The Phase 2 programme has completed 23 holes (M2-010 to 032) for a total of 14,000 feet, at an average depth per hole of 608 feet (185.3 metres). Great Western's Phase 1 drilling programme in 2013 completed nine holes (M2-001 to 009) for a total of 2,580 feet, at an average depth per hole of 286.7 feet (87.4 metres).

The Company expects to receive the final assay results from Bureau Veritas Inspectorate over the next three weeks. GWM's Consulting Geologist, Donald G Strachan, QP CPG, is expected to deliver his JORC compliant Phase 2 drilling report about a month after the receipt of the final assay results, after which the Company will make a further announcement.
