Great Atlantic Now Completing the Final
Guidance Hole While Awaiting the Arrival of

Owned Golden Promise Gold Property, Central
Newfoundland
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 24, 2025) -
GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES
CORP. (TSXV: GR) (the "Company" or "Great Atlantic")
is pleased to announce its wholly owned
subsidiary, Golden Promise Mines Inc., has mobilized diamond drilling equipment to its Golden Promise
Gold Property to complete one additional pre-bulk sampling hole,
partnering with Novamera Inc.,
at
the gold bearing Jaclyn Main Zone (JMZ). The property is located in central Newfoundland.

"We are now drilling the final of three strategically placed guidance holes-this marks the last step
necessary to assist in the precise orientation of the BoreDrill prior to commencing our 2,700-tonne
bulk sample, which will target material grading over 10.4 grams of gold per tonne.
This will be the first time in the world that AI-assisted Surgical Mining™ is deployed using directional
drilling with a 2.5-meter-wide BoreDrill. If successful, it will represent a major leap forward-not only for
Great Atlantic and our development plans at Golden Promise, but for the broader mining sector as a
whole.
The custom-built directional drill head is currently en route from Italy, while the BoreDrill itself is on a
vessel from the Netherlands. Both are expected to arrive at the port in Newfoundland during the first
week of May. We anticipate beginning the bulk sample program within the next couple of months,"
states CEO Anderson.
The hole will be a steep down-dip hole in the area of the planned 2025 bulk sample site at the
JMZ. This will be the third and final of three steep down-dip holes in the area of the planned bulk
sample program. The first two down-dip holes were completed during December, 2024.

This drill hole, as with the two late 2024 drill holes, will utilize Novamera's proprietary Guidance
Tool and will be managed by Novamera Inc.
Novamera's proprietary Guidance Tool will be again used to provide increased data and
knowledge to define the vein's shape, geometry, and continuity. It is used to collect subsurface
data to define the geometry of the JMZ vein (s). The Guidance Tool collects data within a 3-4
meter radius of the borehole to create a high-resolution 3D orebody model, which is then used
to calculate the optimal drill trajectory for Surgical Mining
TM
.
The hole will be drilled in the west region of the JMZ in the same area as the 2024 drilling program which
consisted of eight cross-cutting drill holes and the two steep, down-dip holes. The diamond drilling and
planned bulk sample work is fully funded.
Golden Promise Mines Inc. has submitted an application
to the Newfoundland and Labrador government for the JMZ planned bulk sample program (see
Great Atlantic new release of April 10, 2025).
Prior to completion of the steep, down-dip drill holes, eight cross-cutting drill holes (GP-24-157 to GP-
24-164) were completed during September - October of 2024. These cross-cutting drill holes tested the
JMZ at various depths in the area of the planned 2025 bulk sample program.
Analytical results for drill
core samples received to date for these holes have confirmed high grade gold including the
following intercepts

The 2024 - 2025 diamond drilling discussed in this news release and the planned 2025 bulk
sample program at the JMZ is being funded in part by co-investment from DIGITAL, Canada's
Global Innovation Cluster for digital technologies, as part of a larger project that aims to support
data-driven and digital solutions within the mining sector.
The Link to the announcement can be

.
The planned approximately 2700 tonne bulk sample at the JMZ is to be extracted (pending
approval by the Newfoundland and Labrador government) using a precision mining method,
powered by Novamera's full suite of Surgical Mining
TM
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 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 (inferred 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.).
