. Six new claim blocks staked to cover Pine Crow and Defender tungsten workings
· Previous grab highlights from these claims of 2,590, 2,430 and 1,600 ppm tungsten
· Separate area of prospectivity identified 9 km to the southwest
Great Western Mining Corporation PLC (AIM - GWMO, Euronext Growth - 8GW), which is exploring and developing gold, silver and copper targets in the Walker Lane belt of Nevada, USA, announces three tungsten targets over both newly staked and existing claims in Mineral County, Nevada.
Great Western Chairman Brian Hall commented: "Our extensive claims in the Walker Lane Belt of Nevada are rich in many minerals. Over the last two years we have reacted to copper being designated a critical mineral in the USA, revisited our copper prospects and have reported, with independent verification, the possibility of a copper play on a far larger scale than the resource we have already established through drilling in the same area.."Tungsten has also been officially designated a critical mineral in the USA and in light of this we have revisited known areas of elevated tungsten which were highlighted during our recent exploration programmes. Having thoroughly reviewed all the data for tungsten on our claims, both historical and recent, there is strong evidence of the metal in two separate claim areas. To move this forward, in recent days we have staked and registered six new claims contiguous to our existing claims and encapsulating two old tungsten mines. We will be working on the data further over the winter months and planning a programme of works for the 2025 season.Introduction:In the light of recent political developments which emphasise the need for new domestic tungsten resources in the United States, Great Western has undertaken a review of the tungsten prospectivity on and adjoining its existing claims, with positive results. Tungsten is included on the list of critical minerals as determined by the US Department of the Interior, while copper is identified as a critical material for energy by the US Department of Energy.Two separate former tungsten workings historically known as Pine Crow and Defender, sit close to the northern edge of Great Western's Black Mountain claims (Figures 1 & 2). In recent days the Company has staked and registered six new claims which cover both Pine Crow and Defender. Separately, a 600 m long east-west tungsten-in-soils anomaly is evident in the southern part of the Company's Jack Springs claim group, approximately 9 km to the southwest of the workings described above (Figure 1 & 3). This anomaly is parallel to and overlies a linear magnetic high.
