The 2019 program focused on the central - northern regions of the South Quarry Property, exploring for new zones of tungsten mineralization. The program consisted of focused prospecting and rock geochemical sampling and ground magnetic and electromagnetic geophysical surveys. Tungsten mineralization (scheelite) was located during the program within a new target area in the northern region of the property, northeast of the South Quarry, which was recently expanded from 1,350 to 1,925 hectares. Scheelite-bearing quartz-dominant veins were located within bedrock at a historic trench/stripped area in this new target area.
Bedrock grab samples were collected from this site which will be submitted to a certified laboratory for tungsten analysis. During 2015, Great Atlantic confirmed high-grade tungsten mineralization in veins, in rubble, and bedrock at the two quarries, including eleven rubble grab samples which exceeded 5% tungsten oxide. A 20 centimetre long channel sample along a 15 centimetre wide vein in the small quarry returned 2.96% tungsten oxide, while a grab sample from a 0.25 meter wide vein in the South Quarry returned 11.94% tungsten oxide, which was verified by a qualified person.
