[{"type":"text","content":"Great Atlantic Resources Begins 2019 Exploration Program At Its 100% Owned Keymet Base Metal - Precious Metal Property, Northeast New BrunswickVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 2, 2019 / GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV:GR) (the \"Company\" or \"Great Atlantic\") is pleased to announce it has begun the 2019 exploration program at its Keymet Base Metal - Precious Metal Property, located near Bathurst in northeast New Brunswick. The program consists of ground geophysical surveys and prospecting - rock geochemical sampling within the northwest region of the property, northwest of the historic Keymet Mine.The 2019 program is being conducted west of the area of the Company's 2015-2018 diamond drilling programs, which intersected base metal - precious metal mineralization at the Elmtree 12 vein system. The 2015-2018 drilling programs intersected high-grade zinc, copper and silver vein type mineralization and intervals of gold mineralization (see the Company's News Releases of February 23, 2016, December 20, 2017, March 2, 2018 and January 18, 2019). These intersections include (core length):Ky-15-4: 10.74% Zn Eq over 4.28 MKy-17-6: 17.44% Zn Eq over 4.95 MKy-17-6: 0.64 g/t Au over 19.96 M Ky-17-8: 43.64% Zn Eq over 1.27 M Ky-18-14: 8.63 Zn Eq over 34.30 MThe 2019 exploration program is being conducted within the northwest region of the Keymet Property, west of the area of 2016-2018 drilling programs. Historical reports indicate base metal and silver mineralization, base metal geochemical anomalies and electromagnetic anomalies in general area of the 2019 program. The current program includes magnetic and electromagnetic geophysics surveys and focused prospecting and rock geochemical sampling. Rock samples will be submitted to a certified laboratory for multi-element analysis including gold, silver, zinc, copper and lead.Historic Keymet Mine (1950s)The Company's focus since acquiring the Keymet Property has been the northwest region of the property in the area of reported base metal - precious metal bearing veins with most work in the area of the Elmtree 12 base metal - silver bearing vein system. The Company intersected zinc, copper, lead and silver bearing veins and low-grade gold mineralization during 2015-2018 diamond drilling programs at the Elmtree 12 vein system, located northwest of the historic Keymet Mine.
