Drilling Commences Ahead of Schedule at West Huntoon

 

Great Western Mining Corporation PLC, a strategic and precious metals
exploration and development company, is pleased to provide an update on its
planned drilling programme at key targets in the Walker Lane belt of Nevada,
USA.

 

·     Drilling commenced at West Huntoon ahead of schedule on Thursday 2
October and the first drill hole was nearing target depth on Friday 3 October.

·     This is the first hole in a 1,800-metre reverse circulation (RC)
drilling programme at the high-priority Rhyolite Dome and West Huntoon
prospects.

·     Great Western's dedicated operational and technical team is
overseeing the campaign to maximise efficiency and data quality.

·     Drilling is expected to continue through October, with assay
results to follow.

 

Great Western Chairman Brian Hall commented: "I am very pleased to advise
shareholders that our fully funded drill programme has now commenced ahead of
schedule, with the first hole nearing completion at West Huntoon. This marks
the beginning of an exciting campaign to unlock the copper and precious metals
potential of our claims in this highly prospective region. With drilling
advancing at our high-priority targets at West Huntoon and work at Rhyolite
Dome to follow at key locations defined by recent IP data, we are well
positioned to deliver meaningful results.

 

"Shareholders can look forward to strong news flow through Q4, both from this
drill programme and from assay results on our soil sampling at the high-grade
Pine Crow/Defender Tungsten prospects. We look forward to providing further
updates as this programme progresses."
