IN BRIEF: Great Western completes sampling at Pine Crow-Defender

5th Jan 2026 13:52

Great Western Mining Corp PLC - Nevada-focused gold, silver and copper explorer - Exploration team completes a machine-cut channel sampling programme over existing trenches at its Pine Crow-Defender tungsten prospect in Nevada's Mineral County. Says the work followed anomalous soil sampling results reported in October, and that the new samples have strong potential to confirm zones of broad and consistent tungsten mineralisation. "Initial observations from the trenching programme are highly encouraging and the samples have been dispatched to a laboratory for assay," Great Western says. "The results are expected during January and could be used in the design of an early drill programme."

Executive Chair Brian Hall comments: "2025 was a year of solid exploration progress...Our drilling campaigns at the West Huntoon copper prospect and the Rhyolite Dome gold prospect were completed as planned, with laboratory assays currently awaited. At West Huntoon and Defender-Pine Crow we have conducted extensive surface sampling...We have effectively strengthened our exposure to the minerals that are becoming increasingly important to domestic US supply chains, and we are eager to see the Pine Crow-Defender assay results. We will enter the new year well positioned to build on this momentum and unlock value across the portfolio."
