VANCOUVER, British Columbia – March 01, 2019 - GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES
CORP. (TSXV.GR) (the “Company” or “Great Atlantic”) is pleased to announce it has
acquired, through staking, the Golden Trust Property, located in the central Newfoundland gold
belt and 1 kilometer north of the Valentine Lake Gold Camp of Marathon Gold Corp.
(TSXV.MOZ). The Golden Trust Property covers an area of 2,400 hectares in a relatively under-

include:
• Located 1 km north of the Valentine Lake Gold Camp of Marathon Gold Corp. ,
approximately 44 km southwest of Great Atlantic’s Golden Promise Property and
approximately 31 km southwest of the Duck Pond VMS deposit.
• Within the prospective Victoria Lake Supergroup which hosts numerous epigenetic
gold & volcanogenic massive sulfide occurrences (including Duck Pond VMS
deposit).
• Within the Exploits Subzone of the Dunnage Zone and east of the Red Indian Line
(RIL), a major (Appalachian-scale) collisional boundary, and suture zone.
• Government till samples (2008) returned elevated to anomalous values for gold in
various regions of the Golden Trust Property.

The Golden Trust Property occurs within an under-explored area of the Newfoundland central gold
belt. Company management have been unable to locate any reports of historic diamond drilling
within the property. Till geochemical sampling conducted by the Newfoundland Depart ment of
Natural Resources in 2008 included a small number of wide-spaced samples within the Golden
Trust Property. Samples from various regions of the property returned elevated to anomalous
values for gold including in the 5-9 parts per billion range.
The southern boundary of the property is located 1 kilometer north of the northeast region of the
Valentine Lake Gold Camp of Marathon Gold Corp. (TSXV.MOZ). As reported on Marathon’s
website, the Valentine Lake Gold Camp currently hosts four near-surface, mainly pit -shell
constrained, deposits with measured and indicated resources totaling 2,691,400 oz. of gold at 1.85
g/t gold and inferred resources totalling 1,531,600 oz. of gold at 1.77 g/t. The Golden Trust
Property is located approximatel y 44 kilometers southwest of Great Atlantic’s Golden Promise
Gold Property which hosts multiple gold bearing quartz vein systems.
The Company’s Golden Trust and Golden Promise Properties and the Valentine Lake Gold Camp
of Marathon Gold Corp. all occur wi thin the Exploits Subzone of the Dunnage Zone. The Red
Indian Line (RIL), a major (Appalachian-scale) collisional boundary, and suture zone, forms the
western boundary of the Exploits Subzone.
The Golden Trust Property occurs within the Victoria Lake Supergroup (VLSG), a volcano -
sedimentary terrane within the Exploits Subzone. The VLSG hosts numerous volcanogenic
massive sulfide (VMS) and epigenetic gold occurrences. The most significant of the VMS deposits
within the VLSG is the Duck Pond deposit (zinc, lead, copper, silver and gold), located
approximately 31 kilometers northeast of the Golden Trust Property.

Readers are warned that mineralization at the Valentine Lake Gold Camp , Golden Promise
Property, Duc k Pond Deposit and elsewhere within the Exploits Subzone and VLSG is not
necessarily indicative of mineralization within the Golden Trust Property.
