                                           ('GWM' or the 'Company')

                                          Withdrawal From PLUS-quoted

Further to the announcement made on 4 August 2011, the Company has made an application for admission to the AIM
Market  of  London Stock Exchange plc ("AIM").  The Company's Board has today decided to withdraw the Company's
ordinary shares of EURO 0.01 each (the "Ordinary Shares") from PLUS-quoted.

The  Directors  believe  that  the move to AIM is a necessary step in the Company's  development,  due  to  the
Company's  increased funding needs. The Directors further believe that access to a wider pool of  investors  is
necessary to support the Company's exploration plans.

The  Company's Ordinary Shares will be withdrawn from trading on PLUS-quoted from the close of business  on  17
August  2011, and it is expected that the Company's Ordinary Shares will be admitted to trading on AIM at  8.00
a.m.  on  18  August  2011. The Company's AIM Admission Document will be published on  the  Company's  website,
www.greatwesternmining.com, on the day of admission to AIM.

THE DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONTENTS OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT

                                                  ---ENDS---
