FURTHER STOCK DIVIDENDS:-
The Company will be declaring further Stock Dividends as promised, but has elected to wait until the existing Stock Dividend reconciliation and postage of those Share Certificates is completed.
These additional three Stock Dividends will be in the new PLC Holding Companies for each of:-
Treasure Kingdom Gold Mining Limited which owns the "Treasure King" Gold Project.
Monstro Verde Mining Limited which owns the "Yaba" Gold Project.
Copper Mountain Mining Limited which owns the "Copper Mountain" Copper Project.
LISTING OF THE PLC MINING COMPANIES:-
It is the intention of this Company to admit each of the PLC Mining Companies for trading on an OTC Exchange in Europe and to then seek a "dual listing" for each company on the OTC Pink Sheets but the Company feels that this will not be prudent until such time as each of these Companies has completed the appointment of independent Management as well the appointment of independent Non Executive Directors to the various Boards of Directors.
WESTERN DIVERSIFIED MINING RESOURCES, INC. ("Western"):
Great West Gold, Inc. holds a 71.43% in Western. The Company is at time, in negotiations to acquire the balance of the stock (28.57%) in Western that the Company does not own, thereby making Western a wholly owned subsidiary Company of Great West Gold, Inc.
Western owns 1,075,000,220 Ordinary Shares (circa 48%) of each of :
Bouse Mining Holdings plc, Ambassador Gold Holdings plc, Copperstone Mining Holdings plc, Golden Eagle Mining Holdings plc and Sentinel Resource Holdings plc.
Shareholders will be kept appraised of developments in this acquisition.
CORPORATE WEB SITE:-
The Company has just launched a new web site, www.greatwestgold.com. Updates to this web site are ongoing but the Company expects to complete the upload of the data within days. This site is updated with all of relevant data on the Company and we are of the opinion that it is more "investor friendly" and will, within days, provide investors with all the Company data that they require. The Company will be making live Level II Data on the stock price available on the web site. The Company would be grateful for input from shareholders as to any additional "content" that they would wish to be available on the Company's web site.
STATUS OF THE COMPANY ON THE OTC PINK SHEETS:-
The Company is, at this time, classed as "Non Reporting". The Company will be appointing a new Auditor and will be filing its outstanding Form 10-KSB for the period ending December 31, 2005, its Form 10 QSB for the period ending March 31, 2006 and its Form 10 QSB for the period ending June 30, 2006. Once these outstanding filings are made, the Company will then continue as a "Reporting" Company quoted on the OTC Pink Sheets Market and thereafter will take the necessary steps to apply for a reinstatement to the OTC BB Market. Management is not at this time, promising any time frame for these corporate actions but will endeavor to do so as fast is reasonably possible.
MANAGEMENT OUTLOOK:-
Management of the Company is focusing on the following in the immediate term:
-- Completing the new updated Corporate Web Site
-- Completing the postage of the Stock Dividends to eligible stockholders
-- Complete the acquisition of the outstanding stock in Western
Diversified Mining Resources, Inc.
-- Appointing Management to the five PLC Gold Companies
-- Ensuring that investors understand the structure of the Company and
the value of its Mining Assets and improving shareholder relations
And in the Short to Medium term intends to focus on:
-- The creation of additional value for shareholders
-- The completion of the three additional Stock Dividends
-- The acquisition of further Mining Assets
-- The admission of the PLC Companies to a recognized Stock Exchange.
The significant increase in Commodity prices, primarily in Gold, Silver and Copper; have dramatically increased the valuation of the Group's Mining Assets. This will also contribute to a successful "fund raising" exercise for each of the PLC Mining Companies "going forward". Management of your Company is fairly convinced that these Commodity prices are not only sustainable in the short to medium term but that the price of Gold in particular, will continue to rise.
