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.
