Tungsten Exploration Update

 

Great Western Mining Corporation PLC, a strategic and precious metals
exploration and development company, is pleased to announce an update on its
100% owned and highly prospective Pine Crow-Defender tungsten prospect in
Mineral County, Nevada.

 

Further to the Company's 18 November 2025 announcement, in December the GWM
exploration team completed a machine-cut channel sampling programme over
existing trenches at the Pine Crow-Defender prospect.  This work followed
anomalous soil sampling results reported in October and the Company considers
that these trench samples have strong potential to confirm zones of broad and
consistent tungsten mineralisation.

 

Initial observations from the trenching programme are highly encouraging and
the samples have been dispatched to a laboratory for assay.  The results are
expected during January and could be used in the design of an early drill
programme.

 

Development of a tungsten asset is aligned with US demand for secure domestic
supplies of critical and strategic minerals.

 

 Commenting on the year, Brian Hall, Executive Chairman of Great Western
Mining, said:

 

"2025 was a year of solid exploration progress for Great Western, involving
copper, precious metals and tungsten. Our drilling campaigns at the West
Huntoon copper prospect and the Rhyolite Dome gold prospect were completed as
planned, with laboratory assays currently awaited.  At West Huntoon and
Defender-Pine Crow we have conducted extensive surface sampling and the recent
machine-cut channel samples taken at Defender-Pine Crow in December will
greatly add to our understanding of the tungsten potential there, which we
expect will confirm zones of tungsten mineralisation. We have effectively
strengthened our exposure to the minerals that are becoming increasingly
important to domestic US supply chains, and we are eager to see the Pine
Crow-Defender assay results.

 

"We will enter the new year well positioned to build on this momentum and
unlock value across the portfolio."
