[{"type":"text","content":"\n \nRNS Number : 7590Y Great Western Mining Corp. plc 06 January 2020 \n\nGREAT WESTERN MINING CORPORATION PLC\n(\"Great Western\" or the \"Company\")\nMineral Jackpot Sampling Results\nResults highlight increased mineralised footprint and connectivity\nGreat Western Mining Corporation PLC (\"GWM\" or the \"Company\" - AIM GWMO, Euronext Growth 8-GW) announces the results of its recently completed soil sampling exercise over the Mineral Jackpot area in Mineral County, Nevada. \nA total of 249 soil samples and one grab sample were taken at Mineral Jackpot during November and December 2019 and delivered to the Bureau Veritas laboratory in Sparks, Nevada for analysis. The results have now been received, analysed and reviewed internally. They will be available to view in detail later today on the GWM site in the Projects & Operations section together with updated graphics. \nIn summary the results are highly encouraging for the Company, highlights of which are as follows:\n· 'Mineral Jackpot' is a generic term encompassing several old gold and silver mines, including the Mineral Jackpot, Silver Bell, Silver Moon, Cabin Rock, Ming Toy and Bass mines, none of which has been worked for many decades. \n· Soil sampling has approximately doubled the size of the previously defined mineralised footprint over the Mineral Jackpot area, proving up connectivity between abandoned, historic mine workings for gold and silver. \n· Geochemical signatures analysed during this project include Au (Gold), Ag (Silver), Pb (Lead), Zn (Zinc), Sb (Antimony), Bi (Bismuth), and As (Arsenic - commonly associated with the presence of Gold).\n· The single grab sample taken during the soil sampling exercise, MJG001, was acquired close to a recently discovered adit (horizontal mining tunnel) 100 metres to the north west of the existing Silver Bell workings. The grab sample yielded an assay of 27.4 g/t Au, 151 g/t Ag and 0.14% Cu. This clearly indicates that mineralisation continues north westwards from Silver Bell towards Mineral Jackpot and this is confirmed by the soil sample results.\n· Sampling shows that existing veins are well defined geochemically, supporting the Company's concept for this property.\n· The sample...
