Extension of Tungsten Project Area

 

Great Western Mining Corporation PLC, the AIM-quoted exploration and
development company focused on mineral projects in the state of Nevada, USA,
is pleased to announce that it has staked an additional 165.3 acres of claims
contiguous to the Company's Defender-Pine Crow Tungsten Project in Mineral
County, Nevada ("Defender-Pine Crow" or the "Project").

 

The expansion of its land package at Defender-Pine Crow consolidates the
Company's footprint in an area which has demonstrated prospectivity for
high-grade tungsten mineralisation.

 

·    Eight new claim blocks, covering 165.3 acres (67 hectares), staked in
Mineral County, Nevada and filed with both the county and with the federal
Bureau of Land Management ("BLM").

·   Extends the northern and eastern boundary of the Company's existing
claim holdings in the Black Mountains.

·    Provides an expanded buffer zone around the confirmed tungsten
occurrences, which are a focus of the Company's current exploration
activities.

 

Great Western CEO Ed Loye commented: "We are pleased to have secured these
additional claim blocks at Defender-Pine Crow, further strengthening our land
position in what is shaping up to be a very prospective tungsten district in
Nevada.  Results from the Project to date have been highly encouraging and
the exploration team is excited about the potential we are seeing on the
ground.

 

"Expanding our footprint in this area is therefore a natural step and an
important part of our wider exploration strategy for 2026, which is focused on
advancing Defender-Pine Crow towards a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate by the
end of the year. These new claims not only extend our coverage to the north
and east but also provide a wider operational buffer around the historic
Defender workings.

 

"With winter conditions receding, our team will be back on site in the next
few weeks to continue to implement this year's fully funded exploration
programme and we are all eager to begin work and start feeding results back to
the market. Encouraging results have already been achieved and with an
expanded land package now in place, we look forward to building momentum at
Defender-Pine Crow throughout the coming field season."
