Great Western Mining Corporation, a strategic minerals explorer focused on Nevada, has reported assay results from four machine-cut channel samples at its Defender-Pine Crow project in Mineral County that support a two-to-three kilometre corridor of tungsten mineralisation.
The April 2026 sampling programme returned tungsten trioxide (WO3) grades including 27 metres at 0.15% WO3 from Channel C, with a higher-grade interval of 11 metres at 0.25% WO3, and 18 metres at 0.15% WO3 from Channel F, which also returned silver credits of 2 metres at 17.6 grams per tonne and 2 metres at 10.1 grams per tonne.
Molybdenum concentrations, which can impair tungsten processing, were recorded at very low levels across all channels.
Infill rock chip sampling between Defender Mine and the company's M2 copper resource extends the interpreted tungsten trend a further kilometre west from Pine Crow through the historic Widowmaker Mine.
"Additional machine-cut channelling in April 2026 has confirmed broad and significant tungsten mineralisation at the historic Dough God and Pine Crow Mines," said CEO Ed Loye, adding that the results "provide important guidance for our maiden drilling campaign beginning in a few weeks' time."
The fully permitted maiden reverse circulation drilling programme, targeting 7,000 feet, is expected to commence within weeks.
