Looking good now

[fund1] 12/1/2021 08:12

Still can't believe it's below 0.3 surely break that this week

Perfect bull storm brewing. Gold price rising nicely today.

[deltalo] 12/1/2021 07:32

Yeah, this going to be Great western's year. Progress towards being a full commercial operation will accelerate in the coming months, this will look a very cheap entry point by then.

[fund1] 12/1/2021 07:17

A good year too for anybody buying in at these prices

[deltalo] 12/1/2021 07:14

I have a feeling it's going to be a good day here.

This will catch fire soon enough but in the meantime will be happy with 2 steps forward 1 back and for it to keep creeping up till it does catch fire

its a bit like starting off in third gear.....have to be careful not to stall and it takes a while for momentum to build. We're getting past the stalling stage to rolling along....now with increased press coverage we will see more flock to advfn, lse, twitter and the like. It then becomes a matter of momentum and good news driving it along and upwards along with the share price.

Yep, some days are down days, I have a good feeling we're going to have an up day tomorrow.We're still invested in an excellent up and coming gold/silver producer, We all know the facts and the start of something very big, but there's many out there who don't "yet". The article just says it all really, and I'm very excited of what's about to materialize.We're very much under the radar, but I have a feeling that's all about to change. The proactive interview was also very positive and exciting to hear. https://youtu.be/KodYy3ftVHg

[fund1] 11/1/2021 20:42

SMALL CAP SHARE IDEAS: Strategic refocus towards gold drives Great Western Mining forward

By Ian Lyall At Proactive Investors For Thisismoney.co.uk
16:34 11 Jan 2021, updated 16:34 11 Jan 2021

Under the direction of chairman Brian Hall, Great Western Mining Corporation has ‘refocusedR17; its strategy.

Shelved (but not forgotten) is its interest in copper. Instead, the group is concentrating on gold and silver exploration and production in the aptly named Mineral County, Nevada.

Crucially, there is cash in the bank to achieve these ambitions. And judging by the share price, which has more than doubled in the last six months, the wider investing public appears to have bought into the new streamlined approach.

‘We've gone back to concentrate on gold which is great because the gold price is high,’ says Hall.

‘We've also looked at what we could do to get a get a bit of revenue through a business that has been spending money for the last 14 years or so.’

Mineral jackpot
Cash flows will come from re-processing spoil heaps from a cluster of historic mines on Great Western’s Mineral Jackpot area.

It is considering the construction of a crushing and gravity separation plant as a possible next step.

The optimal solution for maximising gold recovery would be a leaching facility which requires strict environmental approvals and while this is being worked on, gravity separation will be the likely route to get commercial output going.

At this stage, the economics around the spoil heap production are moot with recoveries, average grade and the daily production rate unknown.

However, Great Western has taken a step towards early output and cashflow with a modest gold and silver pour from test production from the spoil heaps.

Untapped potential
For the uninitiated, the area of Nevada in which Great Western is operating has been prolific for gold and silver.

Its 14,900 acres-worth of concessions all lie within the Walker Lane trend, which has yielded significant discoveries such as Comstock Lode, Yerington, Pumpkin Hollow and Isabella Pearl.

Because of the mountainous terrain, there are large tracts of land under licence to the company that are unexplored that could be appraised using modern techniques.

Hall and the team have set themselves an exploration target of 500,000-1.5million gold equivalent ounces from multiple prospects.

Historic geological reports have identified seven lodes, prospective for gold and silver on Mineral Jackpot, where previous exploration work has uncovered grades of up to 95.6 grams per tonne of the yellow metal.

It also has the Rock House (RH) gold-silver targets, where early exploration work has identified three new, unexplored mineralised zones.

Going for Olympic gold
And then there’s the Olympic Gold Project, over which Great Western has a four-year option to purchase.

The area was host to a now-disused mine that was ‘prolific with some good gold grades’, explains Hall.

The plan is to try to find a vein extension to the former mine, which crossed a fault line that Great Western’s geologists think dislocated the precious metal mineralisation. This is one of eight targets in the new area.

Olympic and RH will be drilled in 2021. ‘We should be able to do those next summer,’ says Hall. ‘Mineral Jackpot requires a different rig and the road to be finished.’

With around £2million in the bank, the group has more than enough to fulfil its ambitions next year.

M1 and M4 lead to copper
And, of course, there is still a copper play – the M2 and M4 projects and the M1 and M8 targets in Nevada.

One would have thought they’d have been a slam dunk for further exploration work in this period of sustained demand for the red metal.

‘The copper opportunity was always going to be long-term. And, crucially, I didn’t think we could develop it on our own,’ says Hall.

By their nature, copper discoveries require large investment (and a significant resource estimate) before they attract the investment from companies with the financial wherewithal to develop them.

Gold exploration a better use of resources
Great Western hasn’t written off the asset but has instead set up a data room for companies interested in developing them.

‘I’d be thrilled if someone came to us, but it’s not a priority,’ says Hall.

‘I believe trying to find precious metals is a much better way to spend our time and our shareholders’ money. I thought that from the very start; when I was a non-executive director and first went to Nevada in 2014.

‘Now I am running the company I hope to put it into practice.’

Been here too long to let a bit of a dip bother me

[brut winky] 11/1/2021 14:21

Not concerned at all, below average volume, probably some profit taking, that`s not for me just yet.

[bobdown2] 11/1/2021 14:18

Silverstone2 filtered.. another advfn prat..

[deltalo] 11/1/2021 14:16

Thanks for the warning but there's no chance others are having my share's on the cheap, news on the gold and silver lab results will be here soon and then they'll be ordering the new gravity separation plant just after. Next stage as said by Brian Hall is that great western's becomes a commercial producer. So I'll hold into my shares thanks, and anyone who sell well that's their loss I'm afraid. We shall soon see.

Minimum 20% down nearing and will be with you in a few days. Don’t say you didn’t get the warning lads
