VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 1, 2019 / GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV:GR) (the "Company" or "Great Atlantic") is pleased to announce it has acquired, through staking, the Golden Trust Property, located in the central Newfoundland gold belt and 1 kilometer north of the Valentine Lake Gold Camp of Marathon Gold Corp.

• Within the prospective Victoria Lake Supergroup which hosts numerous epigenetic gold & volcanogenic massive sulfide occurrences (including Duck Pond VMS deposit).

• Within the Exploits Subzone of the Dunnage Zone and east of the Red Indian Line (RIL), 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.

The Golden Trust Property occurs within an under-explored area of the Newfoundland central gold belt. Company management have been unable to locate any reports of historic diamond drilling within the property. Till geochemical sampling conducted by the Newfoundland Department of Natural Resources in 2008 included a small number of wide-spaced samples within the Golden Trust Property. Samples from various regions of the property returned elevated to anomalous values for gold including in the 5-9 parts per billion range.

The southern boundary of the property is located 1 kilometer north of the northeast region of the Valentine Lake Gold Camp of Marathon Gold Corp. (TSXV:MOZ). As reported on Marathon's website, the Valentine Lake Gold Camp currently hosts four near-surface, mainly pit-shell constrained, deposits with measured and indicated resources totaling 2,691,400 oz. of gold at 1.85 g/t gold and inferred resources totalling 1,531,600 oz. of gold at 1.77 g/t. The Golden Trust Property is located approximately 44 kilometers southwest of Great Atlantic's Golden Promise Gold Property which hosts multiple gold bearing quartz vein systems.

The Company's Golden Trust and Golden Promise Properties and the Valentine Lake Gold Camp of Marathon Gold Corp. all occur within the Exploits Subzone of the Dunnage Zone. The Red Indian Line (RIL), a major (Appalachian-scale) collisional boundary, and suture zone, forms the western boundary of the Exploits Subzone.

The Golden Trust Property occurs within the Victoria Lake Supergroup (VLSG), a volcano-sedimentary terrane within the Exploits Subzone. The VLSG hosts numerous volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) and epigenetic gold occurrences. The most significant of the VMS deposits within the VLSG is the Duck Pond deposit (zinc, lead, copper, silver and gold), located approximately 31 kilometers northeast of the Golden Trust Property.
