DECLARATION OF 30% STOCK DIVIDEND:

FURTHER CORPORATE ACTIONS AND ACQUISITIONS:
As announced on August 30, 2006, the Company will be announcing (this week), the acquisition of four additional Copper properties, nine additional Gold interests, one of these properties being very substantial and a further property with Uranium potential.
The costs of these acquisitions will not be primarily funded through the issue of Common Stock but through Convertible Loan Notes to avoid further dilution of stockholders' interests at the current low stock price.
These acquisitions will serve to increase the value of the Company's assets by 150%.
COMPANY STOCK PRICE AND EXPLORATION PLANS:
The Company notes stockholder concerns in respect of its ridiculously low stock price which grossly undervalues the value of the Company's portfolio of assets.
The Company is determined to demonstrate the value of its assets to the market and to this end, has commissioned detailed reports of each of its Mining Projects to ascertain their true value and to accelerate exploration plans on certain of these Mining Projects. Shareholders will be kept updated on these developments and full information on each and every Mining Project in your Company's portfolio will be made publicly available as they become available. The Company expects the first Reports to be made available next week and this exercise to be completed within six weeks.
FURTHER FUND RAISING:
The Company is in discussions to obtain additional working capital in the amount of US$2,000,000 to facilitate and expedite its plans. Once these details have finalized, stockholders will be informed. This is expected to completed within the next two weeks.
OUTSTANDING STOCK DIVIDENDS:
The Company is continuing, as promised, to complete the distribution of the Stock Dividends in Bouse Mining Holdings plc, Ambassador Gold Holdings plc, Sentinel Resources plc, Golden Eagle Mining Holdings plc and in Copperstone Mining Holdings plc to eligible shareholders of Great West Gold, Inc.
The Company has retained the services of a USA Transfer Agent to expedite these Stock Dividends and to overcome the "Broker Street Name" problem, the Company will now longer be using the services of the UK Transfer Agent.

LISTING OF THE PLC MINING COMPANIES:-
The Company has advised stockholders that 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.
The Company is making significant progress in these appointments.
CORPORATE WEB SITE:-
The Company launched an updated web site, www.greatwestgold.com. Updates to this web site are ongoing but the Company has completed the upload of most of the relevant data.

Once these outstanding filings are made, the Company will then continue as a "Reporting" Company quoted on the OTC Pink Sheets Market and will immediately thereafter 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. The Company expects to announce the appointment of a new Auditor next week.
MANAGEMENT OUTLOOK:-
Management of the Company is focusing on the following in the immediate term, which still remains a priority:
- 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
- The completion of the three additional Stock Dividends
- The acquisition of further Mining Assets
And in the Short to Medium term intends to focus on:
- The creation of additional value for shareholders
- 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.
