[{"type":"text","content":"Great Atlantic Completes 2022 Exploration Program on its 100% Owned South Quarry, Tungsten Property NewfoundlandVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 10, 2022 / GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV:GR) (the \"Company\" or \"Great Atlantic\") is pleased to announce it has completed the 2022 exploration program at its 100% owned South Quarry Tungsten Property, located in east-central Newfoundland. The Company's 2022 exploration program consisted of prospecting and rock geochemical sampling coupled with soil geochemical sampling, which focused on exploration for tungsten and gold mineralization both at and adjacent to areas of known tungsten mineralization and tungsten soil geochemical anomalies. The South Quarry Property consists of seven licences with a total area of 2,950 hectares.The 2022 exploration program of the South Quarry Property was focused on the central as well as northern and southern regions of the property. Exploration of the property in 2022 was guided by results from previous exploration seasons coupled with multiple regional geophysics datasets available for the area surrounding the property. One of these targets in the northern region of the property is based on soil geochemical sampling by the Company during 2015, during which two samples returned anomalous tungsten values of 234 and 402 ppm. During the 2015 field season, Great Atlantic confirmed high-grade tungsten mineralization in the northern region of the property within scheelite-bearing pegmatite veins including eleven grab samples from one of the quarries that exceeded 5% WO3 as well as grab sample from a 25-centimetre wide vein that yielded 11.94% WO3. Tungsten-bearing pegmatite veins were also confirmed by Great Atlantic elsewhere in the northern region during in subsequent exploration programs (see news releases on the Great Atlantic website for results of previous work at the South Quarry Property).The South Quarry Property hosts high grade tungsten mineralization at two adjacent quarries, being confirmed by Great Atlantic during the 2015 exploration program.A total of 56 rock samples as well as 58 soil samples were collected at the South Quarry Property during the 2022 exploration program. The rock samples collected during the 2022 program were submitted to Eastern Analytical Ltd. and ALS Canada Ltd, for gold assay and multi-element analysis. The ...
