About this update from Great Western Mining Corp. Plc
[{"type":"text","content":"\n \nRNS Number : 4329S Great Western Mining Corp. plc 24 September 2014 \n \n\nGreat Western Mining Corporation PLC\n\n(\"Great Western Mining\", \"GWM\" or the \"Company\")\n \nTUN Group Gold-Silver Prospect\n \nGreat Western Mining, the AIM (AIM:GWMO) and ESM quoted mineral exploration company with 73 sq. kilometres of mineral claims in south-west Nevada USA, is pleased to provide the second update from the Company's 2014 field progamme on the Golconda Thrust Group, containing the four claim groups: TUN Group, EM Group, RH Group and JS Group.\n \nThe GWM field team carried out geological mapping, soil and rock chip sampling on three of the claim groups: TUN, EM and JS, accompanied by the Company's independent consulting geologist, Donald G Strachan.\n \nThe TUN Group (M6) is approximately 7 miles south-west of the Company's Target 4 (M4-T4) copper prospect, for which GWM recently announced the submission of a drilling permit application to the United States Forestry Service (USFS).\n \nThe M6 prospect appears to be a parallel system of multiple, oxide and sulphide, gold-silver veins and veinlet stockworks. Relatively small tonnages of supergene, multi-ounce, high-grade, bonanza-style ores were mined in the past at M6. Potential remains for moderate-sized deposits of shallow, oxidized stockworks and veins and deeper sulphide ores in the immediate vicinity of the historic M6 workings.\n \nMultiple veins occur along a northeasterly strike for 500 feet, and extend to a width of 60 feet. Streaks of oxidized chalcopyrite-pyrite-galena were noted in several samples taken along 200 feet of the strike. Gold in three samples varied from 4,147 ppb (note 1) Au to 9,839 ppb Au. Silver varied from 337 ppm (note 2) Ag to 757 ppm Ag. Lead varied from 1,340 ppm Pb to greater than 10,000 ppm Pb. Arsenic (As) and Antimony (Sb) was also strongly anomalous. \n \nAlteration and structure associated with this mineralisation persists in outcrop for 700 feet to the southwest and 300 feet northeast of the workings. The width of the mineralised, multi-vein, northeasterly structure approaches 75 feet. M6 has the potential to be an underground and much larger open-pit prospect.\n \nGWM will follow up these results with more detailed surface mapping, and a soil grid and rock chip geochemical programme.
