(TSXV.GR) (the \"Company\" or \"Great Atlantic\") is pleased to announce it has received positive analytical results for soil samples collected during 2022 at its 100% owned South Quarry Tungsten Property, located in east-central Newfoundland.Great Atlantic Team Prospecting at South Quarry during 2022Ten soil samples from two adjacent sample lines in the central region of the property returned anomalous tungsten values in the 21.9 - 79.0 parts per million (ppm) range, confirming a new target area for tungsten exploration approximately 300 meters by 200 to 400 meters.The 2022 soil geochemical sampling included sampling within the central region of the property, south of two quarries which host veins containing high-grade tungsten mineralization. Soil sampling was conducted along three east-west reconnaissance soil lines in this central region using hand-held augers. Sample spacing along the three lines was generally approximately 50 meters and approximately 100 meters in a few locations. Thirty-two total soil samples were collected along these lines.Ten samples from the central and northern lines returned anomalous tungsten values in the 21.9 - 79.0 ppm range defining a new target area for tungsten exploration. These two sample lines are approximately 300 meters apart. The anomalous samples define a target area approximately 300 meters by approximately 200-400 meters. Company management are not aware of any diamond drilling in this central region.Six of nine samples along an approximately 400-meters long section of the central sample line returned anomalous tungsten values in the 21.9 - 79.0 ppm range.Four consecutive samples along an approximately 200-meters long section of the northern sample line returned anomalous tungsten values in the 22.4 - 57.3 ppm range.The northern-most soil line in this central region is located approximately 500 meters south of the southern-most quarry which hosts veins with high-grade tungsten mineralization. During the 2015 field season, Great Atlantic confirmed high-grade tungsten mineralization in this quarry and an adjacent quarry within scheelite-bearing pegmatite...
