NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Great Western Mining Corporation PLC (AIM - GWMO, Euronext Growth - 8GW) advises that the Annual General Meeting ('AGM') of the Company will be held at 11.00 a.m. on 27^th May 2021 at Haresmead House, Foulkesmill, Wexford, Ireland.  Notice of the AGM will be mailed to shareholders today. 

It is not possible at this stage for the Company to predict the applicable COVID-19 restrictions on the day of the AGM and shareholders may not be able to attend or may be strongly discouraged from attending the meeting in person.  Shareholders may dial into the meeting using the telephone number and access code provided below and in the notice of meeting and listen to the proceedings.  The length of the meeting will also be greatly reduced as it will be limited to the formal business required. There will be no corporate presentation. Specific questions may be lodged by email to the Company care of Walbrook PR at [e-mail] and the Directors will endeavour to answer them during the question and answer part of the meeting.

Based on the latest available guidance, we expect the AGM to proceed on 27^th May 2021 but under constrained circumstances. Given the health risks, and Government recommendations on public gatherings, we encourage all shareholders on this occasion to submit their proxy forms as soon as possible to ensure their vote counts.  The deadline for submitting proxies remains 11 a.m. Tuesday 25^th May 2021. There are several ways for shareholders to exercise their right to vote remotely at the AGM:

· by submitting a validly completed proxy form to Computershare appointing the chair of the meeting as a proxy to vote on their behalf;

· by visiting www.eproxyappointment.com and submitting their proxy details; or

· by appointing a proxy as set out in the Voting Instructions on pages 4 and 5 in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.

Given the meeting restrictions in place the Board encourages shareholders to ensure they appoint the chair of the meeting as their proxy rather than a third party who may not be able to attend.
