Great Atlantic Begins 2026 Trenching Program at its 100% Owned South Quarry Tungsten Property

Great Atlantic undertakes routine tungsten trenching at South Quarry to advance its critical metal portfolio.

By The Northwire Desk — AI Analysis Oct 14, 2026 · 09:01 GR · 0.07 Great Atlantic Resources Corp.
Executive Summary

Great Atlantic Resources Corp. has commenced an excavator trenching program at its 100% owned South Quarry Tungsten Property in southern Newfoundland. The 2026 program targets two areas of historical tungsten soil/till geochemical anomalies and mineralization in the northern region of the property. Five trenches are planned: three in Area No. 1, near a 2016 trench exposing scheelite mineralization, and two in Area No. 2, near a 2016 trench with quartz veins containing scheelite. Historical data from 2016 and 2022 supports the targets, with grab samples returning up to 3,060 ppm tungsten and till samples showing anomalous values. The release contextualizes tungsten as a strategic and critical metal with supply concentrated in China.

Material Impact

The activity aligns with the company’s stated 2026 exploration plan and does not introduce new financial data, resource estimates, or operational milestones.
