Great Atlantic Begins Targeted Trenching Program at 100% Owned Golden Promise Property

Central Newfoundland

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 19, 2026) - GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV: GR) (the "Company" or "Great Atlantic") is pleased to an announce its wholly-owned subsidiary, Golden Promise Mines Inc. ("Golden Promise Mines"), has commenced a targeted trenching program at the Company's 100% owned Golden Promise Property, located in central Newfoundland. Trenching has now begun in the southwest region of the property, testing an area of gold and multi-element soil geochemical anomalies.

"We are excited to begin trenching at the Golden Promise Property as part of our broader exploration program," states Anderson, CEO of Great Atlantic. "This trenching program is designed to further improve our understanding of the scale of mineralization beneath us, as we look to expand priority gold bearing zones across the property. We believe Golden Promise continues to demonstrate exciting exploration potential and we are working towards generating additional catalysts in the coming months ahead."

Three trenches are planned during the current program within Licence 036105M in the area of the soil geochemical anomalies. The multi-element soil geochemical anomalies were identified by Golden Promise Mines during 2024 along a northeast — southwest reconnaissance soil sampling traverse. Five consecutive soil samples along this traverse over a total length of approximately 150 metres returned anomalous gold values of 7 parts per billion (ppb), 44 ppb, 53 ppb, 83 ppb and 9 ppb gold. Some of these samples returned anomalous values for silver (up to 3.9 parts per million (ppm)), copper (up to 121 ppm), molybdenum (up to 44 ppm), antimony (up to 28 ppm), zinc (up to 225 ppm), arsenic (up to 172 ppm) and / or vanadium (up to 920 ppm).

The 2024 soil samples were analyzed by Eastern Analytical Ltd. for gold by Fire Assay — and multi-element by four acid digestion and ICP-OES analysis.

Trench lengths of up to approximately 90 - 125 metres are planned for these three northwest - southeast orientated trenches. The trenches are planned approximately perpendicular to the reported bedrock geology contacts in this area between the Lawrence Harbour Formation and Stanley Waters Formation (Rogers et al., 2005), both part of the Victoria Lake Supergroup. Some gold bearing quartz veins / quartz vein systems within the Golden Promise Property occur near the contacts of these two formations.
