Great Atlantic’s Option Partner Plans Further Drilling At The Kagoot Brook
Cobalt – Manganese – Base Metals Project In New Brunswick
___________________________________________________________________
FOCUSED ON EXPLORING ATLANTIC CANADA
VANCOUVER, British Columbia – January 29, 2019 – GREAT ATLANTIC
RESOURCES CORP. (TSX.v: GR) (the “Company” or “Great Atlantic”) is pleased to
announce its Optionee Explorex Resources Inc. plans to conduct a comprehensive exploration program, at
the Kagoot Brook Co-Mn-Base Metals project in New Brunswick, consisting of a detailed geophysical
survey followed by a 2,000m drill program.
Historical work at Kagoot Brook has delineated two drainages, two kilometres apart, that exhibit a series
of remarkably anomalous cobalt values up to 6,000 ppm* in the silts (see Explorex news releases dated
May 31 and February 14, 2018).
Recent follow-up stream silt sampling programs performed by Explorex revealed:
(i) a significant concentration of and a strong relationship of cobalt with manganese and
associated base metals (nickel, copper, lead and zinc);
(ii) the relative percentage of the cobalt to manganese indicates a favourable high cobalt tenor
(i.e. grade component); and
(iii) a distinct upstream cut-off of the cobalt mineralization (see Explorex news release dated
November 5, 2018).
The project area is blanketed by a thin till cover with little or no outcrop and the in-stream silt grade cut-
offs are interpreted to closely reflect the southern contact of the underlying mineralized horizon. The
grade cut-offs align well with stratigraphy adding confidence to the >2 km inferred potential length of
mineralization along the geological trend.
Explorex took advantage of a window of opportunity and completed two holes for a total 500 metres prior
to the Christmas break. This initial two-hole drill program was limited in scope and designed to drill
along one transect across the target stratigraphy within the 4 x 1 kilometre target area. The processing of
the core is complete and results should be available mid to late February.
The planned exploration program will consist of comprehensive geophysical coverage of the target area
followed by a 2,000m drill program.
