[{"type":"text","content":"\n \n\n 30 December 2008\n\n IEOOBIFR8863/GBP/PLUS-exn\n\n GREAT WESTERN MINING CORPORATION PLC\n\n Third Bulk Sample Test Results\n\nGreat Western Mining Corporation plc announced today results of the third bulk sample bottle roll leaching\ntests carried out by an independent American research laboratory which has the capacity for handling\nradioactive ores.\n\nIt would appear that the Acid/Cyanide leaching programme is giving the most cost effective recovery of the\nuranium, gold and silver values.\n\nExcerpts of the results are given below:\n____________________________________________________________________________________\nFrom: FAX TRANSMITTAL\n\nMessage:\n\nEmmett,\n\nI have attached a copy of the datasheets for the Acid/Cyanide leaching of the WT Cohan 481/482 samples at - 10\nmesh and ¼\" grind. A summary of the recovery throughout the leaches can be found on the first two pages, which\nshows the uranium recovery in acid leaching as well as the gold and silver recovery in the cyanide leaching.\nThe cyanide leaching detail is in the subsequent pages. The main points of the data are reproduced here (these\nare on a calculated head basis):\n\nGrind Uranium extraction Au Extraction Ag Extraction\n-10 mesh 98% 84% 73%\n¼\" 96% 70% 51%\n\nYou will recall that the bicarbonate/cyanide leaching produced the following:\n-10 mesh 12% 64% 40%\n¼\" 13% 54% 33%\n\nSo a similar trend is seen where the finer grind size produces better extraction. It is clear that the acid\nleach, while also extracting nearly all the uranium in the ore appears to free up more of the precious metals\nso they are more completely extracted.\n\nA Competent Persons Report is currently being prepared and is expected to recommend a work programme for 2009\nintended to determine the extent of the ore body.\n\nThe Directors of the issuer accept responsibility for this announcement.\n\nNote to Editor\n\nGreat Western Mining Corporation plc (ticket symbol GWMO) is a Dublin based exploration company with 11.4\nsquare kilometres of mineral claims in Mineral County, Nevada.\n\nShares of the Company are listed on the PLUS Market in London. It was awarded the prize of \"Best Resource Stock\nof 2008\" on the PLUS Market.\n\nFor further information:\nEmmett O'Connell\nChairman \nTel:+353-51-565844\nFax: +353-51-565884\nemail: [email protected]\n\nLiam McGrattan\nDirector, I...
