Great Atlantic Optionee Completes Diamond Drilling Program
At Porcupine Base Metal - Precious Metal - REE Property
Central New Brunswick
___________________________________________________________________
FOCUSED ON EXPLORING ATLANTIC CANADA
VANCOUVER, British Columbia – November 8, 2018 – GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES
CORP. (TSX.v: GR) (the “Company” or “Great Atlantic”) is pleased to announce that its optionee
Fort St. James Nickel Corp. (TSX.v: FTJ) has completed the 2018 diamond drilling program at its
Porcupine Base Metal - Precious Metal - Rare Earth Element (REE) Property, located in central New
Brunswick. The program was conducted in the central region of the property targeting an area of base metal
and silver mineralization discovered previously by Great Atlantic. Four shallow drill holes were completed
(227 total meters), all intersecting local base metal sulfide mineralization. Property highlights include:
• Channel Sample: 5.48% zinc & 1.08% lead over 1 meter (Line 4W Trench).
• Boulder Sample: 20.7% lead, 6.89% zinc and 122 G/T silver (Line 3W Trench).
• Multi-element soil geochemical anomalies in central and southern regions.
• Induced polarization (IP) geophysical anomalies in central and southern regions.

Vein with base metals sulfides in drill hole PO-18-4
The 2018 diamond drilling program tested under a mineralized exposer in a 2012 trench (Line 4W Trench).
A one meter channel sample collected from this exposure in 2012 was reported to return 5.48% zinc and
1.08% lead. A qualified person has not verified th is data as the sample location is no longer evident in the
trench. A qualified person has verified lead, zinc and copper sulfide mineralization in stringers / veins
within this approximately 25m long east -west trending trench. A boulder sample collected du ring 2012 in
an adjacent trench (Line 3W Trench) was reported to return 20.7% lead, 6.89% zinc, 2.04% copper and 122
grams / tonne (g/t) silver. A qualified person has not verified these boulders / data as this trench has been
reclaimed. The 2012 trenching was conducted by Great Atlantic in an area of base metal geochemical
anomalies and IP geophysical anomalies.
Each of the 2018 diamond drill holes intersected local, near -surface base metal sulfide mineralization,
occurring as disseminations in host rock and in veinlets / veins. Drill core samples are currently being cut
for multi-element analysis.

Veins with base metals sulfides in drill hole PO-18-1
The Porcupine Property occurs within the Miramichi terrane which trends northeast -southwest through
New Brunswick. The Miramichi terrane hosts numerous volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits in northeast
New Brunswick in the famous Bathurst Camp. Many of these deposits were mined, including the historic
Heath Steele Mine, located approximately 40 kilometers northeast of the Porcupine Property. Volcanic
rocks are reported locally within the Porcupine Property.

The Porcupine Property is located approximately 50 kilometers west of the city of Miramichi. Access is
excellent with logging roads transecting the property. The property currently covers an area of
approximately 2,830 hectares.
