Half Yearly Report
Great Western Mining, the AIM (AIM: GWMO) and ESM quoted mining
company announces its Half Yearly results for the six months to 30
June, 2016.
Highlights:
-- Pre-tax loss of EUR252,881
-- Basic and diluted loss per share (cent) 0.001
-- M2 technical scoping study commissioned
-- M1 second soil sampling program completed
-- Huntoon mine area co-operation agreement signed
Great Western Mining is currently focused on the continued
exploration and appraisal of its prospects in Mineral County,
Nevada, and so is not currently generating revenue. For the six
month period ending 30 June 2016, the group reported a loss of
EUR252,881 (30 June 2015: EUR98,211). As at 30 June 2016, the
Company had net current assets of EUR505,435 (30 June 2015:
EUR1,214,212). GWM continues to tightly control overheads and the
Group has no debt as at 30 June 2016.
The Company is working on the development of a heap leach
facility on 10 acres of private land which it recently purchased at
Marietta, Nevada. This will enable GWM to commence initial gold and
copper production from the M2 discovery area where the Company has
previously carried out extensive drilling operations. During the
period, the Group commissioned Nevada-based mining engineer Mr. W T
Cohan to undertake a JORC Compliant Scoping Study for M2 as part of
the application process for a full mining licence. The first part
of the Scoping Study, which will include the mine plans and an
updated resource estimate, is expected imminently.
In the spring and early summer of 2016, the Great Western Mining
field team conducted a second soil sampling programme on M1 to
consolidate the very encouraging results of the previous year. The
sampling programmes have revealed widespread anomalous
mineralisation, with gold shows of up to 248 parts per billion gold
spread over a large area. The results from the 2016 field programme
will be available shortly.
Since the end of the reporting period the Group has signed the
Huntoon Mine Area Co-operation Agreement with neighbouring claim
holder Crown Point Gold & Silver Mining Co. LLC ("Crown"), as
announced in August 2016. This is a significant step in
consolidating local operations and gives the Company access to
local resources and infrastructure which have not previously been
available to the Group. Crown is actively exploiting its claims and
there is now a formal mechanism for sharing the benefits of any
productive veins which span the acreage of both parties to the
Agreement. The Agreement is for an initial period of three years
and also provides for sharing the benefits of any farm out or sale
of acreage which may arise.
Looking to the future, both the heap leach project and the
Huntoon Mine Area Cooperation Agreement will help move the group
from pure exploration towards commercial exploitation of the
resources which it has now established.
As always the Board and management greatly appreciate
shareholder support and look forward to reporting on an active
programme going forward.
