(TSXV: GR) (the \"Company\" or \"Great Atlantic\") is pleased to announce plans for 2026 at its 100% owned Keymet Precious - Base Metal Project, located in northeast New Brunswick. The 2026 program will focus on the northwest region of the Keymet Property which hosts multiple polymetallic veins (silver, copper, zinc and lead bearing) including:Elmtree Silver Mine occurrence (late 19th century workings)Keymet Silver Mine (mid 1950s commercial silver-lead-zinc-copper production)Elmtree 12 vein system (periodic Great Atlantic drilling during 2015-2021 intersected multiple high-grade silver, copper and / or zinc veins including 1,158 grams / tonne (g/t) silver, 9.18% copper and 9.04% zinc over 3.00 meters core length)Ky-18-14 (1,158 g/t Ag, 9.19% Cu and 9.04% Zn over 3.00 meters core length)To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/3027/285187_a10a1017b4a649e8_002full.jpgThe Keymet Project consists of two mineral claims (claim nos. 4283 and 5643) covering a total area of approximately 3,340 hectares, located approximately 20 kilometers northwest of Bathurst.Great Atlantic is currently planning an exploration program within the northwest region of the Keymet Property during 2026 consisting of prospecting, rock - soil geochemical sampling, geophysical surveys (induced polarization / resistivity and magnetic), multiple trenching and 2,500 metres diamond drilling. The work will be focused mainly within the region extending northwest from the past producing Keymet Silver Mine to the areas of the Elmtree Silver Mine occurrence and the Elmtree 12 occurrence. Great Atlantic is currently finalizing these plans and will submit permit applications for line-cutting, excavator trenching and diamond drilling to the New Brunswick government in February. The primary objectives of this work include:Test the extension of the polymetallic vein system northwest of the Keymet Silver MineTest the Elmtree 12 polymetallic vein system along strike and deeper (testing the vein system deeper than 150 meters vertical depth - most drill ...
