(TSXV: GR) (the \"Company\" or \"Great Atlantic\") is pleased to announce it has received analytical results for the first five 2024 rock samples collected at its 100% owned Pilley's Island Base Metal - Precious Metal Property, located in north-central Newfoundland. Semi-massive to massive sulfides in outcrop (4.36% zinc in outcrop grab sample)To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/3027/224553_f4497be2f4658910_002full.jpgFour samples (outcrop and subcrop) from one site in the northern region of the property contain semi-massive to massive sulfide mineralization. These samples yielded anomalous – highly anomalous values for gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc including up to 1.32 grams / tonne (g/t) gold, 4.36% zinc, 0.61% lead and 6499 parts per million (ppm) copper. This is a new target area for Great Atlantic.The semi-massive and massive sulfides occur in lenses or fragments in an outcrop within the northern region of the property near the reported location of the Fragmental Zone zinc - lead - copper mineral occurrence (Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Industry, Energy and Technology, Mineral Occurrence Database System). The sulfide mineralization consists mainly of pyrite. Galena (lead sulfide) was observed by field personnel in a few samples. The lenses or fragments with semi-massive to massive sulfides in the outcrop were measured by Great Atlantic personnel up to approximately 0.7 meters long by up to 0.3 meters wide.The five rock samples returned the following results for gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc: SampleOutcrop /AuAg Cu Pb PbZn ZnNumberSubcropG/T G/Tppmppm%ppm%23895-24-01Outcrop0.71311.51346>22000.24>22001.2523895-24-02Outcrop0.91619.65965>22000.32>22000.5523895-24-03Outcrop0.4645.616801168>22004.3623895-24-04Outcrop0.0620.521915945223895-24-05Subcrop1.32514.26499>22000.61>22003.11 The focus of the 2024 program at Pilley's Island is exploration for base metal and precious metal bearing volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits.
