Our Strategy

Gold & Silver Potential

There are numerous gold and silver prospects on Great Western’s ground, including extensive historic mine workings which provide an opportunity for secondary recovery.

In 2024 Great Western exercised an option to purchase the Olympic Gold project in the east of Mineral County, which comprises multiple gold and silver prospects.

Take a look at our projects & claims section to explore each group or visit our news section to see the latest updates.

Copper Potential

Through 5,000 metres of drilling, Great Western has established a JORC compliant Indicated and Inferred Resource of 4.3 million tonnes at 0.45% copper (19,000 tonnes contained copper). Since then, the copper story has expanded from the original resource to the adjacent West Huntoon area where soil and grab sampling, mapping, the discovery of a significant granite outcrop and a geophysical (IP) survey have contributed to establishing a porphyry setting which the Company believes to have the potential to be a major new copper mine. 

A second porphyry setting 11 miles to the southeast has also been established at the Company’s Eastside Mine claims, which have now been pooled with neighbouring claims held by Bronco Creek Exploration, Inc.
