[{"type":"text","content":"\n \n \n \n RNS Number : 8224F\n Great Western Mining Corp. plc\n 24 March 2022\n \n \n \n GREAT WESTERN MINING CORPORATION PLC\n (\"Great Western\", \"GWM\" or the \"Company\")\n \n \n GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED\n \n Great Western Mining Corporation PLC (AIM - GWMO, Euronext Growth - 8GW), which is exploring and developing gold, silver, and copper targets in Nevada, provides the following summary of geophysical survey work carried out over selected claim groups. \n \n HIGHLIGHTS\n Induced Polarisation Survey\n \n · \n Eastside Mine: IP results have identified two main graben structures associated with surface veining, alteration and copper shows\n \n \n Drone Magnetometry\n \n · \n Mineral Jackpot: Corridors of low magnetic response shown to parallel the main vein orientation and extend beyond the known limits of historic mining\n \n \n · \n Mineral Jackpot, Jack Springs, Huntoon and Tun: Drone magnetometry enhances understanding of broad structural framework facilitating 2022 fieldwork\n \n \n Drone Orthophotography\n \n · \n Mineral Jackpot and Olympic Gold: High-resolution digital terrain models created for accurately assessing forthcoming resource estimates of surface waste material for reprocessing \n \n \n GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS\n \n \n \n During the winter, multiple geophysical surveys have been conducted over Great Western's portfolio of claims. These surveys consisted of three induced polarisation (IP) profiles of 2,400m each at the Eastside Mine, together with drone magnetometry at the Mineral Jackpot, Jack Springs, Huntoon and Tun claim groups, making a total of 591 line km surveyed. In addition, 25.7km² of orthophotography surveys were conducted over Mineral Jackpot and the OMCO Mine site. These surveys have (1) enhanced the Company's understanding of the structures that controlled mineralisation (2) helped to generate new drill targets where anomalies coincide with surface showings and (3) provided high-resolution topographic models covering Great Western's stocks of mineralised mine waste.\n \n \n \n Eastside Mine Induced Polarisation Survey\n At the Eastside Mine, which is a copper target for the Company, the IP survey profiles were orientated in an east-west direction and designed to test down to 300m depth.
