(TSXV: GR) (the \"Company\" or \"Great Atlantic\") is pleased to announce it has acquired 100% interest (through a purchase agreement) in the Nashwaak Lake Tungsten Property, located in western New Brunswick. The property is located approximately three kilometers northwest of the Sisson Project (tungsten and molybdenum project) of Northcliff Resources Ltd.Tungsten mineralization is reported at the Nashwaak Lake Property including reported 0.443% tungsten (0.558% WO3) over 0.96 meters core length in a 2009 diamond drill hole and 2.03% tungsten (2.55% WO3) for a 2022 rock sample.Nashwaak Lake PropertyTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/3027/241376_542092ad54ee8b2c_002full.jpgThe Nashwaak Lake Property consists of one mineral claim covering an area of approximately 222 hectares. Great Atlantic's management have compiled historical exploration information for the area of the property from Reports of Work on file with the New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development. These reports document soil and prospecting rock / drill core samples anomalous for tungsten within the area of the Nashwaak Lake Property. Reported highlights include:Three 2009 rock samples (from glacial float) collected by Geodex Minerals Ltd. were reported to exceed 2,000 parts per million (ppm) tungsten with up to 2,140 ppm tungsten (0.214% W or 0.27% WO3) (Martin, 2010).Two 2009 diamond drill holes by Geodex Minerals Ltd. were reported to intersect 3,064 ppm tungsten (0.306% W or 0.38% WO3) over 1.55 meters core length and 4,430 ppm tungsten (0.443% W or 0.55% WO3) over 0.96 meters core length (Martin, 2010). These near-surface intercepts are reported to be within altered granite. A 2016 soil sample collected by Dave Stevens was reported to return a highly anomalous value of 214 ppm tungsten (Steven, 2016).A 2017 rock sample collected by Dave Stevens was reported to return 8,030 ppm tungsten (0.803% W or 1.01% WO3) (Stevens, 2018). The Report of Work indicates this sample to have been collected from glacial float.Great Atlantic recently obtained sample data...
