Great Atlantic begins 2026 exploration at Glenelg

GR · Price

Executive Summary

  • Great Atlantic Resources Corp. is commencing its 2026 exploration program at the Glenelg gold-antimony-vanadium property in southwestern New Brunswick.
  • The program focuses on three specific target areas to define sites for trenching and/or diamond drilling, leveraging previous discoveries of gold, high-grade antimony, lithium, and vanadium.
  • Significant historical assay results include high-grade antimony values up to 23.4% and anomalous gold values up to 1.72 g/t, alongside lithium and vanadium anomalies.

Key Details

  • Program Scope: The 2026 program involves focused prospecting, rock/soil geochemical sampling, geological mapping, and geophysical surveys (magnetic and electromagnetic) across three target areas.
  • South-Central Region:
    • Johnson Lake Occurrence: Gold-bearing outcrop with rock samples from 2023-2025 yielding gold values of 0.50 g/t, 0.46 g/t, and 0.73 g/t.
    • Antimony Vein: Discovered in 2022, this quartz-carbonate-stibnite vein (up to 0.6m wide) returned high-grade antimony samples:
      • 23.4% Sb (2022 grab sample, 1.83 kg)
      • 13.75% Sb (2023 grab sample, 6.36 kg)
      • 13.70% Sb (2023 grab sample, 4.94 kg)
      • 2.98% Sb (2023 grab sample, 6.34 kg)
      • 0.36% Sb (2023 grab sample, 6.81 kg)
    • Gold Fault Zone: Discovered in 2025, approx. 55m southwest of the antimony vein. A grab sample returned 1.72 g/t Au, along with anomalous Ag (5.9 g/t), Bi (3,290 ppm), Co (691 ppm), and Cu (635 ppm).
    • Next Steps: Management has identified potential sites for trenching/diamond drilling in this area; 2026 work aims to further define these sites and evaluate others (e.g., Chris Wren Lake North/South).
  • North-Central Region:
    • Lithium Anomalies: 2023 samples from glacial float/outcrop returned 820 ppm and 920 ppm lithium.
    • Gold Potential: 2024 samples returned anomalous gold values of 0.159 g/t (outcrop) and 0.104 g/t (subcrop).
    • Next Steps: Grid-level soil sampling, prospecting, and geophysical surveys to determine drilling targets.
  • Southeast Region:
    • Vanadium: Confirmed mineralization from 2018 with a grab sample returning 0.33% V2O5.
    • Next Steps: Focused prospecting and rock sampling for vanadium.
  • Technical Analysis:
    • Gold analysis: Fire assay-AA.
    • Antimony analysis: XRF (following lithium borate fusion).
    • Lithium analysis: Four-acid digestion -- ICP-AES.
    • Vanadium analysis: XRF fusion.
    • Laboratory: ALS Canada Ltd.
    • Qualified Person: David Martin, PGeo.
  • Context: The property borders the Clarence Stream project of Galway Metals Inc., which reported NI 43-101 resources of 922,000 oz indicated gold and 1.33 million oz inferred gold.
