Great Atlantic Resources Corp. has received analytical results from 2025 rock samples confirming gold and copper mineralization in bedrock within the southwest region of its 100% owned Golden Promise Property in central Newfoundland.

The analytical results come from three additional bedrock grab samples collected along an approximately four-metre-long section of a narrow mineralized zone initially discovered during a 2024 trenching program. Sample 36105-25-16 returned 1,008 parts per billion gold, equivalent to 1.008 grams per tonne, alongside 155 parts per million copper. Sample 36105-25-47 yielded 807 parts per billion gold, or 0.807 grams per tonne, together with greater than 10,000 parts per million copper, representing over 1% copper, and more than 6 parts per million silver. A third sample, 36105-25-48, returned 443 parts per billion gold, or 0.443 grams per tonne, and 680 parts per million copper. An additional sample from a piece of subcrop directly on top of the bedrock exposure returned 370 parts per billion gold, equating to 0.370 grams per tonne.

The mineralization sits within a narrow sulfide-bearing zone containing pyrite and chalcopyrite, accompanied by quartz veining, silicification, and shearing. The zone measures up to 0.4 metres wide in the bedrock exposure, trends northeast-southwest, and is subvertical. While the initial discovery trench was backfilled, the bedrock exposure containing the mineralized zone extends to surface and remains exposed. The zone has not yet been traced along its projected strike.

The Golden Promise Property is held by Great Atlantic's wholly-owned subsidiary, Golden Promise Mines Inc., and serves as the largest and most advanced of seven central Newfoundland gold properties owned by the subsidiary. During previous 2024 exploration across the property, eleven of thirteen rock samples collected across two trench sites returned anomalous gold values exceeding 0.10 grams per tonne.

Regionally, other explorers are actively testing gold targets within the surrounding district, where Pirate Gold Corp. intersected 30.6 g/t gold over 1.35 metres at its Moosehead zone on 28 August 2026, targeting the same gold commodity.

Golden Promise Mines is planning follow-up work in the area of the newly sampled mineralized zone, including geophysical surveys and additional trenching.
