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.

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.
