Tungsten Target Area 300 Meters by 400 Meters
100% Owned South Quarry TUNGSTEN Property
Newfoundland
VANCOUVER, British Columbia - December 13th , 20 22 – GREAT ATLANTIC
RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV.GR) (the “Company” or “Great Atlantic”) is pleased to
announce it has received positive analytical results for soil samples collected during 2022 at its
100% owned South Quarry Tungsten Property, located in east-central Newfoundland.

Ten soil samples from two adjacent sample lines in the central region of the property returned
anomalous tungsten values in the 21.9 – 79.0 parts per million (ppm) range, confirming a new
target area for tungsten exploration approximately 300 meters by 200 to 400 meters.
The 2022 soil geochemical sampling included sampling within the central region of the property ,
south of two quarries which host veins containing high-grade t ungsten mineralization. Soil
sampling was conducted along three east-west reconnaissance soil lines in this central region using
hand-held augers. Sample spacing along the three lines was generally approximately 50 meters
and approximately 100 meters in a few locations. Thirty-two total soil samples were collected
along these lines.
Ten samples from the central and northern lines returned anomalous tungsten values in the
21.9 – 79.0 ppm range defining a new target area for tungsten exploration. These two sample
lines are approximately 300 meters apart. The anomalous samples define a target area
approximately 300 meters by approximately 200-400 meters. Company management are not
aware of any diamond drilling in this central region.
• Six of nine samples along an approximately 400-meters long section of the central
sample line returned anomalous tungsten values in the 21.9 - 79.0 ppm range.
• Four consecutive samples along an approximately 200 -meters long section of the
northern sample line returned anomalous tungsten values in the 22.4 - 57.3 ppm range.

The northern-most soil line in this central region is located approximately 500 meters south of the
southern-most quarry which hosts veins with high-grade tungsten mineralization. During the 2015
field season, Great Atlantic confirmed high -grade tungsten mineralization in this quarry and an
adjacent quarry within scheelite-bearing pegmatite veins including eleven grab samples from one
of the quarries that exceeded 5% WO3 as well as a grab sample from a 25-centimetres wide vein
that yielded 11.94% WO 3. Tungsten-bearing pegmatite veins were also confirmed by Great
Atlantic elsewhere in the northern region of the property during subsequent exploration programs
(see news releases on the Great Atlantic website for results of previous work at the South Quarry
Property).
Great Atlantic is pla nning additional work within this central zone of tungsten soil anomalies
during 2023 to further define the target area. Planned work include s additional soil geochemical
sampling and focused prospecting and rock geochemical sampling. Geophysical surveys a re also
being considered for this area.
The 2022 soil samples analyzed by ALS Canada Ltd. The 2022 tungsten analyses referred to in
this news release were by Lithium Borate Fusion, ICP -MS. The samples were also analyzed for
gold by Fire Assay – AAS. All but three soil samples returned less than the 0.005 -ppm detection
limit for gold. Three samples returned weakly anomalous values of 0.005 ppm gold. ALS Canada
Ltd. is independent of Great Atlantic.

A Qualified Person managed the 2022 exploration program at South Quarry and verified the
analytical data stated in this news release . A Qualified Person also verified the 2015 sample data
stated in this news release and managed the 2015 sampling. The 2015 rock samples (and lab -
inserted blank, duplicate and standard samples) were also analyzed at ALS Canada Ltd. Tungsten
analysis was by lithium metaborate fusion followed by acid dissolution and ICP-MS analysis with
some samples re-analyzed by XRF.
The South Quarry Property consists of seven licences with a total area of 2,950 hectares.
