The company has received the remaining gold assays for hole GP-21-151, which was previously released on February 14th along with holes GP-21-152, GP-21-154 to 156, with results from hole GP-21-153 pending.
Drill hole GP-21-151 was a definition hole within the western area of the Jaclyn Main Zone. Drill core gold assays confirm multiple gold bearing intervals in this hole. The recent gold assays include a 0.60-metre core length sample returning 4.02 g/t gold.
The company previously reported gold assays for initial drill samples from this hole including three drill core samples exceeding 5 g/t gold of which one 0.40-metre core length quartz vein sample with visible gold returned 101.4 g/t gold.
Gold assays were also received for drill core samples from drill holes GP-21-154 to GP-21-156, completed at the Jaclyn North Zone. The holes were drilled east of historic pre-Great Atlantic drill holes to explore along the projected strike of the Jaclyn North Zone. Drill holes GP-21-154 and GP-21-155 both intersected near-surface quartz veined zones with anomalous gold.
A 0.71-metre core length sample from a quartz veined zone in GP-21-154 returned an anomalous value of 0.142 g/t gold at a depth of approximately 20 metres. A 0.56-meter core length sample from greywacke with quartz veins in GP-21-155 returned an anomalous value of 0.188 g/t gold at a depth of approximately 46 metres.
Gold assays from drill hole GP-21-156 confirm near-surface anomalous and high-grade gold. A 0.41-metre core length sample from a quartz vein with visible gold returned a high-grade assay of 30.6 g/t gold at a depth of approximately 22 metres. Drill hole GP-21-156 was collared within a zone of abundant quartz vein float of which previous Great Atlantic float samples returned high grade gold values including four boulder samples exceeding 100 g/t gold.
A total of 6 holes from 2020 and 2021 extended the Jaclyn North Zone quartz vein system approximately 260 metres further east along strike.
Gold assays were previously received for core samples from GP-21-149 and 150, both intersecting high-grade gold in quartz veins at the Jaclyn Main Zone.
Intercepts (core length) for both holes include GP-21-149: 238.4 g/t gold over 0.40 metres, including visible gold and GP-21-150: 20.13 g/t gold over 0.50 metres and 75.58 g/t gold over 0.35 metres, including visible gold in both veins.
During the last quarter of 2018, the company reported a NI 43-101 compliant inferred resource estimate of 357,000 tonnes at 10.4 grams per tonne gold for 119,000 ounces uncapped at the Jaclyn Main Zone.
Great Atlantic, with a number of properties in the Atlantic provinces, is utilizing a Project Generation model, with a special focus on critical elements which are prominent in Atlantic Canada, such as Antimony, Tungsten and Gold.
