Great Atlantic Resources Corp. announced that it has expanded the Pilley's Island Base Metal ­Precious Metal Property by means of claim staking. The property was expanded by more than four times the previous size from 875 hectares to the current 4,600 hectares. The Pilley's Island Property now covers over 95% of Pilley's island, located in north-central Newfoundland. Recent samples collected by the Company at a 2017 trench returned significant results for copper, lead, zinc, silver and gold including trench a bedrock channel sample returning 15.40% Zn, 6.60% Pb, 4.66% Cu, 111.5 g/t Ag and 1.0 g/t Au over 1.05 meter length and grab samples returning up to 40.8% Zn, 20.0% Pb, 8.38% Cu, 148.1 g/t Ag and 2.2 g/t Au. The focus of Great Atlantic's work to date on the property has been the Bull Road showing, located in the southern region of Pilley's Island. A trench was excavated in 2017 at this showing exposing sulfide mineralization over a northwest-southeast length of 130m with a width varying between 1-7m. The Bull Road Showing is a polylithic slump breccia of volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralization containing massive sulphide clasts up to greater than a metre in length. Bull Road Trench sample highlights include: 1.05 meter channel sample: 15.40% Zn, 6.60% Pb, 4.66% Cu, 111.5 g/t Ag and 1.008 g/t Au; 0.70 meter channel sample: 17.30% Zn, 0.10% Pb, 2.97% Cu, 31.2 g/t Ag and 0.449 g/t Au; 0.95 meter channel sample: 3.95% Zn, 0.73% Pb, 2.83% Cu, 62.2 g/t Ag and 0.613 g/t Au; 1.00 meter channel sample: 2.96% Zn, 0.03% Pb, 3.27% Cu, 30.4 g/t Ag and 0.563 g/t Au; Outcrop grab sample: 40.8% Zn, 4.69% Pb, 6.08% Cu, 22.5 g/t Ag and 1.366 g/t Au; Outcrop grab sample: 32.60% Zn, 1.30% Pb, 8.38% Cu, 148.1 g/t Ag and 1.421 g/t Au; Outcrop grab sample: 36.40% Zn, 5.50% Pb, 4.22% Cu, 59.9 g/t Ag and 0.325 g/t Au; Outcrop grab sample: 27.5% Zn, 20.0% Pb, 5.78% Cu, 63.4 g/t Ag and 0.314 g/t Au.
