Brunswick
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 11, 2026) -
GREAT ATLANTIC
RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV: GR) (the "Company" or "Great Atlantic")
is pleased to announce it
has received analytical results for stream sediment samples collected during 2024 at its 100% owned
Kagoot Brook Cobalt Property, located in northern New Brunswick.

Ten consecutive stream sediment samples over an approximately 900 meters long section of a
stream returned anomalous cobalt values in the 149 - 610 parts per million (ppm) range
confirming reported cobalt anomalies. This included five consecutive highly anomalous cobalt
values returning in 360 - 610 ppm range over an approximately 390 meters length.
The Kagoot Brook Property consists of one mineral claim covering an area of approximately 767
hectares, covering reported historical cobalt stream and spring sediment / silt geochemical anomalies,
with some samples reported from two streams (tributaries of Kagoot Brook) reported to be highly
anomalous for cobalt. Such anomalies were reported by the New Brunswick Department of Natural
Resources in the early 1980s along two northeast trending streams, one flowing from the southwest to
north-central region of the Kagoot Brook property and the other stream within the eastern region of the
property.
Five samples from these streams were reported to return highly anomalous cobalt
values in the 801 - 1316 ppm range (Davies, 1982).
Highly anomalous cobalt stream silt anomalies were reported in the areas of these streams by
Brunswick Mining and Smelting Corp. in the mid-1980s including multiple samples reported to
exceed 1,000 ppm cobalt (Brown, 1985) and during 2018 by Explorex Resources Inc. including
samples reported to exceed 1,000 ppm cobalt (up to 3,190 ppm cobalt) (Kemp, 2019).

The 2024 stream sediment sampling was conducted along the eastern stream for which cobalt stream
sediment / silt anomalies were previously reported. Eleven stream sediment samples were collected
from the stream bed during 2024 with samples collected at approximately 100 meters spacings along
the stream along an approximately 970 meters long section of the stream.
All but the northern-most
sample exceeded 100 ppm for cobalt (149 - 610 ppm). The three southern-most samples
returned anomalous cobalt values of 205 ppm, 149 ppm and 198 ppm. The next five samples
along an approximaterly 390 meters long section of the stream returned highly anomalous
cobalt values of 360 ppm, 610 ppm, 424 pm, 487 ppm and 547 ppm. The next two samples
returned anomalous cobalt values of 167 ppm and 193 ppm.
The northern-most stream sediment
sample returned 19 ppm cobalt.
The 2025 stream sediment samples were analyzed by ALS Canada Ltd. which is independent of Great
Atlantic. The eleven stream sediment samples were sieved to -180 microns. Portions of the sieved
fractions were analyzed for gold by Fire Assay - AA and analyzed for 34 elements (including cobalt) by
four acid digestion - ICP-AES. The samples also returned up to 336 ppm zinc and 196 ppm nickel.
Great Atlantic has not identified the source of the cobalt stream sediment anomalies identified during the
2024 sampling. The Company is planning focused prospecting, rock - soil geochemical sampling and
geophysical surveys in the area of the five central highly anomalous samples (360 - 610 ppm Co) and
the area upstream of these samples. Great Atlantic is planning similar stream sediment sampling during
2026 for the second stream in the southwest to north-central regions of the property in areas of reported
cobalt stream sediment / silt anomalies. Great Atlantic has not confirmed cobalt anomalies to date along
this second stream.
