Episode Summary:
In this episode of Off Road with Frank Ferraro, we head deep into the underexplored mineral lands of Atlantic Canada—a region rich in gold, antimony, tungsten, and now… emeralds? Frank sits down with Christopher Anderson, CEO of Great Atlantic Resources, to uncover why New Brunswick and Newfoundland may hold the keys to the next major mining boom.
From high-grade gold veins and fully owned mineral assets to cutting-edge directional drilling powered by AI, Great Atlantic is taking a bold—and potentially game-changing—approach to modern exploration. Anderson shares the company’s flagship Golden Promise Project, insights on speculative capital flows post-COVID, and how timing and technology are redefining junior mining.
