Great Western Mining

About Us

Great Western Mining Corporation PLC is a mineral exploration and development company, incorporated in Ireland with operations in the USA. Its shares are traded on AIM (GWMO) in London and Euronext Growth (8GW) in Dublin.

The Company has a large tract of acreage in Mineral County, Nevada, hosted by the regional Walker Lane Structural Belt, the largest structural and metallogenic belt in Nevada, yet one of the least explored in recent times.

Eight groups of claim have potential for exploiting (1) short term gold and silver deposits (2) long-term world-class copper deposits and (3) tungsten deposits.

All Great Western’s claims are in Mineral County, Nevada and are currently 100% owned.

A small exploration team is supported by locally based consultants and contractors

Snapshot

  • Exploration for gold and silver on existing claims to establish a commercial resource
  • Appraisal of significant copper potential where an initial resource has already been established
  • Early-stage exploration for tungsten based around two historic mines
  • Exploitation of previously mined material to achieve early gold and silver sales

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.

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.
