Great West Gold, Inc. -- 'Bouse' Gold Property Assessment
NEW YORK, Oct. 26, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Great West Gold, Inc. (Pink Sheets:GWGO) announced that it would be providing stockholders will more detailed data on its various Mining Exploration Projects in order for stockholders to gain a better insight into the value of the Company. Great West Gold, Inc. confirms that the Chairman of its Advisory Committee, Dr. Wayne P Colliston, is continuing with the re-assessment of Great West Gold, Inc.'s Mining assets, and to that end, is releasing this report, compiled in August, 2004 on the 1,300 acre Bouse gold (silver -- copper) property situated in the La Paz area of western Arizona, USA, near the California border. Dr. Colliston is preparing an updated report on this property at this time and upon its completion, this report will be made available to our stockholders.
Dr. Colliston reports that the mineralising event at Bouse was a mid-Tertiary epithermal event, causing complex mineralization of gold, fluorite, barite, and associated metals into previous copper-specularite mineralization. The prime cause was regional crustal extension along the Plomosa Fault, just north of the Plomosa Mountains, which has now been identified as a detachment fault. The "detachment fault" style of deposit is best seen at Copperstone, the biggest gold discovery in Arizona in the past 50 years, where 500,000 oz of gold was profitably by Cyprus Gold in the open pit there. The Mesquite mine is another of this type.
Mineralization at Bouse is located primarily below the fault trace, in the lower plate, in pre-Cambrian rocks older than 1 billion years. Mineralization is found both in steeply dipping quartz veins and in laterally extensive breccia zones. The nature of these structures and associated mineralization over almost all of the 1,300 acres suggest further potential for major detachment fault gold deposits, and other deposits associated with this style of mineralization.
The Bouse area is an historic gold producer, with the Little Butte open pit and underground mines as known producers. Importantly, the historical grade recovered here averaged over 0.4 oz/ton. Around 2/3 of this production was from the Little Butte Mine, where the Arizona Department of Mines and Mineral Resources has recorded that the results of a 16-hold drilling programme showed about 5 million tons of inferred ore grading between 0.05 and 0.30 oz/ton.
Others areas of interest within the Company's 1,300 acres are the Brindle Claims, the high grade Arrastre Mine, the Blue Slate Mine and the Flat Fault Mine.
At the gold price of approximately US$400/oz (in August 2004), this provides a value estimate for the deposit in the range of up to $600 million. This estimated gold resource is for the little Butte area only, and does not include any potential from the remainder of the property. At the current Gold price of circa US$600/oz, the revised and updated valuation report being prepared by Dr Colliston, will be significantly higher.
Located just north of the Plomosa Fault, The Bouse Property includes 3 historical mines and almost 1,300 acres of project area, with significant inferred reserves of Gold, Silver and Copper. The Burnt Well Property also includes an historical mine within the project area which covers 640 acres which includes inferred reserves of Gold, Silver and Copper.
Local Geology
Bouse Property, a Mid-Tertiary system of epithermal mineralization was introduced into a stacked sequence of lithotectonic units that are located on the northern side of the Plomosa Detachment Fault. Complex epithermal gold, barite and fluorite mineralization is superimposed on earlier copper-specularite mineralization. Gold occurs in laterally extensive breccias and in steeply dipping amethystine-quartz veins. Past district production (over 2/3 of which was from the Little Butte Mine) averaged over .4 oz/T gold. Strong likelihood of a major detachment fault associated gold/copper deposit, similar to the proven and mined Copperstone and Mesquite deposits. Past drilling by Tenneco, U.S. Borax and Homestake found significant gold bearing intervals in both the breccias and high angle structures.
Burnt Well Property, the regional geological setting is a major detachment fault (called the "Bullard Detachment Fault") separating an upper plate of Tertiary siltstone/sandstone and conglomerate from a lower plate of Precambrian mylonitic gneiss. In the vicinity of the Silver Lining Mine, the upper plate is intensely altered and shattered. The sedimentary rocks on the mine dump contain hematite, chrysacolla, calcite and sparse manganese oxides. Gold, Silver and Copper mineralization is found in the altered sedimentary rocks. The principal outcrop at the Silver Lining Mine is approximately 40 to 80 meters from the detachment fault. There is a strong likelihood of a major gold/copper deposit, similar to the proven and mined Copperstone and Mesquite deposits. The Burnt Well is a "grass roots" project that has been overlooked by numerous major mining companies during the most recent exploration boom in La Paz County.
Project Summary
The Bouse Project involves an important new type of Arizona gold deposit, called a "detachment fault" deposit. Detachment fault deposits were first recognized as a separate form of gold deposit in the 1980's. Enclosed within this pack is an article by noted Arizona geologist Joe Wilkins Sr., which describes the leading theory about how they formed. The best example of an Arizona detachment gold deposit is Copperstone, which is about 20 miles from Bouse. It was the biggest gold discovery in Arizona in at least 50 years. Cyprus Gold profitably mined the 500,000 oz open pit resource during the 1980's. American Bonanza is presently doing underground drilling. It looks like the underground high grade resource is even larger. Enclosed are some materials on the Copperstone for your general information on its history and American Bonanza's present activities there, which are the major news in Arizona gold exploration at this time. Unlike Copperstone, Bouse is an historic gold producer. 5,000 ounces were produced from high grade ore early in the 20th century. It was also worked as an underground copper mine. Most of this production was from the Little Butte Mine, which is the centrepiece of our land position.
Starting in the 1980's there has been a lot of exploration work at Bouse. Per Arizona Department of Mines and Mineral Resources records, prior to 1983 a 16 hole drill program blocked out 5,000,000 tons of material ranging from .05 to .30 ounces gold per ton. These drill-holes were in the immediate vicinity of the Little Butte underground mine and the Little Butte open pit. The drill hole locations are indicated as drill holes of an "Unknown" exploration company on the enclosed Homestake Mining map.
Next, Fischer Watt exploration, a well regarded company based in Butte, Montana, leased the Little Butte mine. They estimated the resource more conservatively, at 2,000,000 tons of .07 ounce per ton rock. They drilled exactly one 290 foot hole near the Little Butte underground mine and encountered 7 gold bearing intervals.
Tenneco then took over the project. They drilled 17 holes and found gold bearing intervals in 10 of them. Not only did Tenneco find gold at the Little Butte underground mine and open pit, but they also found gold at the Arrastre Mine, the Blue Slate Mine and the Flat Fault Mine, all of which are included in our project.
During 1984 U.S. Borax drilled 18 holes in the pediment to the west of the historic mining district along the inferred course of the Plomosa detachment fault. Three of these holes met with success. We have a lot of material from this project, and it is included for your review. These are the packets and maps from Corn & Ahearn and PCMI. While we have not viewed this area as a high priority, some of it has been included in our present land position.
Starting in 1987, Homestake Mining leased the central part of the district (called the Brindle claims -- these are the core of our present land position) and acquired an option to purchase the smaller patented group to the west called the Paradise Mine, which is not included in our project. Homestake drilled over 50 holes over a 4 year period. They found significant gold mineralization everywhere that Tenneco did at the Little Butte mine and open pit, the Blue Slate Mine and the Flat Fault Mine. They also put down seven drill holes in the vicinity of the detachment fault. Enclosed is a pack which we obtained from Barrick which includes all of Homestake's drill logs and assay results. The map at the rear section entitled "Alteration, Mineralization and Drill Holes" includes all of the drill information for the previous work by Fischer Watt, US Borax and Tenneco.
What does the future hold for this gold deposit? While a gold deposit this big will take a substantial amount of work to turn into a large proven reserve, this should be a simple and straight forward effort if the drill programs focus on the core deposit, rather than concentrating on peripheral areas. The core deposit may be visualized as an inverted "V" with the Little Butte underground mine near the apex, the Little Butte open pit, Flat Fault mine and Blue Slate mine along the left leg, and the Airfield deposit at the bottom of the right leg. If, as we believe, the entire area of the inverted "V" turns out to be a mineable open pit resource this would be a far larger gold deposit than the 1,000,000 +/- oz Copperstone, and may be closer to the 10,000,000 oz size of the Mesquite mine, which is another detachment fault deposit in California.
Another high priority area is the granite block located within the confines of the inverted "V." There is high grade gold mineralization at the Arrastre Mine, which is near the southern end of the granite block about 4,000 feet south of the Little Butte underground mine. Homestake did not even bother to map this area in detail, which is surprising given the extensive surface shows of copper oxide and the abundant quartz.
Also included are the two major geological reports on the district. (1) The Jemmett report, from 1966, is included because it gives some good descriptions of the individual mines. While Jemmett is not very enthusiastic about the mineral possibilities of the district, his report predates the discovery of the detachment fault model of gold mineralization, which turned Western Arizona into a "hot" area for mineral exploration. (2) The second report by Duncan was funded by Homestake. An important conclusion (p.37) is that the high gold and copper values are in a NE/SW band corresponding to the left leg of the inverted "V" referred to above.
Included with the projects is the Burnt Well property, also located in La Paz County. We have acquired about 640 acres along the Bullard detachment fault in the vicinity of the Silver Lining Mine, and plan to add at least another 480 acres. While Cominco drilled the Bullard deposit to the east along this fault, Burnt Well escaped the attention of the majors during the 1980's gold exploration boom. A limited amount of material is included from the Arizona Geological Survey and the Arizona Department of Mines and Mineral Resources. Preliminary surface sampling shows similar grade (approximately .1 oz gold per ton) as the open pit resource at Copperstone. There is no recorded production for this district. However, from the size of the dumps, it is obvious that there must have been substantial production in the past.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Great West Gold, Inc. (Pink Sheets:GWGO) announced that it would be providing stockholders with more detailed data on its various Mining Exploration Projects in order for stockholders to gain a better insight into the value of the Company. Great West Gold, Inc. confirms that the Chairman of its Advisory Committee, Dr Wayne P Colliston, is continuing with the re-assessment of Great West Gold, Inc.'s Mining assets, and to that end, is releasing this report, compiled in August, 2004 on the "Mockingbird" gold (silver - copper) property. Dr Colliston is preparing an updated report on this property at this time and upon its completion, this report will be made available to our stockholders. This is the second report being released by the Company, the first having been the "Bouse" Gold Mining Project, the details of which were announced last week.
At the gold price of approximately US$400/oz (in August 2004), this provides a value estimate for the deposit in the range of up to $400 million. The estimated gold resource does not include the potential of the 16 gold placers identified on the property. At the current Gold price of circa US$600/oz, the revised and updated valuation report being prepared by Dr Colliston will be significantly higher.
INTRODUCTION:
The Projects are located in the historic Mockingbird Mining District, about 50 miles (80 kilometres) southeast of Las Vegas. The project area is on federal lands about 5 miles (8 km) west of the major Las Vegas / Phoenix highway and within 10 miles (16km) of the Colorado River; it comprises 4 claim groups spread over 2,500 acres.
As such, enough is known about the Projects to warrant reassessments of their mineral resource potential.
In Arizona, the Company will enter one of the most exciting and historical gold producing areas in the USA with its new high potential gold projects, namely, the Mockingbird and Great West Gold Project including the four claim groups. Significant reserves and gold mineralization are expected at depth, constrained by the structural controls associated with the Mockingbird detachment fault.
The sources of information available at the time of compilation of this report have been extracted from reports of the U.S. Geological Survey, reports prepared for Golden Sierra and references from the gold industry including other Arizonian gold projects (these are available on request from the Company's web site).
The resource potential available to the proposed future operations has been estimated by the project managers and consultants based on data drawn from reports and records related to the Golden Sierra and previous operations. There is no reason to doubt the authenticity or substance of those records and we believe that for the purposes of this report the estimates extracted from those reports could be acceptable.
A complete audit of the information available at the time of compilation has not been carried out, and the valuation of the mineral potential contained in this report assumes that confirmation of certain of the resources will be carried out at an early stage of exploration.
The investigations have concentrated on the review of the gold resource within the Mockingbird Project area and have relied on estimates and proposals as provided by Golden Sierra and previous data to make the review and estimates. There is no reason to doubt the information so obtained.
TITLE
Mining title consists of 2,500 acres (1,011.72 HA) of mineral rights and comprise a number of federal claims, namely:
Lode deposits: three
Placer deposits: sixteen.
And Claim Groups, which consist of:
The Mockingbird Claims, the Dandy Claims, the Great West Claims and
the MP Claims.
It is significant to note that the claim block includes four existing mines, namely, Mockingbird, Great West, Hall (Dandy) and Pocahontas; all these mines contributed significantly to the past gold production in this important gold producing mining district.
PROJECT OVERVIEW AND PAST EXPLORATION
The Mockingbird Project involves an important new type of Arizona gold deposit, called a "detachment fault" deposit. Detachment fault deposits were first recognized as a separate form of gold deposit in the 1980's. The best example of an Arizona detachment gold deposit is Copperstone (Figure 1), which, like Mockingbird is in the highly extended Western Arizona terrain near the Colorado River.
Copperstone was the biggest gold discovery in Arizona in at least 50 years. Cyprus Gold profitably mined the 500,000 oz open pit resource during the 1980's. Based upon the underground drilling by American Bonanza, it appears that the underground high-grade resource is even larger. This is however to be expected from the style of mineralization associated with detachment faults.
Unlike Copperstone, Mockingbird is an historic gold producer, producing some 15,000 ounces from high-grade ore at a weighted average grade of 0.8 oz/T. A majority of this production was from the Mockingbird Mine itself, which is the centerpiece of the Company's land position. Other mines producing gold were the Great West, Hall (Dandy) and Pocahontas Mines, all of which are included in the claim block (see Wilkins 1982). A gold rush was initiated at Mockingbird during the 1980's, with many companies providing large amounts of exploration activity. Anaconda, who acquired the Mockingbird Project, focused exploration on the area east of the historic Mockingbird and Great West mines, and lying beneath the surface trace of the Mockingbird detachment fault. Anaconda estimated a deposit of at least 10 million tons of .05 to 0.1 oz / T gold. This means the deposit is in the range of 500,000 to 1,000,000 ounces of gold, approximately the same size as Copperstone. This estimate does not include the additional vein material included in the earlier mentioned Wilkins Report. Joe Wilkins assessed the deposit for Gulf Mineral Resources in 1982 (see "Economic Geology of the Mockingbird Mine Area") and assumed a deposit of at least 500,000 tons at 0.1 oz / T from just the surface veins. The project was turned down as Gulf was of the opinion that the project was not big enough. Next, Santa Fe Gold (now part of Newmont) acquired a claim block at the historic Mockingbird mine. Although their work showed anomalous gold in numerous samples, Santa Fe cancelled the project without drilling on the erroneous theory that the gold was largely found in veins and not in wall rock.
It is clear that in making this decision, the structural geology controls on the mineralization were poorly understood. This left the door open for Anaconda, which acquired two square miles of claims (all included in the Companies' land position). Anaconda geochemistry delineated numerous gold anomalies. A seismic survey confirmed that the detachment fault was largely horizontal under the eastern portion of their claim block.
There is little subsequent exploration history on the property. Arco (Anaconda's parent company) shut Anaconda down and abandoned the project. Chevron then staked the same area, did their geochemistry and selected drill targets. Chevron then merged with Gulf, and the combined unit was under the management of former Gulf personnel. As explained above, Gulf had previously turned down the project and now moved to terminate it. Western States next acquired the property for several years and apparently only did some trenching. Golden Sierra, who viewed it as one of their biggest and best gold properties to date, then acquired the Mockingbird project.
GEOLOGY OVERVIEW:
The Mockingbird Mining District is situated along an undulating pediment along the east flank of the Black Mountains and occurs in the "basin and "range" province of the south-western United States. The province has undergone crustal extension, with the development of symmetric structural arrays such as horsts and grabens, with the horsts being the ranges and the grabens being the basins in the "basin-and-range topography. Igneous activity (basaltic volcanism) occurred with the extensional faulting during the Mesozoic to the Cenozoic. The Mines in the district are situated along a distinct N30 degree west linear feature that cuts across the Black Mountains and displaces all older lithologic and tectonic features. The NW trend is probably a late tertiary, basin and range fault zone that localized and preserved the mineralization at the mines
The geology and mineralization of the Mockingbird District is strongly influenced by Tertiary-age detachment faults and younger high-angle normal faults, associated with the abovementioned crustal extension. The regional geological setting is a major detachment fault (called the "Mockingbird Mine Fault"; Faulds et al., 2000) separating tertiary volcanics in the upper plate from Precambrian gneiss in the lower plate.
Mineralization is found in both quartz veins and breccia zones hosted by steep faults. The mines in the Mockingbird district are located along northwest to east west striking, north-dipping to flat quartz veins containing specular hematite, oxidized copper minerals and free gold.
The nature of the structures and mineralization further suggest potential for another type of ore deposit -- that of the strong likelihood of a major detachment fault associated gold / copper deposit, similar to the proven and mined Copperstone and Mesquite deposits. This was the working hypothesis of Anaconda and, later, Chevron. Unfortunately, the hypothesis could not be tested; neither company drilled the property because of project cancellation resulting from shutdown of the company (in the case of Anaconda) or merger (with Gulf, in the case of Chevron).
Surface and dump sampling shows a close correlation to Copperstone mineralization with the following average grades for all samples: Gold - 0.09 oz/T; Silver - 0.3 oz/T and Copper - 0.4%.
Chevron's geochemical work suggests two undrilled anomalies in Sections 26 and 35.
Sixteen Placer gold deposits have been identified on the claims area, but have not been tested to date.
Exploration Model:
The Mockingbird Project area has the potential for the development of a large gold reserve.
Expectations are high that a resource will be confirmed by following the known mineralization, (a) eastward (in the case of the Mockingbird Mine) and (b) north-eastward (in the case of the Dandy and Great West) under the detachment fault. The deeper Mockingbird gold mineralization is expected to occur in northwest-striking, moderate to shallow dipping fault zones related to the Mockingbird fault structural horizon in the footwall of the fault (Precambrian basement gneiss). The expected gold mineralization will be associated with breccia zones where the fault rock has been intensely sheared, altered and replaced with intense hematite and magnetite, chloritization, silicification and copper oxides related to the fault. Without the benefit of Anaconda's work, it will be necessary to re-do some geochemical and geophysical work to select drill sites.
The Mockingbird Area is modelled as a lower plate deposit, and east of the Mockingbird detachment fault the lower plate is buried. This area east of the fault is where most of the former claims occur; however large scale mining did not acquire the historic Mockingbird, Dandy and Great West Mines which are west of the fault where the lower plate is exposed.
RESERVE REVIEW
Anaconda estimated an Inferred Resource of at least 10 million tons of 0.05 to 0.1 oz/T gold with additional resources of silver and copper. U.S. Geological Survey Open File Report 92-002 and the Arizona Department of Mines and Mineral Resources corroborated these estimates. Underground operations and an open pit have previously been established with initial assay results and informal sampling confirming widespread surface gold mineralization, some of which is high grade gold (2 oz/T).
The deposit size may be in the range of 500,000 to 1,000,000 ounces of gold. At the gold price (in August 2004) of approximately US$400/oz, this provides a lower estimated value for the deposit of USD200 million and an upper value of USD400 million.
The estimated gold resource does not include the potential of the 16 gold placers identified on the property.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Conclusion
From the assessment of the Mockingbird Project Area the following conclusions are made:
1. The Mockingbird Project is a relatively high tonnage, low-grade
potential deposit. It has an Inferred Resource of at least 10
million tons with variable grade of 0.05 - 0.10 oz/T (1.55 - 3.1
gram/ton).
2. The gold resource is estimated to be of the order of 500,000 to
1,000,000 ounces of gold; this excludes the potential of the 16
gold placers on the property.
3. Silver (0.3 oz/T) and Sulphide mineralization (copper: 0.4%) may
also show potential during future development on the whole
property.
4. The gold resource can be raised significantly by drilling for the
subsurface extension of the Mockingbird Detachment Fault, with
the expectation of discovering high volume mineralised detachment
fault deposits.
5. The sixteen identified placer deposits are easily mineable and
also have the potential of raising the gold resource.
Recommendations
Extensive exploration at greater depth should be considered as very important to increase the resource of the property and appropriate technology applied for its exploitation.
