Vancouver - Great Atlantic Resources Corp. (TSXV.GR) (the 'Company' or 'Great Atlantic') is pleased to announce 2021 exploration plans for its Keymet Precious Metal - Base Metal Property, located in northeast New Brunswick.

Great Atlantic's focus since acquiring the property in 2011 has been the northwest region of the property. Six polymetallic vein type occurrences with silver, zinc, lead and plus / minus copper and plus / minus gold are reported in the northwest region of the Keymet Property.
