(TSXV:GR) (the \"Company\" or \"Great Atlantic\") is pleased to announce it has received analytical results for 2019 rock samples collected at the Southwest Golden Promise Property, located in the central Newfoundland gold belt. The highlight was a quartz vein material sample which returned 3.1 grams per tonne (g/t) gold. The Southwest Golden Promise Property is centered approximately 4 kilometers west of the southern-most region of the Company's Golden Promise Property. Gold soil anomalies (up to 7.6 g/t Au) and gold-bearing quartz float (up to 6.7 g/t) have been previously reported within the Southwest Golden Promise Property. Great Atlantic conducted a brief prospecting and rock sampling program during the fall of 2019 within the Southwest Golden Promise Property. Eight rock grab samples were collected during the program from outcrop and float. These included quartz vein material and sedimentary and volcanic rocks with +/- pyrite and quartz veins. The samples were submitted to Eastern Analytical for gold and multi-element analysis. A sample of multiple pieces of quartz vein rubble at one location returned 3.14 g/t gold. Five additional samples returned anomalous values for gold in the 8-32 parts per billion (ppb) range.The 2019 program was conducted in an area of reported gold soil anomalies and reported gold bearing quartz float samples. Historic highlights (reported 2008-2009 work) for this area include:Historic (2008) approximately 260-meter long northeast-southwest gold soil anomalous trend including one reported sample of 7,667 ppb gold (7.6 g/t gold).Historic (2009) quartz float samples returning 6.78 & 2.44 g/t gold within anomalous soil trend.Reported visible gold in historic panned soil samples.The 2019 exploration program at the Southwest Golden Promise Property was managed by a Qualified Person. Rock samples bags were sealed and stored at a secure facility near Grand Falls - Windsor. A Qualified Person delivered the samples to Eastern Analytical Ltd. The samples were analyzed for gold by Fire Assay - Atomic Absorption and for 34 elements by Four Acid - ICP-OES. Eastern Analytical included analysis of blank and standard samples.Great Atlantic's G...
