Half-year Report

28 Sep 2016 07:00

RNS Number : 0008L
Great Western Mining Corp. plc
28 September 2016
 

Great Western Mining Corporation PLC

("Great Western Mining", "GWM", the "Group" or the "Company")

 

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 €252,881

· 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 €252,881 (30 June 2015: €98,211). As at 30 June 2016, the Company had net current assets of €505,435 (30 June 2015: €1,214,212). 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.
