Following recently announced bulk\nsample test results (24 April 2008, which confirmed the presence of uranium, gold and silver),\nthere has been a significant increase in staking in the immediate vicinity by American and\nCanadian exploration groups.\n\nWhile providing a considerable degree of competition for GWMC, this also represents market\nvalidation by industry participants of GWMC's test results to date.\n\nA competent Persons Report is currently being compiled and is expected to include a suggested\ndrilling program to delineate the extent of the polymetalic deposit of Gold, Silver and Uranium.\n\n The Directors of the Issuer accept responsibility for this announcement.\n\n --ENDS--\n\nFor media enquiries, please contact:\n\nNick Rome / Michael Kinirons, Bishopsgate Communications\nTel +44 207 562 3350\n\nFor further information on investor relations please contact:\n\nLiam McGrattan, Investor Relations Director\nTel. +353 1 856 1700 Mobile +353 87 274 5427\nOr\nEmmett O'Connell, Chairman, Great Western Mining Corporation\nTel. +353 51 565 844 or +353 1 856 1700\n\nCorporate Adviser: St Helen's Capital Plc\nDuncan Vasey / Barry Hocken\nTel. +44 207 628 5582\n\nwww.greatwesternmining.com\n\nNote to Editor:\n\nGreat Western Mining Corporation plc is an Irish based exploration company, quoted on the PLUS\nMarket.
