GREAT WESTERN MINING CORPORATION PLC
("Great Western", "GWM" or the "Company")
Appointment of Exploration Manager
Great Western Mining Corporation PLC (AIM - GWMO, Euronext
Growth - 8GW), which is exploring and developing gold, silver and
copper targets in Mineral County, Nevada, is pleased to announce
the appointment of Dr. James Blight as Exploration Manager.
Dr. Blight will join the Company on 29 November 2021 and within
his first week will travel to the Company's operations in Nevada to
review the proposed 2022 work programme, which will include further
drilling and ongoing plans for the reprocessing of spoil heaps and
tailings.
Dr. Blight is a Chartered Professional affiliated to the
Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy ('AusIMM'), with
relevant experience in vein-hosted gold and base-metals
exploration, and is a 'Qualified Person' for reporting purposes.
His career has included frontier and near-mine exploration,
resource interpretation, infill drill programmes, pre-feasibility
studies and assessment of mined materials for potential
reprocessing operations.
Dr. Blight has worked on projects in West Africa, Saudi Arabia,
Ethiopia, the Gobi Desert of Mongolia and peri-arctic Sweden.
At Jibal Qutman in Saudi Arabia, he identified and sampled the
Red Hill gold target which became a 40,000 oz. satellite
deposit.
Most recently he has worked with Cornwall Resources PLC where he
was the technical lead at the Redmoor Project, discovering a new
tungsten-tin-copper resource. Following this, he designed a second
drill campaign which succeeded in more than doubling the originally
estimated tonnage, at better than anticipated grades.
Brian Hall, Executive Chairman, commented: " We are pleased to
welcome James Blight to this senior position in our team and look
forward to working with him. He joins us at a time when we are hard
at work on our large portfolio of projects in Nevada with the
ultimate aim of making a major discovery and the experience he
brings should help us to achieve this objective.
"Our successful drilling campaign at the Olympic Gold Project
and the Rock House Group earlier this year will be followed up with
further drilling in early 2022. We are currently advancing work on
other claim groups including multiple surveys at Mineral Jackpot,
the East Mine Group and in the Huntoon Valley. The prospective
scope of our commercial development of pre-mined material is
continually expanding and we are looking forward to updating
shareholders on this.
"We have made significant progress in the last two years since
we prioritised the hunt for precious metals and with a strengthened
team we look forward to an exciting year in 2022."

Notes to Editors
The Company has a large tract of acreage in Mineral County,
Nevada. The area consists of rugged, mountainous terrain, which
means that large parts of it remain under-explored. Mineral
potential is hosted by the regional Walker Lane Structural Belt,
the largest structural and metallogenic belt in Nevada, yet one of
the least explored in recent times, with gold, silver and copper
currently produced in Mineral County. Great Western has seven
distinct concession areas which offer the potential for exploiting
(1) short term gold and silver deposits and (2) long-term,
world-class copper deposits.
Six of the Company's properties are in the west of Mineral
County and are 100% owned and operated. The Company has an option
to acquire a seventh property, the Olympic Gold Project, in the
east of the county. Great Western's small exploration team is
supported by locally based consultants and contractors.
The state of Nevada is generally considered to be one of the
world's most mining friendly jurisdictions. While tightly regulated
and environmentally conscious, Nevada welcomes the mining industry.
Great Western takes care to ensure that its claims are maintained
in good standing and all regulations observed.
There are numerous gold and silver prospects on the Company's
acreage, including extensive historic mine workings which offer the
opportunity for secondary recovery.
Furthermore, through extensive drilling over a five-year period,
GWM has established a Mineral Resource on its first target area
known as M2, of 4.3 million tonnes at 0.45% copper, for 19,000
tonnes of contained copper metal. This resource has been
independently reported in accordance with JORC guidelines.
