                                    UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL RESULTS
                                 FOR THE 6 MONTH PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

The Directors of Great Western Mining Corporation Plc are pleased to announce the interim financial results
for the six month period ended June 2008.

Highlights
    *       The Company has extended its area under claim to 7.4 square kilometres.

    *       Bulk Sample Tests on Ming Toy discovery reported:

                 0.35% to 0.45% Uranium
                 5.25 oz. of silver per ton
                 0.144 oz. of gold per ton

    *       At current prices this would yield in the region of $700 per short ton, assuming 100% recovery.

    *       The Company was chosen "The Best Resource Share" of 2008 on the PLUS Market in London.

Developments
Over the past three years the Company has assembled a thorough, in-depth geological and historical data
base focused on the area of our interest in west central Nevada. This database has been augmented by
extensive field work and laboratory testing which determined the Company's selection of acreage under
claim.
In addition to the Ming Toy uranium discovery (with associated gold and silver values), a number of base
metal copper and lead prospects have been identified.
A Competent Persons Report is being assembled as we go to print and should be available shortly. It is
expected to recommend a detailed drilling programme designed to determine the extent of the Ming Toy ore
deposit.

Notes to Editor:

Great Western Mining Corporation plc is an Irish based exploration company, quoted on the PLUS Market. The
company, which concentrates on gold, silver and uranium exploration,  is  based  in
Nevada, USA. Its headquarters are in Dublin.

The Great Western Mining Corporation holds 89 gold, silver and uranium lode claims in the area near
Marietta, Mineral County, Nevada. This US state consistently ranks as one of the leading geologically
prospective and pro-mining legal jurisdictions in the world today. Crucially, it is also extremely stable
from a geo-political perspective.

Furthermore, as nuclear power usage expands rapidly across the globe, demand or the world's limited uranium
resources will expand rapidly, pushing up the price for uranium ore.

The company plans to build a varied portfolio of uranium ore claims in politically secure areas.
