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.
