Great Atlantic Completes Drilling Program

Intersects Base Metal Sulfides in Semi-Massive Sulfide Veins and

Indicator Mineral for Gold Mineralization

100% Owned Keymet Precious & Base Metal Property,

New Brunswick

__________________________________________________________________

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – October 14, 2021 – GREAT ATLANTIC ESOURCES

CORP. (TSXV.GR) (the “Company” or “Great Atlantic”) is pleased to announce it is

completed the 2021 diamond drilling program at its Keymet Base Metal – Precious Metal Project,

located in Northern New Brunswick. The drilling program, consisting of 10 holes (2,061 meters)

tested testing numerous targets in the northwest region of the property. Veins containing semi -

massive sulfides (including copper, zinc and lead sulfides ) and arsenopyrite (an indicator for

potential gold mineralization) were intersected in multiple holes. Analytical results are pending.

The ten drill holes (Ky-21-23 to Ky -21-32) tested areas of polymetallic (zinc, copper, lead and

silver) veins; untested electromagnetic anomalies; and gold bearing bedrock and float.

The Company previously discovered high grade gold, silver, copper and zinc in this region,

including a drill intercept of 9.04% zinc, 9.19% copper and 1,158 gams per tonne (g/t) silver over

3.00 meters core length and a boulder sample returning 51 grams / tonne (g/t) gold.

Seven drill holes intersected veins hosting copper, zinc and / or lead sulfide mineralization ,

including veins with semi -massive sulfides. These include drill holes Ky -21-23 which tested the

possible extension of the Elmtree Silver Mine vein occurrence southeast of the historic shaft; Ky-

21-25 which tested a new target area; Ky-21-27, Ky-21-28, Ky-21-30, and Ky-21-31 which tested

the Elmtre e 12 polymetallic vein system; and Ky -21-29 which was the first drill hole into an

electromagnetic anomaly.

Six drill holes (Ky -21-25 to Ky -21-30) intersected intervals with arsenopyrite mineralization.

Previous work by the Company has identified gold min eralization associated with arsenopyrite

mineralization in this region of the property.

The drill core is being geologically logged and with mineralized intervals (with base metal sulfides

and arsenopyrite) being sampled. Half core samples will be submitted to an independent laboratory

for multi-element analysis (including gold, zinc, copper, lead and silver).

High grade silver and lead is reported at the Emtree Silver Mine historic workings by the New

Brunswick Department of Energy and Resource Development.

Great Atlantic discovered high -grade zinc, copper and silver mineralization at th e Emtree 12

polymetallic vein system during 2015 - 2018 drilling programs including:

• Ky-15-3: 16.68% Zn, 1.11% Cu, 0.44% Pb and 152 g/t Ag over 1.80 meters.

• Ky-15-4: 8.68% Zn, 0.29% Cu, 0.20% Pb and 44 g/t Ag over 4.28 meters.

• Ky-17-6: 7.67% Zn, 1.57% Cu, 0.48% Pb and 209 g/t Ag over 4.95 meters.

• Ky-18-10: 7.91% Zn, 0.53% Cu, 0.21% Pb and 77 g/t Ag over 3.27 meters.

• Ky-18-12: 8.90% Zn, 3.81% Cu, 0.60% Pb and 157 g/t Ag over 1.20 meters.

• Ky-18-14: 9.04% Zn, 9.19% Cu, 2.16% Pb and 1,158 g/t Ag over 3.00 meters.

• Ky-18-14: 12.08% Zn, 0.31% Cu, 0.30% Pb and 59 g/t Ag over 4.50 meters.

The Company is also conducting prospecting and rock / soil geochemical sampling during 2021

in the central region of the property with a focus on gold. The 2021 exploration program at the

Keymet Property is being managed by a Qualified Person.
