Great Western Mining to start pilot production at Western Milling JV

(Sharecast News) - Great Western Mining announced on Thursday that pilot production at the Western Milling joint venture in Nevada was set to start, following an inspection by the Nevada State Inspector of Mines, scheduled for 16 January. The AIM-traded firm said that once the inspection was complete, the mill would conduct a trial run of material, with Great Western personnel present on-site for the operation.

In addition to the milestone, the company said it had made significant progress in copper exploration throughout 2024.

Efforts were focussed on advancing the potential for a large-scale porphyry system in the Huntoon Valley region.

Great Western said it had entered an acreage pooling agreement with a neighboring entity to enhance exploration at the Eastside Mine claims.

The company had also staked new claims targeting tungsten potential, and was planning an active exploration programme in 2025 to further its development efforts in Nevada's Walker Lane belt.

At 1115 GMT, shares in Great Western Mining Corporation were down 0.57% at 0.02p.
