The fully funded drill program (up to nine drill holes and estimated 900 total meters) is being
conducted at the gold-bearing Jaclyn Main Zone (JMZ) in the area of a planned bulk sample.
The 2024 drilling program is being conducted with partner Novamera Inc. and will include
Novamera's proprietary Guidance Technology, providing increased data and resource
knowledge to define the shape, geometry and continuity of the vein. The drilling is being
conducted in the area of a planned bulk sample, which is also fully funded.
The objective of the 2024 diamond drilling program is to further define gold bearing quartz veins in one
part of the JMZ in preparation for extraction of the bulk sample. The drilling program is being conducted
within the west region of the JMZ targeting gold bearing veins to approximately 100 meters vertical
depth.

The 2024 diamond drilling and subsequent planned bulk sample work at the JMZ is being

technologies, as part of a larger project that aims to support data-driven and digital solutions
within the mining sector.

The planned approximately 2700 tonne bulk sample at the JMZ is to be extracted after diamond
drilling and bulk sampling approval using a precision mining method, powered by Novamera's
proprietary
Surgical Mining
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.
Great Atlantic confirmed high-grade gold in quartz veins in the west region of the JMZ during 2019 and
2021 diamond drilling programs, including near surface high grade intercepts (core length) of
113.07
grams / tonne (g/t) gold over 0.55 meters and 61.35 g/t gold over 2.04 meters
(see Company news
releases for results of 2019 and 2021 diamond drilling programs).
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)
(see Company News Release of December 6, 2018; and Sedar-filed National Instrument
43-101 Technical Report on the Golden Promise Property, Central Newfoundland (revised), dated
December 4, 2018 by Mr. Greg Z. Mosher, M.Sc. App., P.Geo., and Mr. Larry Pilgrim, B.Sc., P.Geo.).

There is no certainty that all or any part of the Mineral Resources estimated will be converted into Mineral Reserves.
Mineral resource tonnage and contained metal have been rounded to reflect the accuracy of the estimate, and numbers may not
add due to rounding.
Mineral resource tonnage and grades are reported as undiluted.
Contained Au ounces are in-situ and do not include recovery losses.
