along strike with each of the six
holes completed in th is part of the zone intersecting quartz veins. Each of the three 2020 holes
(GP-20-146 to GP -20-148) intersected gold bearing quartz veins while assays are pending for
samples from the three 2021 holes in the zone (GP-21-154 to GP-21-156) (see News Releases on
the Company’s website).
The company located gold bearing quartz boulders during 2017-2020 in the area of current
drilling at the JNZ, including four boulder samples exceeding 100 g/t gold. This northeast
trending quartz boulder field is approximately 300 meters long.

The Phase 2 drilling will include up to 33 drill holes at the gold bearing Jaclyn Zone with holes
completed and planned at the J aclyn Main Zone (JMZ) and JNZ and total planned drilling of
approximately 5,000 meters. The objective of drilling at the JMZ is to further define the zone and
provide information for an updated resource estimate of the JMZ. The first five holes completed
during 2021 were at the JMZ with visible gold interested in quartz veins in four holes (assays
pending). The Company is continuing the drill hole numbering system from previous drilling
programs. Most of the completed and planned holes at th e JMZ are within the central to west
region of the zone, testing above 200 meters vertical depth. Two holes are planned in the east part
of the JMZ during Phase 2 to test the zone at 200-350 meters vertical depth. Planned holes at the
JNZ are east of pre-Great Atlantic drilling.
Great Atlantic reported a National Instrument 43 -101 compliant inferred resource estimate
during late 2018 for the J MZ of 357, 500 tonnes at 10.4 g/t gold (119,900 ounces of gold -
uncapped).
The Company confirmed high-grade gold at the J MZ during initial 2019 drilling, including
near surface intercepts (core length) of 113.07 grams / tonne (g/t) gold over 0.55 meters, 61.35
g/t gold over 2.04 meters and 15.8 g/t gold over 2.70 meters plus an interval of multiple go ld
bearing veins in GP-19-140 averaging 2.30 g/t gold over 25.25 meters.

The Golden Promise Property is located within a region of recent significant gold discoveries. The
property is located within the Exploits Subzone of the Newfoundland Dunnage Zone. Wi thin 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 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, and Queensway Project is not necessarily indicative of mineralization
the Golden Promise Property.
