Open Offer to Shareholders

Great Western Mining Corporation plc
                                                (the "Company")

                                          Open Offer to Shareholders

The Company posted the following letter and application form to shareholders on 29 August 2009.

                                              CHAIRMAN'S LETTER.

Dear Shareholder,

As you would be aware from the recent annual report for 2008 sent to shareholders, and from the subsequent well
attended  annual  general  meeting, much progress has been made in raising the  exploration  profile  of  Great
Western Mining Corporation's mineral leases in Mineral County, Nevada.

On  receipt of a Competent Person's Report, your Directors have decided to move forward with the next phase  of
strategic lease acquisition, geophysical testing, mapping and a limited core drilling programme, with the  near
term objective of establishing a low cost heap leach operation from the high grade copper skarn deposits.

To  finance  this  expanded  exploration programme, the company is making an  open  offer  to  shareholders  of
15,000,000  new  shares at STG 14 pence per share to raise a maximum of £2,100,000 before expenses.  Terms  and
conditions of the open offer are contained in the attached memorandum.

As  in  all  exploration, this is a speculative venture and only those who can afford the risk involved  should
consider further investment.

Your  Directors believe our company has promising prospect with considerable upside potential and scope.  World
demand  for  industrial and precious metals as well as uranium continues to grow even in a  difficult  business
climate. Deposits of such in politically secure regions of the world should attract premium prices.

I look forward to corresponding with you again with an update before year end.

With best regards,

Sincerely,

Emmett O'Connell
Chairman.

                                     GREAT WESTERN MINING CORPORATION PLC
                                                ("the Company")
