Half Yearly Report
Great Western Mining the AIM and ESM quoted mining company,
announces its half yearly report for the six months to 30 June
2017.
Highlights:
-- The Group reports a loss for the period of EUR259,674
-- Basic and diluted loss per share (cent) 0.001
-- M2 JORC Resource Upgrade
-- M2 Technical Scoping Study completed
-- Placing of new shares for cash
Great Western Mining is currently focused on continued
exploration and appraisal of its prospects so is not yet generating
revenue. The Group reports a loss for the period of EUR259,674 (30
June 2016: EUR252,881, 31 December 2016: EUR430,205). At 30 June
2017 net-current assets totaled EUR1,802,544 (30 June 2016:
EUR505,435, 31 December 2016: EUR768,685) Overheads are tightly
controlled and the Group has no debt.
During the period, WT Cohan & Associates ("WTC") of Grand
Junction, Colorado provided an updated Mineral Resource estimate on
the Company's M2 Copper-Gold target. At a 0.2% cut-off, the WTC
estimate of total Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources is
16,989,570 tonnes of 0.52% copper of which 3,917,490 falls into the
Indicated category. In addition, WTC has provided an independent
estimate of the Exploration Target beneath the M2 Sharktooth Peak,
which was identified by reconnaissance and outcrop mapping, surface
sampling and two discovery drill holes in 2014. The low end of the
WTC estimate is 87,100,000 tonnes of 1% copper.
Since the period end, WTC has completed an M2 Technical Scoping
Study, originally commissioned in 2016. The company is currently
evaluating this study and will update shareholders on its
conclusions shortly.
During the reporting period, the Great Western Mining field team
participated in a drill programme on M1 conducted by Huntoon
Cooperation Agreement partner Crown Point Gold & Silver Mining
LLC ("Crown Point"). GWM has funded two drill holes, and
independent assays, on an area of anomalous mineralistion
straddling the border of both companies' properties. The area is a
magnetite breccia zone where grades of 400-500 ppb Au have been
found in surface soil samples. Crown Point has continued with the
drill programme after the period end, and the Company looks forward
to analysing all the assay results when these become available.
Great Western has recently completed two placings of new
ordinary shares, one during the reporting period and the other
shortly after the period-end date, raising combined gross proceeds
of GBP2,600,000 (EUR3,012,108). This significant injection of new
funds is enabling a major acceleration of work on the Company's
mineral prospects in Nevada.
The Group's strategic objectives for its principal activities,
being the exploration and mining for copper, silver, gold and other
minerals, are only achievable if certain risks are managed
effectively. The board has overall accountability for determining
the type and level of risk it is prepared to take. The principal
risks and uncertainties that may affect the Group's business remain
unchanged from those disclosed on page 6 of the Company's Annual
Report for the year ended 31 December 2016. The principal risks
include but are not limited to exploration, currency and commodity
price.
Certain statements made in this half yearly report are
forward-looking and these are based on current expectations which
remain subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. As a
consequence, events or ultimate results could differ materially
from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements.
Looking to the near future, the Group has an ambitious field
programme scheduled for the rest of this year and early next year.
In the autumn, a discovery level drill programme is planned on the
M4 (Target 4) Copper-Gold prospect, immediately followed by a Phase
3 drill programme on M2. As soon as the weather permits in early
spring 2018 a discovery level drill programme is planned for the
Sharktooth Exploration Target.
As always, the Board and management greatly appreciate
shareholder support and look forward to reporting on an active
period going forward.
