VANCOUVER, British Columbia – August 10, 2017 – GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES CORP.
(TSXV.GR) (the “Company” or “Great Atlantic”) is pleased to announce it is conducting prospecting
and rock sampling at its Porcupine Property, the focus being cobalt and lead soil geochemical anomalies
in the central region of the property. The Porcupine Property is located in central New Brunswick.
Great Atlantic identified soil geochemical anomalies during 2015 and 2016 locally within the central
region of the Porcupine Property. Three soil samples in the southwest corner of the survey area returned
anomalous cobalt values of 50, 69 and 452 parts per million (ppm) ppm cobalt. This anomaly is open to
the south and west. Multiple samples in the northern part of the survey area returned anomalous values for
2
lead, including values of 362, 426, 437 and 504 ppm lead. The company is currently investigating both
areas of soil geochem ical anomalies, conducting focussed prospecting and rock sampling with the
objective of identifying the source of these anomalies.
Lead, zinc and silver mineralization occurs in both boulders and bedrock in the northern region of the
Porcupine Property. Great Atlantic discovered a mineralized zone in a trench in this northern region
during 2012. A one meter channel sample across this zone returned 5.48% zinc and 1.08% lead. This zone
was reported to be within sheared volcanic rocks. Great Atlant ic collected grab samples of mineralized
boulders during 2012 from another trench in this northern region. One sample returned 20.7% lead,
6.89% zinc, 2.04% copper and 122 ppm (grams / tonne) silver.
Access to the property is excellent with a dirt logging road passing through the central region of the
property. The property is located approximately 50 kilometres southwest of the city of Miramichi. The
property covers and area of approximately 1,270 hectares
