Great Atlantic Acquires Lithium and Gold Prospective Mitchell Brook Project, Eastern Nova Scotia

Focused On Exploring Atlantic Canada

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 25, 2016 / GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV: GR) (the “Company” or “Great Atlantic”) is pleased to announce it has acquired by staking a Mineral Exploration Licence prospective for lithium and gold mineralization in eastern Nova Scotia. The Licence consists of 33 claims and is referred to as the Mitchell Brook Project. Lithium and gold mineralization are reported in close proximity to the Mitchell Brook Project on adjacent claims owned by Globex Mining Enterprises Inc.

A lithium-bearing pegmatite intrusion is reported in close proximity to Great Atlantic’s Mitchell Brook Project. Witch’s Glen Gold Inc. reported a lithium and beryllium bearing pegmatite during a 2010 trenching program approximately 500 north the Company’s Mitchell Brook Project. This included a 2 metre chip sample of pegmatite in one trench which was reported to return 5360 parts per million (ppm) Li (0.536% Li). Another 2 metre chip sample of the pegmatite from the same trench was reported to return 1160 ppm Be (0.116% Be). This trench is located within the adjacent Caledonia Property of Globex Mining Enterprises Inc. Witch’s Glen Gold reported pegmatite boulders (no samples reported), some of which may occur within Great Atlantic’s Mitchell Brook Project.

Gold bearing quartz veins cutting metasediments are also reported in close proximity to the Mitchell Brook Project within Globex’s Caledonia Property. In 1953 Hemany Mines Ltd. reported sample assays of 0.91, 0.60 and 0.243 ounce / ton Au in one area within 500 metres of Great Atlantic’s Mitchell Brook Property.

The Mitchell Brook Project is predominantly underlain by sediments – metasediments of the Cambrian-Ordovician Goldenville Formation, part of the Meguma Group. The Goldenville Formation in Nova Scotia hosts numerous gold deposits (quartz vein and disseminated deposits). The Goldenville Formation in this region is intruded by Devonian granite including near the northern boundary of the Mitchell Brook Property.

David Martin, VP Exploration for Great Atlantic Resources, stated, “We are excited to be able to acquire this property. It has potential for both Meguma – type gold deposits and pegmatite hosted lithium deposits based on the sporadic historic work in the area.”

The Mitchell Brook Project is located approximately 120 kilometers northeast of Halifax. A provincial highway accesses the property. The property covers an area of approximately 534 hectares.
