Great Atlantic Resources Begins 2019 Exploration Program On Its 100% Owned South Quarry Tungsten Property, Newfoundland

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 3, 2019 / GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV.GR) (the “Company” or “Great Atlantic”) is pleased to announce it has begun the 2019 exploration program at its 100% owned South Quarry Tungsten Property, located in east-central Newfoundland. The program, consisting of focused prospecting / rock geochemical sampling and ground geophysical surveys, is being conducted in high priority target areas. The Property hosts tungsten mineralization in multiple areas, including pegmatitic veins with high grade tungsten mineralization in its northern region. Previous Great Atlantic grab samples from such veins exceeded 1% WO3.

The 2019 program is focusing on the central - northern regions of the South Quarry Property, exploring for new zones of tungsten mineralization in high priority target areas identified by the Company during previous exploration programs. These are area of anomalous tungsten in bedrock and / or in soil. The program consists of focused prospecting and rock geochemical sampling and ground magnetic and electromagnetic geophysical surveys. The program is being supervised by a Qualified Person.

Tungsten bearing pegmatite veins occur in the northern region of the property including at a quarry referred to as the South Quarry and an adjacent smaller quarry. The veins were first reported in the area of these quarries during the 1980s. Great Atlantic confirmed high-grade tungsten mineralization (scheelite) in veins in rubble and bedrock at the two quarries during 2015 (News Release of November 19, 2015). Eleven rubble grab samples exceeded 5% WO3 (W % x 1.26 equals WO3%). A 20-centimeter long channel sample along a 15-centimeter wide vein in the small quarry returned 2.96% WO3 while a grab sample from a 25-centimeter wide vein in the South Quarry returned 11.94% WO3.

A qualified person verified the 2015 sample data. The qualified person supervised the 2015 sampling. The 2015 samples (and lab-inserted blank, duplicate and standard samples) were analyzed at ALS Minerals in Sudbury, Ontario (ALS Minerals is independent of Great Atlantic Resources). Tungsten analysis was by lithium metaborate fusion followed by acid dissolution and ICP-MS analysis with some samples re-analyzed by XRF.
