Great Western Chairman Brian Hall commented: "I am very pleased to advise shareholders that our fully funded drill programme has now commenced ahead of schedule, with the first hole nearing completion at West Huntoon. This marks the beginning of an exciting campaign to unlock the copper and precious metals potential of our claims in this highly prospective region. With drilling advancing at our high-priority targets at West Huntoon and work at Rhyolite Dome to follow at key locations defined by recent IP data, we are well positioned to deliver meaningful results.
