RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV.GR) (the “Company” or “Great Atlantic”) is p leased to
announce it has identified gold soil geochemical anomal ies in the southern region of the Golden
Promise Property. The property is located within the cent ral Newfoundland gold belt. The gold
soil anomal ies are located approximately 600 – 700 meters northeast of the northeast striking
Linda / Snow White gold bearing quartz vein system. The soil samples were collected during the
2019 program, the highlights being:
• Two zones of
anomalous gold values along
a reconnaissance soil line.
• Eight of eleven soil
samples within a 275-meter
long section returned
anomalous gold values in the

projected strike of the Linda
/ Snow White vein system.

The 2019 B horizon soil samples were collected using hand -held augers. The sample locations
were established using hand -held GPS devices. The sample bags were sealed and stored in a
secure building until delivery to Eastern Analytical for gold and multi-element analysis. The gold
analysis was by fire assay (30-gram sub-samples). Eastern Analytical is a certified laboratory and
is independent of Great Atlantic. A Qualified Person managed the exploration program.
Great Atlantic also completed a diamond drilling program at the Golden Promise Property during
late 2019 (Great Atlanti c 2019 News Releases of October 15, October 29, November 12 and
December 3). The drilling program was conducted in the northern half of the property at the gold
bearing Jaclyn Main Zone, located approximately 25 kilometers northeast of the Linda / Snow
White vein system. Great Atlantic announced a 43-101 gold resource at the Jaclyn Main Zone in
December 2018. Analytical results for drill core samples from the 2019 drilling program are still
pending.
