Great Atlantic Resources Corp (TSX-V:GR) announced that its 2023 prospecting and rock geochemical sampling program at its Mascarene gold, copper, nickel, cobalt and zinc property in New Brunswick has resulted in the discovery of a new zone of sulfide-bearing quartz veins.
The company said that it located sulfide-bearing quartz veins in outcrops at three locations within an area spanning 200 meters by 50 meters.
It reported that the quartz veins range from 0.2 meters to 1.3 meters wide and contain pyrite and/or chalcopyrite.
Nine samples have been collected, seven outcrop grab samples from the quartz veins and two in this area from quartz vein subcrop and a glacially transported float with quartz veins, and submitted for multi-element analysis, with results pending.
Meanwhile, exploration in the west of the property was carried out to the south-southwest of historic workings interpreted by Great Atlantic management to be associated with the reported Simpson Prospects mineral occurrence.
Six rock samples were collected in this area that have also been submitted for multi-element analysis.
The company noted that it has previously confirmed high-grade zinc mineralization in rubble at the Simpson Prospects workings with two 2018 rubble samples returning 12.6% zinc and 12.3% zinc.
Great Atlantic Resources is a Canadian exploration company focused on the discovery and development of mineral assets in the resource-rich and sovereign risk-free realm of Atlantic Canada, one of the number one mining regions of the world.
