Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 10, 2025) -
GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES
CORP. (TSXV: GR) (the "Company" or "Great Atlantic")

The application is for extraction of a bulk sample at the gold bearing Jaclyn Main Zone (JMZ).
"With the recent $2.6-billion Equinox-Calibre deal
(EQX & CXB) highlighting the strategic value of
Newfoundland's gold assets, we are encouraged to be advancing our 22,000 HA Land Package in
Great Atlantics wholly owned Sub , Golden Promise Mines Inc
which is as close as 1 kilometre from
Calibre's Valentine Gold Mine, 24000 HA Land Package
putting us right next door to one of the
region's largest and most active gold operations. As we move forward with the world's first innovative
precision mining initiative being funded by Digital cluster Canada in conjunction with Novamera at the
Jaclyn Main Zone, we believe Great Atlantic is well positioned to benefit from the increasing attention
and consolidation activity in this high-grade gold district,"
states -
Mr. Anderson, CEO & President.
Pending bulk sampling approval, extraction of the planned approximately 2700 tonne bulk
sample at the JMZ is planned during the summer of 2025 by Golden Promise Mines Inc. with
partner Novamera Inc. using a precision mining method, powered by Novamera's full suite of
Surgical Mining
TM
technologies. The transformative new mining method leverages hardware,
software, AI and ML paired with conventional drilling equipment to extract ore at a fraction of
the cost of conventional mining methods. Three large diameter drill holes are planned to extract
the bulk sample.
The planned bulk sampling work at the JMZ will be funded in part by co-investment from
DIGITAL, Canada's Global Innovation Cluster for digital technologies, as part of a larger project
that aims to support data-driven and digital solutions within the mining sector.

announcement can be found

Extraction of the bulk sample is planned in the west region of the JMZ. Golden Promise Mines Inc.
completed eight drill holes during September - October of 2024 in the area of the planned bulk sample.
All eight holes were drilled on the same northwest - southeast trend to intersect the steeply dipping, east
to slightly northeast trending JMZ. The eight holes were designed to target the JMZ between surface and
approximately 100 meters vertical depth.
Seven of the holes intersected quartz veins with visible
gold.
Half core samples from these veins included (core length) (see Company news releases of

The 2024 drilling was conducted with partner Novamera Inc.
Two additional close-spaced drill
holes (9
th
and 10
th
2024 drill holes) were completed during December of 2024 in this area of the
JMZ. The 9
th
and 10
th
drill holes included the use of Novamera's proprietary Guidance Tool,
providing increased data and resource knowledge to define the shape, geometry and continuity
of the vein. These two steep holes were drilled approximately down - dip of the JMZ and are
located in the area of the planned 2025 bulk sample. The Guidance Tool collects data within a 3-
4 meter radius of the borehole to create a high-resolution 3D orebody model, which is then
used to calculate the optimal drill trajectory for Surgical Mining
TM
. A third down-dip hole is
planned at this site later this month.
Great Atlantic reported a National Instrument 43-101 compliant inferred resource estimate
during late 2018 for the JMZ of 357,500 tonnes at 10.4 g/t gold (119,900 ounces of gold -
uncapped)
