Looking ahead, the Company has a lot to do on its wide spread of claims in the Walker Lane Belt of Nevada, which offer the potential not only for large scale copper deposits but also for gold and silver in the vicinity of numerous historic mining areas. Constructive field work during and since the reporting period is consolidating work already done and continuously building a clearer picture of this potential. Initiatives will continue to develop a partnership for a major drilling campaign to delineate a copper porphyry. At the Western Milling joint venture, with the all-important environmental permit now secured, first production of gold and silver concentrates is in sight, despite some technical delays which are not uncharacteristic for this type of project and are currently being dealt with. The identification of a second porphyry setting at Eastside Mine and the recent Pooling Agreement with Bronco Creek Exploration add a significant new leg to the copper story and help build the picture of a potential new copper district which, if proved up, will have Great Western at its heart. Few new major copper mines have been discovered in recent times and a decarbonising world will become highly dependent on copper, as electrification progressively replaces hydrocarbons for the world's energy needs. All Great Western's business activities are interesting, but the confirmation of a major copper discovery would be of the highest significance for the Company.
