FURTHER INFORMATION RE: OPEN OFFER TO SHAREHOLDERS

10 September 2009

                               GREAT WESTERN MINING CORPORATION PLC
                                     (The "Company" or "GWMC")

                        FURTHER INFORMATION RE: OPEN OFFER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Due  to  the  level  of  interest, the Directors of the Company have been  unable  to  accommodate
invitations  from a number of London based institutions, to make presentations in connection  with
the  recent  open  offer within the closing schedule as originally announced. The  Directors  have
therefore decided to extend the closing date to 5.00pm on the 30th day of September 2009.

The  Directors have also resolved that in the event that the current offer is oversubscribed, they
will  not  extend  the additional "Green Shoe" allotment of 1,500,000 shares over  and  above  the
maximum figure of 15,000,000 shares.

Also, it has come to the notice of the Company that there has been a printer's error on page  four
of  the  Open Offer Application Form. Please note that although the numbers are correct  the  Euro
sign  (EURO)  should  be  removed from before "Authorised Share Capital  EURO  100,000,000"  and
"Issued Share Capital EURO 26,752,000".

A  letter to shareholders informing them of the information above will be posted tomorrow  to  the
shareholders to whom the original Chairman's Letter and Application Form relating to the Company's
Open  Offer  to  Shareholders was posted on 29 August 2009. The letter that will be sent  tomorrow
will be available free of charge at the following locations:
