Quartz vein sample from the East Golden Promise Property

The 2022 prospecting program was focused within the east region of the East Golden Promise Property. A total of 22 rock samples were collected during the program. Samples were collected from bedrock exposures, loose rock fragments near bedrock and float boulders. Eight rock samples returned anomalous gold values in the 0.010 to 0.084 parts per million (ppm or grams per tonne) range.

Rock samples from bedrock and loose rock near bedrock from a small area less than 10 square meters returned the highest gold values. Sample 431804 from bedrock of meta-sandstone with quartz veins and sulfide mineralization returned 0.044 ppm gold. Samples 431806 and 431807 from loose rock (meta-sandstone with quartz veins and sulfide mineralization) near bedrock returned gold values of 0.073 ppm gold and 0.084 ppm gold. The 2022 rock samples from the East Golden Promise Property were analysed for gold by ALS Canada Ltd. by Fire Assay – AAS. ALS Canada Ltd. is independent of Great Atlantic.
