VANCOUVER, British Columbia – October 26, 2016 – Great Atlantic Resources Corp. (TSXV: GR) (the “Company” or “Great Atlantic”) is pleased to announce it has entered into a letter of intent (“LOI”) with Unity Resources Inc. (“Unity”), whereby Great Atlantic and Unity will negotiate and settle the terms of a definitive option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) that will provide Great Atlantic with an option (the “Option”) to acquire a 100% interest in Unity’s right, title and interest in and to the mineral claims compromising three mineral exploration and development projects known as the “Southern Golden Promise Project”, the “Pilley’s Mine Project”and the “Point Leamington Property”, all located in central Newfoundland (collectively, the “Property”) (the “Transaction”).

The Option will be exercisable by Great Atlantic making certain cash option payments and share option payments of common shares in the capital of Great Atlantic to Unity.

In the event that Great Atlantic exercises the Option and acquires a 100% right, title and interest in and to the Property, Unity will thereafter be entitled to a 3% net smelter returns royalty (the “Royalty”) to be determined and paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Option Agreement, payable upon the commencement of commercial production. Great Atlantic will be entitled to buy down up to 2% of the Royalty at any time in consideration for the payment of $500,000 to Unity for each 1%.

 

South Golden Promise:

The project is centred upon the Linda/Snow White Showing. Trenching has exposed sulphide-bearing quartz veining over a length of 170m and width of up to 5m. Samples include 105.28 g/t Au and 41.66 g/t Au. Best diamond drill result consists of 19.5 g/t Au over 1.15m including 63.3 g/t Au over 0.35m. Gold mineralization exhibits a nugget effect.

The Linda/Snow White Showing is located 22km southwest of Jaclyn/Golden Promise Deposit, also under option with Great Atlantic (NR May-31-2016) with a 43-101 compliant inferred resource of 921,000 tonnes grading 3.02 g/t Au. The mineralizing style is similar to that observed at the Linda/Snow White Showing.

An additional 86 claims were staked adjacent to the showing to cover an 8000ppb Au-in-soil sample where subsequent trenching discovered quartz vein float within the till that contained visible gold. A further 16 claims in the area cover an area of quartz veining cutting carbonatized gabbro that returned grab samples of 2.62 g/t Au and 10.04 g/t Au.

“The Company cautions that past results or discoveries on proximate land are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the South Golden Promise property or the newly staked ground”

Pilley’s Island:

A past producing mine with an historic estimate reserve of  1.159 million tonnes grading 1.23% Cu          ( Grimley, 1968) or 627,373 tons at 2.34% Cu and 0.01 oz/ton (Walker, 1976). The volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit is analogous to Kuroko/Buchans style mineralization.

Other areas of interest on the property include:

A massive sulphide intersection from a vertical diamond drill hole that assayed 12.45% Zn, 5.5% Pb, 0.94% Cu and 0.102 oz/ton Au over 2.5m at a depth of 50.8m to 53.2m.

The Bull Road Showing with an historic estimate of approximately 200,000 tons with main trench assays of 12.4% Zn, 3.8% Cu, 0.9% Pb, 22 g/t Ag over 4.6m (Walker, 1976).

The Fragmental Zone with a drill intersection of 7.3% Zn, 1.4% cu, 0.7% Pb, 20 g/t Ag over 5.5m.

Several other massive pyrite showings are also located on the property.

 

 

Point Leamington:

This property surrounds most of the mining lease held by Callinex Mines Inc.,  which contains a volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit with a 43-101 inferred mineral resource of 14.1 Mt grading 1.86% Zn, 0.42 % Cu, 1.07 g/t Au and 17.12 g/t Ag.

“The Company cautions that past results or discoveries on proximate land are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the Point Leamington property”
