Great Atlantic Resources Corp. explores mineral properties in Atlantic Canada, with recurring updates centered on gold, silver, base-metal and critical-mineral targets in Newfoundland and New Brunswick. Company news regularly covers field programs, prospecting, trenching, geochemical sampling, geophysical work and drilling plans across properties including Golden Promise, Glenelg, Keymet and Kagoot Brook.
Coverage also includes project-level option arrangements and partner activity at mineral properties such as Pilley's Island and Mount Raymond. Updates frequently reference gold and copper targets in central Newfoundland, gold-antimony-vanadium work in southwest New Brunswick, polymetallic silver-copper-zinc-lead veins at Keymet, and cobalt stream-sediment anomalies at Kagoot Brook.
Great Atlantic Resources (GRARF) has begun excavator trenching at its wholly owned South Quarry Tungsten Property in southern Newfoundland.
The company plans five trenches across two northern target areas, collecting rock and till samples for tungsten analysis. Three trenches will revisit an area where 2016 bedrock and loose-bedrock grab samples returned 1,240–2,350 ppm tungsten and a boulder sample returned 3,060 ppm. A second historical trench there did not reach bedrock; deeper till samples returned 100–109 ppm.
The remaining two trenches are planned near a backfilled 2016 trench where a quartz-vein sample returned 1,020 ppm tungsten and a till sample returned 70 ppm. Soil sampling in 2022 also identified tungsten anomalies in this area. These historical results are not results from the current program. All trench sites will be rehabilitated under the exploration approval and Mineral Act regulations.
Great Atlantic Resources (GRARF) has closed a non-brokered private placement with one subscriber for gross proceeds of $250,000.
The financing comprised 3,571,430 flow-through units at $0.07 each, with each unit containing one common share and one-half purchase warrant. Each whole warrant allows purchase of one additional non-flow-through common share at $0.07 for 24 months after closing. Net proceeds will fund exploration on mineral properties in Atlantic Canada.
The company paid Castlewood Capital a $20,000 cash commission and issued 285,714 finder warrants, exercisable at $0.07 for two years from closing. The financing closing and finder fees remain subject to final TSX-V approval. Issued securities are subject to a hold period ending January 30, 2027.
Great Atlantic Resources (GRARF) reported gold assays from its 2025 trenching program at the wholly owned Golden Promise property in Newfoundland.
Seven rock grab samples from an approximately 17-meter section of Trench No. 2 returned 0.289 to 1.004 grams of gold per tonne. Together with samples from three nearby trenches excavated in 2024 and 2025, the results show sporadic gold mineralization along a northeast–southwest corridor at least 135 meters long. The samples include excavated rubble, subcrop and bedrock. Most multielement results remain pending. The company's subsidiary plans geophysical surveys and further trenching to help plan a drilling program in the area.
Great Atlantic Resources (GRARF) reported new assay results confirming a gold-copper bedrock zone at its 100%-owned Golden Promise Property in central Newfoundland.
The zone, first exposed by 2024 trenching, is up to 0.4 metres wide, trends northeast-southwest and is subvertical. A 2024 grab sample returned 0.481 g/t gold, more than 10,000 ppm copper (>1% Cu) and more than 6 ppm silver. Three 2025 bedrock grab samples over about 4 metres returned up to 1.008 g/t gold and up to more than 10,000 ppm copper, with anomalous silver. One subcrop sample returned 0.370 g/t gold. The company plans geophysical surveys, additional trenching and resubmission of two samples for copper and silver assay.
Great Atlantic Resources (GRARF) will be a Gold Sponsor of the 51st Exploration, Mining and Petroleum (EMP) New Brunswick Conference, held at the Delta Hotel in Fredericton from October 25–27, 2026.
Company representatives, including President & CEO Christopher R. Anderson and VP Exploration David Martin, P.Geo., will attend and invite shareholders, investors, brokers and analysts to discuss what the company describes as its most active New Brunswick exploration season to date. Programs in 2026 span tungsten, tin, gold, antimony, silver and cobalt across multiple properties, including new staking around the past-producing Mount Pleasant tungsten-molybdenum mine, ongoing work at the Flume Ridge tungsten target, advancement of gold and antimony targets at the Glenelg Property, a comprehensive exploration and 2,500-metre drill program at the Keymet Silver Property, and cobalt-focused work at the Kagoot Brook Property.
Great Atlantic Resources (OTCQB: GRARF) announced a corporate restructuring to create a wholly-owned subsidiary, Atlantic Canada Tungsten Mining Corp. (ACT), as a focused platform for its Atlantic Canada tungsten assets. Over time, Great Atlantic intends to migrate into ACT the South Quarry Tungsten Property in central Newfoundland, its recently expanded Mount Pleasant area claims in southwestern New Brunswick, and the Nashwaak Lake Property claims in western New Brunswick, among other tungsten assets. The reorganization is internal, does not change the Company’s share capital, and requires no shareholder action. Great Atlantic highlighted tungsten’s status as a critical metal and noted that its 2026 prospecting program and a six-trench mechanical trenching program are underway at South Quarry, while Mount Pleasant area claims were recently increased by over 6,000 hectares.
Great Atlantic Resources (OTCQB: GRARF) has expanded its tungsten-tin land position in the Mount Pleasant area of southwest New Brunswick by staking three new mineral claims (12617, 12618, 12619) that partially surround the past-producing Mount Pleasant tungsten-molybdenum mine. According to Great Atlantic, these new claims add over 6,000 hectares and bring the company’s Southwest New Brunswick Tin-Tungsten Project to approximately 9,880 hectares across 10 claims, six of which lie in the Mount Pleasant area.
The Pughole claim (4635), contiguous with new claim 12617, hosts the True Hill tungsten–tin–molybdenum–bismuth occurrence and historical drill intercepts by Geodex Mineral Ltd., including up to 18.60% zinc, 0.32% tin and 785 ppm indium over 1.20 meters. Management highlights its prior tungsten experience at the Sisson Project and around Mount Pleasant, and is compiling historical exploration data to design new work programs.
Great Atlantic Resources (OTC:GRARF) has started its 2026 prospecting and rock geochemical sampling program at the South Quarry Tungsten Property in central Newfoundland. The company holds an Exploration Approval from the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Energy and Mines allowing up to six excavator trenches and new access trails in the northern part of the property (Mineral Licences 026556M and 027365M). The approval was issued on August 23, 2025 and is valid until August 23, 2027, with trenching planned to begin in early September 2026. Work focuses on priority tungsten targets defined by historical and recent results, including tungsten soil anomalies and anomalous rock samples. Rock samples from the 2026 program will undergo multi‑element analysis, including tungsten and gold assays, with results to be released after receipt, verification and interpretation.
Great Atlantic Resources (OTC: GRARF) reports that option partner HM Exploration has started borehole and surface Time-Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM) surveys at the Pilley's Island Project in north-central Newfoundland, using contractor Crone Geophysics. HM Exploration can earn a 100% interest in the project.
According to HM Exploration, the Surveys target potential extensions of known mineralized zones and additional conductive targets around Phase One drilling at the Clifford Jones (Bull Road) Zone. Borehole TDEM is underway in 2026 drill holes, to be followed by a surface survey of approximately 13 line kilometres over about one square kilometre.
HM Exploration states that the TDEM data will be used to refine targets and plan a Phase Two drill program anticipated for late 2026. The project hosts multiple volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) prospects in a road-accessible area with historic production and limited modern systematic drilling.
Great Atlantic Resources (OTC: GRARF)/b) reported remaining assays from option partner for drill holes 8–12 of the 2026 Phase One program at the Pilley's Island Project in north-central Newfoundland. HM Exploration can earn a 100% interest in the project.
Key intercepts include hole PI-26-008 with 18.45 m grading 1.14% Cu, 2.42% Zn, 16.74 g/t Ag and 0.32 g/t Au in the upper lens, plus 6.32 m grading 0.91% Cu, 2.37% Zn, 29.3 g/t Ag and 1.63 g/t Au in the lower lens. Hole PI-26-010 cut 5.42 m grading 1.99% Cu, 1.66% Zn, 15.49 g/t Ag and 0.8 g/t Au in the lower lens. According to HM Exploration, the upper lens is now confirmed over ~145 m of strike and the lower lens over ~40 m, both remaining open along strike and at depth.
Televiewer surveys are complete and downhole and ground EM surveys are being mobilized to refine targets for Phase Two drilling. HM Exploration interprets multiple stacked VMS sulphide lenses within a road-accessible project that hosts historic mining and numerous underexplored showings.
