01:03 PM EDT, 09/15/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Great Atlantic Resources (GR.V) shares were last seen down near 8% on Monday after it said it started a bulk sample program at its Golden Promise property in central Newfoundland.

The company said Novamera has set up Surgical Mining equipment at the JMZ bulk sample site and is currently conducting control system testing/commissioning. The bulk sample will total up to 1000 cubic meters.

"Operational testing has been carried out - not directly at the target location, but nearby on the property - and everything is performing well," said Chief Executive Christopher Anderson. "The equipment is now being set up at the initial start point, with only fine-tuning and adjustments on the drill head remaining."

Shares of the company were last seen down $0.015 at $0.175 on the TSX Venture Exchange.
