Great Atlantic Identifies Gold Mineralization Along 135 Metre Corridor at Its 100% Owned Golden Promise Property

Great Atlantic’s incremental trenching results at the Golden Promise deposit fail to offset the company’s severe cash crunch.

Executive Summary

Great Atlantic Resources Corp. announced gold assay results from its 2025 trenching program at the 100% owned Golden Promise Property in central Newfoundland. Five grab samples from Trench No. 2 returned gold values ranging from 0.531 g/t to 1.004 g/t, confirming sporadic mineralization along a 135-meter corridor.

Additional anomalous values were reported from Trenches 1, 3, and 4, with management planning further geophysical surveys and trenching to prepare for a future diamond drilling program. This release follows a series of exploration updates throughout 2026, including the commencement of Phase II trenching in June and completion of Phase I in early June.

Material Impact

Great Atlantic Resources Corp. (GR) reported gold grades ranging from 0.5 to 1.0 g/t, figures that are sub-economic for bulk mining and typical of early-stage vein exploration requiring further definition. The news represents incremental, expected exploration progress rather than a transformative discovery. The release does not alter the company's financial trajectory or near-term operational outlook. While positive for the exploration narrative, it does not constitute a market-moving event given the company's broader financial constraints and the incremental nature of the assay results.
