VANCOUVER, British Columbia – December 11 , 2019 - GREAT ATLANTIC
RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV.GR) (the “Company” or “Great Atlantic”) is pleased to
announce it has completed the Phase 1 diamond drilling program on its Glenelg Vanadium
Property, located in southwest New Brunswick . The program consisted of three holes (308 total
meters) which tested magnetic geophysical anomalies within the Bocabec Gabbro Complex. The
program was stopped prematurely . A target
area with vanadium – titanium bearing
outcrops could not be accessed during the
program due to very wet fall conditions. The
program was partially funded through the New
Brunswick Junior Mining Assistance Program
(NBJMAP).
The 2019 Phase 1 drilling program was
conducted in the southeast region of the
Glenelg Property within the Bocabec Gabbro
Complex. The program tested magnetic
geophysical anomalies. Suc h magnetic
anomalies are interpreted by Company
management to be targets for vanadium and
titanium bearing magnetite -rich rich layers
within the Complex.

Glenelg Property highlights include:
Vanadium, titanium & iron
mineralization in layered
Bocabec Gabbro Complex.
Company & historic bedrock
grab samples of 0.33% &
0.42% V2O5 & 27.5% TiO2.
Historic bedrock grab
samples of 14 g/t Au, 1.28%
Bi & 0.65% Co.
Company bedrock grab samples and reported historic bedrock grab samples from th e southeast
region of the Property returned significant levels of vanadium and titanium. A 2018 grab sample
collected by the Company in this region from a magnetic layer in the Bocabec Gabbro Complex
returned 0.188% vanadium (0.33% V2O5), 10.3% TiO2 and 25.71% iron. This sample was
collected by a qualified person. This sample was analyzed by A LS Canada Ltd. by XRF Fusion.
Another 2018 bedrock grab sample from the same southeast region of the property was reported
to return 0.234% vanadium (0.42% V2O5), 7.34% titanium (12.2%TiO2) and 28.8% iron. This
sample was collected by one of the Company’s option partners for the property. A 2013 sample
from this region was reported to return 16.5% titanium (27.5% TiO2). These samples have not
been verified by a Qualified Person. The area of these outcrops could not be accessed during the
2018 drilling program due wet fall conditions.
The drill core has been transported to a secure facility for processing. Drill core samples will be
submitted to a certified, independent laboratory for multi -element analysis including vanadium,
titanium and iron.
Polymetallic veins are reported within the Glenelg Property. A grab sample collected during
2006 was reported to return 2.6 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 0.65% cobalt. A 2013 grab
sample from a sulfide vein was reported to return 14 g/t gold, 1.28% bismuth and 0.12% cobalt.
Both samples are reported within the southeast region of the property . These samples have not
been verified by a Qualified Person.
The Company acquired the Glenelg Property earlier in 2019 and subsequently expanded the
property threefold to the current area of approximately 3,500 hectares ( Company News Releases
of May 6 and September 30, 2019) to cover a broader area of the Siluran Bocabec Gabbro
Complex (intrusive complex including gabbro, granodiorite, diorite and granite) with multiple
4
reported m agnetic anomalies and three gold occurrences (as r eported in the New Brunswick
Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development Mineral Occurrence files). A
reported 1990 bedrock grab sample of quartz -sulfide breccia from one of the gold occurrences
was reported to return 1.33 g/t gold.
The Glenelg Property is located immediately south of the Clarence Stream Gold Project of
Galway Metals Inc. (TSXV.GWM). A portion of the northern boundary of the Glenelg Property
borders Galway’s Clarence Stream Gold Project. Galway reported a NI 43 -101 resource estimate
for the project during 2017, reporting total Measured plus Indicated resources of 6,178,000
tonnes at 1.96 g/t gold (390,000 ounces of gold) and total Inferred resources o f 3,409,000 tonnes
at 2.53 g/t gold (277,000 ounces of gold). Galway reported a new gold discovery at the Clarence
Stream Gold Project earlier this year with one hole reported to intersect 7.3 g/t gold over 36.7
meters core length (Galway News Release of February 13, 2019).
The Glenelg Vanadium Property is located within southwest New Brunswick approximately 20
kilometers east of the town of St. Stephen and approximately 15 kilometers northwest of the
Company’s Mascarene Property which hosts multiple miner al occurrences with cobalt, copper,
nickel, zinc, lead, gold and / or silver.
