Ten of 15 soil samples from a 300 meters long sample line through a new ly identified target
area returned anomalous gold values of 10 parts per billion (ppb) and higher including four
samples returning 39, 41, 71 and 137 ppb gold.
The 2022 exploration program was focused within the east region of the East Golden Promise
Property. Fifteen soil samples were collected along an east-west traverse approximately 300 meters
long crossing an area with quartz vein glacial float boulders. The soil samples were analyzed by
Eastern Analytical Ltd. (independent of Great Atlantic) for gold by fire assay – AA.
Ten soil samples (2/3 of samples) returned anomalous gold values of 10 ppb and higher,
including five samples returning 20 ppb gold and higher (20, 39, 41, 71 and 137 ppb Au).
Rock samples collected in this area during 2020 returned anomalous gold values up to 0.084
parts per million gold (84 ppb Au) from loose rock near bedrock (see Company news release of
December 7, 2022).
The area of the 2022 rock and soil samples represent s a new target area at the East Golden
Property for Great Atlantic with anomalous gold in soil and rock samples now confirmed. No
diamond drill holes are reported in this target area.
