CEO.CA Chairman's Briefing

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 5, 2024) - GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV: GR) (the "Company" or "Great Atlantic") is pleased to announce its wholly owned subsidiary, Golden Promise Mines Inc., plans to begin a diamond drilling program during the second week of September at its Golden Promise Gold Property, located in the central Newfoundland. Golden Promise Mines Inc. has awarded the drill contract to MCL Drilling from Deer Lake, NL.

The fully funded drill program (up to nine drill holes and estimated 900 total meters) will be conducted at the gold-bearing Jaclyn Main Zone (JMZ) in the area of a planned bulk sample.

The drilling program will be conducted with partner Novamera Inc. and will include Novamera's proprietary Guidance Technology, providing increased data and resource knowledge to define the shape, geometry and continuity of the vein. The drilling is planned for the area of a planned bulk sample, also being fully funded.

The objective of the 2024 diamond drilling program is to further define gold bearing quartz veins in one part of the JMZ in preparation for extraction of the bulk sample. The drilling program will be conducted within the west region of the JMZ targeting gold bearing veins to approximately 100 meters vertical depth.

Great Atlantic confirmed high-grade gold in quartz veins in the west region of the JMZ during 2019 and 2021 diamond drilling programs, including near surface high grade intercepts (core length) of 113.07 grams / tonne (g/t) gold over 0.55 meters and 61.35 g/t gold over 2.04 meters (see Company news releases for results of 2019 and 2021 diamond drilling programs).

The planned approximately 2700 tonne bulk sample at the JMZ is to be extracted after diamond drilling and bulk sampling approval using a precision mining method, powered by Novamera's proprietary Surgical Mining technologies. The transformative new mining method leverages hardware, software, AI and ML paired with conventional drilling equipment to extract ore at a fraction of the cost of conventional mining methods.

The 2024 diamond drilling and subsequent bulk sample work at the JMZ is being funded in part by co-investment from DIGITAL, Canada's Global Innovation Cluster for digital technologies, as part of a larger project that aims to support data-driven and digital solutions within the mining sector.

Great Atlantic reported a National Instrument 43-101 compliant inferred resource estimate during late 2018 for the Jaclyn Main Zone of 357,500 tonnes at 10.4 g/t gold (119,900 ounces of gold - uncapped) (see Company News Release of December 6, 2018; and Sedar-filed National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on the Golden Promise Property, Central Newfoundland (revised), dated December 4, 2018 by Mr. Greg Z. Mosher, M.Sc. App., P.Geo., and Mr. Larry Pilgrim, B.Sc., P.Geo.). The reported inferred mineral resource estimate for the Jaclyn Main Zone is as follows:

Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.
There is no certainty that all or any part of the Mineral Resources estimated will be converted into Mineral Reserves.
Mineral resource tonnage and contained metal have been rounded to reflect the accuracy of the estimate, and numbers may not add due to rounding.
Mineral resource tonnage and grades are reported as undiluted.
Contained Au ounces are in-situ and do not include recovery losses.
