FOCUSED ON EXPLORING ATLANTIC CANADA
VANCOUVER, British Columbia – May 14 , 20 20 – GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES
CORP. (TSXV.GR) (the “Company” or “Great Atlantic”) is pleased to announce it is
planning exploration during 2020 at its Keymet Precious Metal - Base Metal Property, located in
northeast New Brunswick. The program , planned to be gin this spring, will focus on gold
exploration in the southwest region of the property. The Company has identified exploration
targets in this region based on historical work. Reported historic highlights in this region include
a reported trench chip samp le of 2.5 grams / tonne ( g/t) gold over 6.1 meters length and
reported soil samples of 217 and 325 parts per billion (ppb).

Company management have evaluated historical public records and have identified targets for
focused 2020 gold exploration in the southwest region of the Keymet Property.
Gold soil geochemical anomalies and gold bearing rock samples are reported within th e
southwest region of the Keymet P roperty. A gold occurrence referred to as the Alcida East
occurrence is reported in this region of the property. Reported historical highlights for this region
include:
• 2.5 grams / tonne (g/t) gold over 6.1 meters and 1.9 g/t gold over 1.5 metes in historical
trench (1980s).
• 3.3 g/t gold over 0.60 meters in historical trench and 4.3 g/t gold in grab sample (Alcida
East occurrence).
• Gold soil geochemical anomalies were reported during 2005, including reported high
values for gold of 217 and 325 ppb.
Three gold deposits with reported mineral resources are reported west of the southwest
region of the Keymet Property within adjacent mineral claims. Great Atlantic has no interest
in these adjacent mineral claims. These deposits, referred to as the West Gabbro Zone,
Discovery Zone and South Gold Zone, are reported within 2 kilometers of the Keymet
Property southwest boundary.

Micon International Limited reported 43 -101 compliant mineral resources for the West Gabbro
Zone (WGZ), South Gold Zone (SGZ) and Discovery Zone (DZ) in Technical Report on the
Mineral Resource Estimate for the Elmtree Gold Property (Effective Date: 4 March 2011) for
CNRP Mining Inc. and Gorilla Resources Corp. The reported resources include:
• WGZ: Indicated Resources: 1,611,000 tonnes @ 1.91 g/t gold
2,053,000 tonnes @ 1.67 g/t gold
• SGZ: Inferred Resources: 2,237,000 tonnes @ 0.74 g/t gold
• DZ: Inferred Resources: 741,000 tonnes @ 1.18 g/t gold
As reported by Micon International Limited, the resources were estimated using a three -
dimensional block modelling approach. For each mine ralized zone, wireframe models were built
up from intersected geologic limits. Grade interpolation for the WGZ was conducted using the
inverse distance cubed technique while interpolations for the DZ and SGZ were conducted using
the nearest neighbour technique due to limited drill hole information. The cut-off grade used was
0.5 g/t gold.
Readers are warned that mineralization at the West Gabbro Zone, South Gold Zone and
Discovery Zone on adjacent mineral claims west of the Company’s Kemet Property is not
necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Keymet Property.
Great Atlantic is also planning exploration during 2020 , beginning this spring in the northwest
region of the Keymet Property with the focus being gold. Since acquiring the property, the
Company has discovered gold bearing float and gold in bedrock (in drill holes and trenches) in
this region of the property as well as veins containing high grade zinc, lead, copper and / or silver
(see news releases on the Company’s website). This included high grade gold in one boulder
sample, which returned 51 g/t gold.
Great Atlantic is planning prospecting, rock / soil geochemical sampling and geophysics surveys
in the southwest and northwest regions of the property during 2020 to identify targets for
trenching and diamond drilling. The southwest region will be the main focus during 2020.
The Keymet Property hosts the historic Keymet Mine, located in the northwest region of the
property. The Keymet Mi ne operated during the mid -1950s, producing copper, lead, zinc and
silver. Production at this mine was terminated due to a fire at the site.
Readers are warned that historical records referred to in this News Release have been examined
but not verified b y a Qualified Person. Further work is required to verify that historical records
referred to in this News Release are accurate.
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.
