Au-Ag-Cu Mineralisation Confirmed at West Huntoon
Great Western Mining Corporation PLC has announced assay results from its West Huntoon Gold-Silver-Copper Project in Nevada, confirming precious metal mineralization associated with Cretaceous granite. Six RC drill holes totaling 3,630 feet revealed significant intercepts including 25 feet at 1.01 g/t Au and 11.00 g/t Ag, and 15 feet at 1.67 g/t Au and 2.34 g/t Ag, with elevated pathfinder elements indicating a magmatic-hydrothermal system. The company also acquired previously unexamined historical drill core for further analysis and plans to continue detailed geological mapping and sampling. Disclaimer*

[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n22 January 2026\nGREAT WESTERN MINING CORPORATION PLC\n(\"Great Western\", \"GWM\" or the \"Company\")\n \nAu-Ag-Cu Mineralisation Confirmed at West Huntoon\n \nGreat Western Mining Corporation PLC (AIM - GWMO, Euronext Growth - 8GW) is pleased to announce the assay results of a Reverse Circulation (\"RC\") drilling campaign at its West Huntoon Gold-Silver-Copper Project in Nevada USA (\"the Project\").\n \nHIGHLIGHTS\n· Six RC drill holes successfully drilled at West Huntoon, totalling 3,630 ft (1,106.4 metres) (Figure 1) providing valuable new insights into the precious and base metal mineralisation of the Project.\n· Precious metal Au-Ag mineralisation is now found to be associated with Cretaceous \"Crown Point\" granite (Figure 1, Table 1).\n· Highlight metal intercepts include:\no 25 ft @ 1.01 g/t Au and 11.00 g/t Ag (including 5 ft @ 2.55 g/t Au and 19.00 g/t Ag);\no 15 ft @ 1.67 g/t Au and 2.34 g/t Ag (including 5ft @ 4.01 g/t Au and 2.74 g/t Ag);\no 5 ft at @ 1.06 g/t Au and 8.54 g/t Ag; and 85 ft @ 3.00 g/t Ag (Table 1).\n· Elevated pathfinder elements including barium (Ba, consistently >2,000 ppm), arsenic (As, various 5ft intervals >1000 ppm and up to 3670 ppm), lithium (Li, consistently >20 ppm) and antimony (Sb, various intervals >4 ppm) in all drill holes indicate a shallow component of a magmatic-hydrothermal system.\n· Previously unexamined material from historic RC and diamond core drilling has recently been obtained by the Company and will be logged and assayed.\n· Detailed geological mapping and sampling of epithermal features across the property is ongoing.\n \nGreat Western Chairman Brian Hall commented: \"The results of our focused but limited drilling campaign over part of the vast area which makes up the Huntoon Copper Project have delivered strong potential for significant gold and silver mineralisation in addition to the copper potential which we had already established. Confirmation of precious metals mineralisation over the Crown Point area is a major advance for the Company and will add an important new dimension to our 2026 exploration plans as we move forward, which will include further testing of the Crown Point granite.\n \n\"...
