"Site setup at the Jaclyn Main Zone is now nearly complete. Testing of the world's first-of-its-kind
precision mining initiative, utilizing Novamera's technology, is about to begin. The minimal
environmental footprint and non-invasive approach to narrow vein mining are expected to significantly
reduce all-in sustaining costs (AISC). This positions Great Atlantic at the forefront of mining
innovation and as a key player in value creation within Newfoundland's gold sector. As they say -
fortune favors the brave," states
Mr. Anderson, CEO.

The bulk sampling program is being conducted at the gold bearing Jaclyn Main Zone (JMZ), specifically
within an area of high-grade gold diamond drilling intercepts. The bulk sample will total up to 1000 cubic
meters (approximately 2,700 tonnes).

The bulk sampling program is being conducted in the west region of the JMZ. Golden Promise Mines
Inc. completed eight diamond drill holes during September - October of 2024 in the area of the bulk
sampling program. The eight holes were designed to target the JMZ between surface and approximately
100 meters vertical depth. High grade intercepts from this drilling included (core length) (see Company

Three additional close-spaced diamond drill holes were completed during December 2024 and April
2025 in this area of the JMZ in preparation for the bulk sample program, the program managed by
Novamera Inc.
The three drill holes included the use of Novamera's proprietary Guidance Tool,
providing increased data and resource knowledge to define the shape, geometry and continuity
of the vein(s). The Guidance Tool collects data within a 3-4 meters radius of the borehole to
create a high-resolution 3D model, which is then used to calculate the optimal drill trajectory for
