The Company is pleased to report that the soil survey has delivered compelling evidence for mineralisation in this previously unexplored and unmined area of Great Western's properties.\n \nThe survey has clearly identified three separate highly-prospective zones of mineralisation, which will be followed up as soon as possible with further exploration work. The three zones identified are designated:\n \n· Eastern Shear Zone\n· Southern Alteration Zone\n· Northern Slate Zone\n \nEastern Sheer Zone: Soil sampling has identified an area of approximately 35,000m2 enriched in gold (Au), Copper (Cu), Lead (Pb) and Antimony (Sb). The soil sampling has verified the positive results of rock sampling carried out during a field campaign earlier in 2019, best sample results of which were 0.24 g/t Au and 0.13% Cu. The Eastern Shear Zone is an intensely deformed zone of argillised and hematised limestone and siltstone which can be traced for 200 metres along strike. The Company will now apply to the US Federal Bureau of Land Management ('BLM') for a surface disturbance exemption permit to facilitate testing of the shear zone with shallow percussion drilling.\n \nNorthern Slate Zone: Analysis of soil samples taken within a defined area of 700,000m2 indicates areas of gold enrichment, together with the presence of Copper and Nickel. This slate zone is situated along the northern contact of the Golconda-Candelaria thrust fault, a regional controlling feature playing a prominent role in the nearby Candelaria Silver deposits which have been commercially mined on a large scale. With the soil samples now analysed, a further and closer-spaced soil programme focused on specific zones of the most interest will be carried out when ground conditions perm...
