GREAT ATLANTIC BEGINS TARGETED TRENCHING PROGRAM AT 100% OWNED GOLDEN PROMISE PROPERTY

Great Atlantic Resources Corp.'s wholly owned subsidiary, Golden Promise Mines Inc., has commenced a targeted trenching program at the company's 100-per-cent-owned Golden Promise property, located in central Newfoundland. Trenching has now begun in the southwest region of the property, testing an area of gold and multielement soil geochemical anomalies.

"We are excited to begin trenching at the Golden Promise property as part of our broader exploration program," states Christopher Anderson, chief executive officer of Great Atlantic. "This trenching program is designed to further improve our understanding of the scale of mineralization beneath us, as we look to expand priority gold bearing zones across the property. We believe Golden Promise continues to demonstrate exciting exploration potential and we are working towards generating additional catalysts in the coming months ahead."

Three trenches are planned during the current program within licence 036105M in the area of the soil geochemical anomalies. The multielement soil geochemical anomalies were identified by Golden Promise Mines during 2024 along a northeast-southwest reconnaissance soil sampling traverse. Five consecutive soil samples along this traverse over a total length of approximately 150 metres returned anomalous gold values of seven parts per billion (ppb), 44 ppb, 53 ppb, 83 ppb and nine ppb gold. Some of these samples returned anomalous values for silver (up to 3.9 parts per million (ppm)), copper (up to 121 ppm), molybdenum (up to 44 ppm), antimony (up to 28 ppm), zinc (up to 225 ppm), arsenic (up to 172 ppm) and/or vanadium (up to 920 ppm).

The 2024 soil samples were analyzed by Eastern Analytical Ltd. for gold by fire assay and multielement by four-acid digestion and ICP-OES (inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy) analysis.

Trench lengths of up to approximately 90 to 125 metres are planned for these three northwest-southeast-orientated trenches. The trenches are planned approximately perpendicular to the reported bedrock geology contacts in this area between the Lawrence Harbour formation and Stanley Waters formation (Rogers et al., 2005), both part of the Victoria Lake supergroup. Some gold-bearing quartz veins/quartz vein systems within the Golden Promise property occur near the contacts of these two formations.

The Golden Promise property hosts gold bearing quartz veins in various regions of the property, including the Jaclyn zone quartz vein systems, Shawn's Shot quartz vein, Otter Brook occurrence, Linda/Snow White quartz vein system and the Gabbro zone occurrence. The three planned trenches in licence 036105M will be excavated approximately five kilometres northeast of Linda/Snow White gold-bearing quartz vein system.

The Golden Promise property is located within the Exploits subzone of the Newfoundland Dunnage zone. It is located approximately 50 kilometres northeast of the Valentine gold mine of Equinox Gold Corp., which is also located within the Exploits subzone. The Golden Promise property is the largest and most advanced of seven central Newfoundland gold properties owned by Golden Promise Mines. One of these properties (Golden Trust) is located within one kilometre of the Valentine gold mine of Equinox Gold Corp. Readers are warned that mineralization at the Valentine gold mine is not necessarily indicative of mineralization at the Golden Promise property or any of the other central Newfoundland gold properties of Golden Promise Mines.

Please see the company's website for news releases reporting previous work on the Golden Promise property. Previous 2017 to 2025 programs at Golden Promise were supervised by a qualified person.
