[{"type":"text","content":"Great Atlantic Drilling Intersects 6.74% Copper, 34.5 G/T Silver and .6 G/T Gold over .4 Meters as well Nickel and Cobalt also Anomalous Mascarene Property New BrunswickVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 9, 2022 / GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV.GR) (the \"Company\" or \"Great Atlantic\") is pleased to announce it has received gold assays and multi-element analyses for drill core samples from the 2022 drilling program at the Mascarene Property, located in southern New Brunswick. The program was conducted in the southern region of the property at a reported copper - nickel - cobalt occurrence.The results confirm copper bearing veins and anomalous levels of gold, silver, cobalt and / or nickel adjacent to a prominent magnetic high trend. This includes a 0.40-meter core length sample in drill hole MA-22-5 which returned 6.74% copper, 0.627 grams / tonne (g/t) gold and 34.5 g/t silver.Semi-massive sulfides in quartz vein in drill hole MA-22-5 (6.74% copper, 0.627 g/t gold and 34.5 g/t silver over 0.40 meters core length).The 2022 drilling program consisted of five drill holes (MA-22-5 to MA-22-9) totalling 787 meters. The drilling was conducted within the southern region of the Mascarene Property at the Wheal Louisiana copper - nickel - cobalt mineral occurrence. The drilling program tested areas of reported copper soil geochemical anomalies and copper and gold bearing rubble near historic pits / shafts. This was the Great Atlantic's maiden drill program for the southern region of the property.Quartz and / or carbonate veins with chalcopyrite (+/- pyrite and pyrrhotite) were intersected in four drill holes (MA-22-5, MA-22-6, MA-22-7 and MA-22-9). Of note copper mineralization in hole MA-22-9 is within 10 meters of surface. Company management are interpreting the mineralized veins intersected in holes MA-22-5 and MA-22-9 as separate veins / vein systems. Significant intercepts (core length) are as follows:Drill Hole No.From (m)To (m)Length (m)Au (g/t)Ag (g/t)Cu (%)Cu (ppm)Co (ppm)Ni (ppm)MA-22-5141.90142.300.400.62734.56.74 194212MA-22-629.6030.570.970.0522.7 59404917MA-22-92.433.370.940.0130.5 3290139221MA-22-94.675.230.56<0.005<0.5 2040268165MA-22-911.0512.030.980.0453.82.07 154143Near-surface quartz - carbonate veined zone with sulfides in MA-22-9 (includes 2.07% copper over 0.98 meters core length)The true widths of t...
