Highlights
· New claims staked on the back of positive exploration results
· Resistivity survey has confirmed anomalies which may indicate shallow copper mineralisation
· Commencement of trading on AIM and on the Irish Stock Exchange
· Double Prospect (A4) Encouraging results from trench sampling exercise
· Encouraging indications on M2; indications of near surface copper oxide over extensive area
Emmett O'Connell, Chairman, Commented:
"We are encouraged with the progress of Great Western Mining in 2011. As a result of our share Placing and the funds raised we were able to continue with a comprehensive exploratory programme. The results we have obtained from continued exploration showing the significant presence of copper, silver and gold mineralisation on our claims are extremely encouraging, and have been verified by independent experts. The prospects for the Company as we move forwards with our exploration programme are looking very positive and we are confident that considerable progress can be made in 2012."

Chairman's Statement
2011 was a year of Corporate and Exploration development. Your Company's area under claim rose from 435 individual 20-acre claims to 896 claims, all 100% working interest. This makes Great Western Mining Corporation, our wholly owned and Nevada incorporated subsidiary, one of the largest prospective land holders in the Marietta area, with about 73 sq km. In the third quarter of 2011, following a Placing to raise £1,000,000, the Company's application for admission to the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange was approved and trading in the Company's shares began on 18th August. Given the Company's historical links with Ireland and the high percentage of Irish shareholders, on 18th October, the Company's shares were admitted to trading on the Enterprise Securities Market (ESM) of the Irish Stock Exchange.
Determined to maintain our exploration programme despite a tight budget, horizontal trench sampling and geological testing were undertaken in early 2012 on the area known as the "Double Prospect" or "A4" in place of shallow core hole drilling. This represented the most efficient use of funds in terms of geological information retrieved. The analysis of samples taken was very encouraging and may be viewed on the Company's website.
Some market comment has been made regards the values of copper in the horizontal trenching campaign relative to reported "grab samples" recorded in earlier surface samples. This is discussed more fully in the Chief Executive Officer's report. Suffice to say here that the two sampling methods are not directly comparable given the different methodology employed.
Emboldened by the results on Phase One, the Company's team of Directors and specialist contractors turned to the adjoining Prospect ("M2") to determine if the geological mineralisation was similar. This phase is still underway as we go to press, but early indications are encouraging. Geological sampling and mapping give indications of near surface copper oxide mineralisation running 1,200 metres in length and 120 metres wide running down the spine of the prospect. In addition to possible shallow oxide copper deposits, it is intended to test for deeper sulphide copper values, which have been highlighted by the Induced Polarisation survey, in due course.
No further work has been carried out on our already reported uranium discovery covered extensively in previous years. It is being held as an asset by the Company. The Company also holds a number of attractive precious metal prospects in its registered claim holdings. Your Directors have however, concentrated the Company's financial resources on its copper and copper/silver prospects as the most likely to yield early production, joint venture, or cash flow potential.
The Road Ahead
A Competent Person's Report is being currently drafted which will update the work carried out up to June 2012. Last year's (June 2011) CPR gave the following
Potential Target Models
|
Model |
Mass Tons |
Grade |
|
Disseminated Silver |
25 Million |
102.9 g/t Ag |
|
Disseminated Oxide Copper |
25 Million |
0.6 % Cu |
|
Epithermal Silver Vein |
3 Million |
514.3 g/t Ag |
The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource, but your management and consultants are working on this. Of the seven specific targets itemised by our early JPL-NASA Satellite Imagery, Aero & Surface Magnetic Studies, and Induced Polarity Program, only two have been ground tested and explored in the past year. Your Board of Directors believe that a joint venture business plan may be the most effective development strategy for a non-revenue generating exploration company. By adopting such a plan, the Company accepts a certain dilution in an exploration property rather than dilution to our existing shareholders in all our prospects. GWM holds 100% working interest in all seven existing prospects, any one of which may hold an attraction to another mining company willing to pay for development expenses to discovery or abandonment in return for part interest. A mineral discovery on any prospect in our portfolio even at a 50% participation level, will translate meaningfully into shareholder value through tighter shareholder structure in remaining prospects.
Although early days yet, studies are underway examining the efficacy of installing a heap leach copper recovery system in the area of the Company's interest. This would be a medium term development in terms of funding and timing. It is important therefore, to keep in mind that 100% of Great Western Mining Corporation's efforts and mining assets are located in the mining friendly and politically secure environment of Nevada, U.S.A., just 10 miles or so from the California border with access to modern highway systems and rail connections to Pacific Ocean Ports. It is worth remembering that one customer, China, takes 40% of world copper production outside China.
Think Big.

Chief-Executive's Statement
Great Western has made solid and encouraging progress during 2011, providing definitive evidence of the extent of mineralisation occurring over the staked claims of the Company. Results from geological field work have continually reinforced expectations that the Great Western claims could harbour significant amounts of commercially recoverable copper.
2011 saw the Company prepare to move from PLUS Markets to AIM; this involved the small management team in much preparatory work right up to the start of AIM trading in August. Even so, 2011 saw your Company extend its claims under licence from 412 up to 896, covering approximately 73 square kilometres, and conduct extensive geological surveying.
Besides further prospecting and sampling, the methods used included; ASTER imaging interpretation and low level aero magnetic data interpretation together with infrared spectral imaging. Following these interpretations Zonge Geosciences were retained to run two IP-Resistivity Grids covering selected targets from the previously identified total of seven. The independent report, compiled by Chris Luwig, Consulting Geophysicist, reiterated that buried IP anomalies were identified below each target and are of such a character as to warrant further priority geological study and a drilling programme on targets M2 and 4, before moving on to the other five targets. Target M2 closely correlates with a buried source magnetic high and a copper skarn environment is certainly a plausible explanation. Target 4 has a buried IP anomaly suggestive of sulphide mineralisation which could host precious metals although a copper porphyry system cannot be ruled out. (The full report can be found on the Great Western Mining website).
These interpretations and reports have greatly encouraged the Great Western team and based upon the recommendations the 2012 field campaign was devised. The Company had previously considered a very limited drilling campaign on one target but upon reconsideration decided to conduct some trenching, geological mapping and soil surveys as the means to gather further relevant data in the most economical manner. This will move us significantly forward from the visually selected grab sampling conducted in widespread locations over the 896 claims. This grab sampling was to identify possible mineralisation and generally returned high grades.
The soil, trench and outcrop sampling require the geologists to plan a grid over the target area and take the specific material that they find at the precise grid locations irrespective of their visual evaluation. These processes are specifically designed to assist in identification of the geological structures in the effort to determine the extent and precise locations of the mineralisation. This naturally leads to a wide variation in results compared with the grab sampling.
Post year end has seen the completion of the target 4 preliminary geological mapping by independent geologist, Donald Strachan. His report confirms the findings of Bill Cohan and in some respects can be considered more encouraging. He has recommended extending the Company's area under licence by staking a further 67 claims to cover a previously unidentified extension of the anomaly westwards underground. He is now in the process of completing his preliminary geological survey of M2, soil survey and the outcrop mapping of Target 4. The Company also commissioned further ground geophysics on target 4 to be performed by Zonge Geosciences. On completion of the report, which will identify the optimum drilling locations and angles, a planning application will be prepared and submitted. The drilling campaign is likely to comprise 1500 metres of core drilling on Target 4 subject to availability of funding.
The prospects for Great Western Mining as a result of previous and continued successful exploration are extremely promising. Evidence of copper, silver and gold mineralisation is very strong and this has certainly proved encouraging as we move forward in 2012 and the Company continues to shore up resources and stake new claims. A post year end report has been produced by Donald Strachan, which reaffirms the findings as displayed in the Competent Person's Report of June 2011. With studies now underway to evaluate the concept of creating a heap leach copper operation in the immediate vicinity of the Company's claims, 2012 will see Great Western progress to new levels on its exploration and mining journey.
As at the start of June 2012, the Company had cash deposits of approximately £280,000. In the coming six months we hope to have published the preliminary study on M2; soil sampling results and outcrop mapping on A4 with application planning for pilot drilling. Moreover, provided that new funds are raised, drilling will commence on A4.

Notes:
1. Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that Great Western Mining Corporation Plc will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
The validity of this assumption depends on the following:
The Directors intend to raise additional finance during 2012. This additional funding will be used to continue the exploration programme and to fund the administrative expenses of the Company and the Group.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result if the additional capital is not raised. Whilst taking into consideration the uncertainties described above, the Directors believe that it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis.
2. Segment Information
In the opinion of the Directors the operations of the group comprise one class of business, being the exploration and mining for copper, silver, gold and other minerals. The group's main operations are located within Nevada, USA. The information reported to the Group's chief operating decision maker for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment is specifically focussed on the exploration areas in Nevada. In the opinion of the Directors the Group has only one reportable segment under IFRS 8 'Operating Segments,' which is exploration carried out in Nevada.
Information regarding the Group's reportable segments is presented below.
