"We are pleased to announce the successful completion of our trenching program at the Golden Promise Gold Property. The preliminary findings are promising, and we are eagerly awaiting the analytical results of the rock samples. Our commitment to exploring and developing mineral assets in Atlantic Canada remains steadfast, and this program represents a significant step forward in unlocking the potential of our Golden Promise Gold Property." - Christopher R.

An excavator completed Trenches No. 1 and 2, exposing bedrock. A third small trench was hand trenched exposing bedrock (this trench could not be accessed by the excavator).

Bedrock in both excavated trenches has been geologically mapped and rock samples have been collected, both from boulders in the glacial till and from exposed bedrock in the two trenches. Sulfide mineralization was noted in all 13 samples collected to date, consisting mainly of pyrite. Copper mineralization in the form of chalcopyrite +/- malachite was noted in some samples.

The rock samples have been submitted to Eastern Analytical Ltd. for gold and multi-element analysis. The analytical results are pending as of the date of this news release.

The trenches are within Mineral Licence No. 036105M. Trenches No. 1 and 2 tested areas of gold soil anomalies up to 77 parts per billion (ppb) gold. These two trenches also tested areas of rock samples (outcrop and glacial float boulders) which yielded anomalous gold values including 0.44, 0.57 and 1.04 grams / tonne gold. The soil and rock samples were collected by Great Atlantic during 2018-2023 programs (see Company news releases for exploration is this region).
