The 2024 program at Golden Trust consists of prospecting and rock – soil geochemical sampling. Work is planned in areas not previously explored by the Company and in areas of gold soil anomalies identified by the Company during 2020 and 2022 exploration programs.
Great Atlantic identified gold soil geochemical anomalies during 2020 and 2022 reconnaissance level soil sampling programs in multiple areas within the northern region of the Golden Trust Property. Analytical high values for these samples included 52 parts per billion (ppb) gold and 72 ppb gold, both samples within an approximately 350 meters long target area in the northwest region of the property (see Company news releases of January 27, 2021, and February 17, 2023).
The 2024 program will include prospecting and rock – soil geochemical sampling in the northern region of the property, the objectives to further define target areas for future gold exploration and locate sources of gold soil anomalies in this region of the property; and reconnaissance level prospecting and rock geochemical sampling +/- soil geochemical sampling to identify target areas in other regions of the property.

The Golden Trust Property (2,400 hectares) is relatively under-explored. Great Atlantic management have not found any reports of diamond drilling within the property.
Key points for the Golden Trust Property include:
Located 1 km north of the Valentine Gold Mine of Calibre Mining Corp. and approximately 44 km southwest of Great Atlantic's flagship Golden Promise Property.
Located within the prospective Victoria Lake Supergroup which hosts numerous epigenetic gold & volcanogenic massive sulfide occurrences
Located within the Exploits Subzone of the Dunnage Zone and east of a major (Appalachian-scale) collisional boundary, and suture zone.
Government till samples (2008) returned elevated to anomalous values for gold in various regions of the Golden Trust Property.
Readers are warned that mineralization at the Valentine Gold Mine and Golden Promise Property and elsewhere within the Exploits Subzone is not necessarily indicative of mineralization within the Golden Trust Property.
The 2020 and 2022 soil samples referred to in this news release were analyzed by Eastern Analytical Ltd. The samples were analyzed for gold by fire assay – atomic absorption (AA) and for 34 elements by four acid – ICP-OES. Great Atlantic is independent of Eastern Analytical Ltd. The 2020 and 2022 exploration programs at Golden Trust were supervised by a Qualified Peron.
