[{"type":"text","content":"\n \n\n 23 April 2009\n\n IEOOBIFR8863/GBP/PLUS-exn\n\n GREAT WESTERN MINING CORPORATION PLC\n (\"GWMC\" or \"the Company\")\n\nThe Directors of Great Western Mining Corporation plc, recipient of the 2008 PLUS Market Resource\nStock of the Year Award, announced results of Bulk Sample Tests on recently acquired mining claims in\nthe vicinity of its original holdings in Mineral County, Nevada.\n\nThe tests were carried out by Hazen Research Laboratory in Colorado, U.S.A.\n\nExcerpts from the Bulk Sample Bottle Roll Leaching Test.\n\nTable 1. Head Assays:\nSAMPLE Cu% Oxide Cu U3 08 %\nH#1 9.5 9.7 0.014\nCu Skarn 6.07 5.54 na\n\nTable 2. Analytical & Extraction Results\n HEAD GRADE EXTRACTION\n %\nSample Analyte Assayed Calculated Assayed Calculated\n Basis Basis\nH#1 Cu 9.51 9.1 94 99\n U3 08 0.014 0.012 81 93\nCu Skarn Cu 6.07 5.7 88 93\n\n a) assayed head extraction = (Cu in liquors)/(Cu in head)\n b) calculated head extraction = (Cu in liquors)/(Cu in liquors + tails)\n\nThe calculated-basis numbers are more accurate because they are mostly comprised of assays performed\non liquor samples, liquor samples are inherently uniform. In contrast, a sample from a solid ore is\nunlikely to be precisely representative of the larger body.\n\nBoth experiments resulted in an excellent copper extraction (99 and 93%). The H#1 sample also yielded\na uranium extraction of 93%.\n\nCommenting on the results, Chairman Emmett O'Connell said, \"The Directors of Great Western Mining\nCorporation plc are delighted, if somewhat in awe, at the results achieved. It would appear from\ninformation to hand, that this deposit extends over a larger area than originally expected.\"\n\nMr. O'Connell continued, \"with regards the non-radioactive 'Cu-Skarn' sample, results of 5.7% copper,\nthis was a pleasant surprise to the upside. Being some distance from sample H#1, it extends by a\nconsiderable degree the area of development potential for the short term, while medium term evaluation\nof our total uranium and precious metal values are examined.\" He concluded.\n\n ABOUT GREAT WESTERN MINING CORPORATION\n\n 1.
