Great Atlantic Expands Glenelg Vanadium Property Threefold Southwest New Brunswick

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 30, 2019 / GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV:GR) (the "Company" or "Great Atlantic") is pleased to announce it has expanded its Glenelg Vanadium Property by means of additional mineral claim staking. The property, located in southwest New Brunswick, has been approximately tripled in size to the current area of approximately 3,500 hectares. The property hosts vanadium and titanium mineralization, occurring within the Bocabec Gabbro Complex.

Company and reported historic bedrock grab samples from within the Glenelg Property from the layered Bocabec Gabbro Complex returned significant levels of vanadium and titanium. Historic grab bedrock samples are reported to return significant levels for gold, cobalt and bismuth.

Company & historic bedrock grab samples of 0.33% & 0.42% V2O5 & 27.5% TiO2.
Historic bedrock grab samples of 14 g/t Au, 1.28% Bi & 0.65% Co.

The recent mineral staking by the Company significantly expanded the the Glenelg Proeprty to the west-northwest, covering additional ground reported to be underlain by the Silurian Bocabec Gabbro Complex (intrusive complex including gabbro, granodiorite, diorite and granite), areas of reported magnetic anomalies and three gold occurrences (as reported within the New Brunswick Department of Energy and Resource Development Mineral Occurrence files). Such magnetic anomalies are interpreted by Company management to be targets for vanadium and titanium bearing magnetite-rich rich layers within the Compex. A reported 1990 bedrock grab sample of quartz-sulfide breccia from one of the gold occurrences was reported to return 1.33 g/t gold.

A 2018 grab sample collected by the Company from a magnetic layer in the Bocabec Gabbro Complex returned 0.188% vanadium (0.33% V2O5), 10.3% TiO2 and 25.71% iron. This sample was collected within the southeast region of the property within the original mineral claims acquired by the Company. It was collected by a qualified person. This sample was analyzed by ALS Canada Ltd. by XRF Fusion.

Another 2018 bedrock grab sample from the same southeast region of the property was reported to return 0.234% vanadium (0.42% V2O5), 7.34% titanium (12.2%TiO2) and 28.8% iron. This sample was collected by one of the Company's option partners for the property. A 2013 sample from this region was reported to return 16.5% titanium (27.5% TiO2). These samples have not been verified by a Qualified Person.

Polymetallic veins are reported within the Glenelg Property. A grab sample collected during 2006 was reported to return 2.6 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 0.65% cobalt. A 2013 grab sample from a sulfide vein was reported to return 14 g/t gold, 1.28% bismuth and 0.12% cobalt. Both samples are reported within the southeast region of the property, within the original mineral claims acquired by the Company. These sample have not been verified by a Qualified Person.

The Glenelg property has seen little exploration. Company management cannot find evidence of historical drilling within the property.

The Glenelg Property is located immediately south of the Clarence Stream Gold Project of Galway Metals Inc. (TSXV.GWM). A portion of the northern boundary of the Glenelg Property borders Galway's Clarence Stream Gold Project. Galway reported a NI 43-101 resource estimate for the project during 2017, reporting total Measured plus Indicated resources of 6,178,000 tonnes at 1.96 g/t gold (390,000 ounces of gold) and total Inferred resources of 3,409,000 tonnes at 2.53 g/t gold (277,000 ounces of gold). Galway reported a new gold discovery at the Clarence Stream Gold Project earlier this year with one hole reported to intersect 7.3 g/t gold over 36.7 meters core length (Galway News Release of February 13, 2019).

The Glenelg Vanadium Property is located within southwest New Brunswick approximately 17 kilometers east of the town of St. Stephen and approximately 15 kilometers northwest of the Company's Mascarene Property which hosts multiple mineral occurrences with cobalt, copper, nickel, zinc, lead, gold and / or silver.

Readers are warned that mineralization at the Clarence Stream Gold Project and the Company's Mascarene Property are not necessarily indicative of mineralization within the Glenelg Vanadium Property.
