Great Atlantic Resources Option Partner Completes Drill Program
On Kagoot Brook Co-Mn Base Metals Project, New Brunswick
___________________________________________________________________
FOCUSED ON EXPLORING ATLANTIC CANADA
VANCOUVER, British Columbia – January 21, 2019 – GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES
CORP. (TSX .v: GR) (the “Company” or “Great Atlantic”) is pleased to announce its option
partner Explorex Resources Inc. has completed its maiden drill program at the Kagoot Brook
Cobalt/Manganese base metals property in New Brunswick prior to the Christmas Break. The Company
completed two holes for a total 500 metres. This initial two-hole drilling program was limited in scope and
designed to drill along one transect across the target stratigraphy within the 4 x 1 kilometre target area.
The Explorex geological crew has returned to New Brunswick to finish processing the core produced during
the December 2018 drilling program. It is anticipated that the processing of the core will take one week to
complete, and results should be available mid to late February.
Kagoot Brook Co – Mn – Base Metals Project
Historical work at Kagoot Brook has delineated two drainages, two kilometres apart, that exhibit a series
of remarkably anomalous cobalt values up to 6,000 ppm* in the silts (see Explorex news releases dated
May 31 and February 14, 2018).
Follow-up stream silt sampling programs performed by the Explorex during 2018 revealed:
(i) a significant concentration of and a strong relationship of cobalt with manganese and associated
base metals (nickel, copper, lead and zinc);
(ii) the relative percentage of the cobalt to manganese indicates a favourable high cobalt tenor (i.e.
grade component); and
(iii) a distinct upstream cut-off of the cobalt mineralization (see Explorex news release dated
November 5, 2018).
The project area is blanketed b y a thin till cover with little or no outcrop and the in -stream silt grade cut -
offs are interpreted to closely reflect the southern contact of the underlying mineralized horizon. The grade
cut-offs align well with stratigraphy adding confidence to the >2 km inferred potential length of
mineralization along the geological trend.
*Note: The stream silt samples reported in this release are solely designed to show the presence or absence
of mineralization and to characterize the mineralization. Silt samples a re by definition selective and not
intended to provide nor should be construed as a representative indication of grade or mineralization at the
projects.
