Great Atlantic Receives Additional Trenching Permit

100% Owned Golden Promise Gold Property

Central Newfoundland

VANCOUVER, British Columbia January 18, 2024 - GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES

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

received approval for additional trenching at its flagship Golden Promise Gold Property located in

the central Newfoundland gold belt. The new trenching permit is for the southern region of the

property in an area of reported geophysical anomalies.

The new approval is for up to five excavator trenches within Mineral Licences 036105M in the

southern region of the Golden Promise P roperty to test an area of reported magnetic and

electromagnetic geophysical anomalies reported northeast of the Gabbro Zone G old

Occurrence. The geophysical anomalies in this area were identified during a 2003 airborne

geophysical survey by Rubicon Mineral Corp. Great Atlantic confirmed gold mineralization at

the Gabbro Zone Gold Occurrence during 2019 (see Company News Release of January 20,

2020) including grab samples of quartz veins cutting g abbro returning 0.80 and 1.11 grams /

tonne gold.

The five trenches approved are also within the area of the reported contact of the Stanley Waters

Formation and the Lawrence Harbour Formation (Rogers et al., 2005), both part of the Victoria

Lake Supergroup within the Exploits Subzone. Some gold bearing quartz veins within the Golden

Promise Property are located near the reported contact of these two formations including the Jaclyn

Zone, Shawn’s Shot and the Linda / Snow White gold bearing quartz veins / vein systems. Great

Atlantic is planning to conduct this trenching program during the 2024 field season.

The Golden Promise Property is located within the Exploits Subzone of the Newfoundland

Dunnage Zone. 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 m ineralization

on Great Atlantic’s gold properties in this region.
