Great Atlantic Resources Corp (TSX-V:GR) announced that it has begun the 2022 exploration program at its 100% owned McDougall Road antimony-gold project in New Brunswick.
The Canadian exploration firm said prospecting and rock geochemical sampling are currently underway in multiple regions of the property, as the company previously identified antimony and gold soil geochemical anomalies within the project in the area of a regional fault.
Great Atlantic noted the current prospecting and rock sampling program is more focused within the southern region of the project in the reported area of the Woodstock fault.

The company added that it has located and sampled numerous quartz vein float boulders in this area during the current program, and rock samples will be submitted to an independent, certified laboratory for gold assay and multi-element analysis.
As well, Great Atlantic said an antimony bearing vein was reported during the 1990s within the central region of the McDougall Road project, which was thought to be 12 centimeters wide with one sample reportedly having returned 11.6% antimony.
Great Atlantic Resources is a project generator with a special focus on critical elements prominent in Atlantic Canada: gold, copper, zinc, nickel, cobalt, antimony, and tungsten.
