Great Atlantic Receives Diamond Drilling and Trenching Approvals for

New Target Area

At Its 100% Owned Golden Promise Gold Property

Central Newfoundland

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – December 12, 2023 - GREAT ATLANTIC

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

announce it has received approval from the government of Newfound and Labrador for

additional diamond drilling and trenching at its flagship Golden Promise Gold Property located

in the central Newfoundland. The approval is for five drill holes and three trenches within the

southern region of the property in an area of gold soil geochemical anomalies. Great Atlantic

has not conducted any such diamond drilling or trenching to date in this relatively

underexplored area of the Golden Promise Property.

The area of approved diamond drilling and trenching is within the southwest region of the

Golden Promise Property within Mineral Licence 0 36105M. This target area is located

approximately 3.5 to 4.0 kilometers northeast of Linda / Snow White gold bearing quartz vein

system. This is an area of gold soil geochemical anomalies identified by the Company during the

2018 and 2020 exploration programs (see Company News Releases of September 27, 2018 , and

November 20, 2022) . This zone of gold soil anomalies has an apparent length of at least 500

meters with an apparent width of approximately 90 -200 meters (defined by four soil sample

lines) with 22 of 28 samples within the zone returning anomalous gold values of 5 parts per

billion (ppb) and higher (up to 77 ppb Au). The five planned drill holes and three planned

trenches will test different parts of this zone of gold soil anomalies. The planned drilling will be

approximately 1500-2000 meters.

3

The Golden Promise Property hosts gold bearing quartz veins in various regions of the property

including the Jaclyn Zone quartz vein systems , Shawn’s Shot vein, Otter Brook occurrence,

Linda / Snow White quartz vein system and the Gabbro occurrence.

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

Dunnage Zone. 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

at Great Atlantic’s Golden Promise Property.
