  • Appointed Ed Loye as Chief Executive Officer, with Brian Hall stepping back from the role of Executive Chairman following the AGM in June 2026.
  • Signed option agreement involving KGHM Polska Miedz S.A. over the Eastside-Tango copper porphyry project, providing long-term royalty upside for Great Western.
  • Admitted to trading on the OTCQB market in the United States, providing US-based investors with direct access to the Company's shares for the first time.
  • Raised £3.25 million (gross) through a placing of new shares in February 2026 to fund accelerated exploration activity, supplemented by warrant exercises during the period.

Post-Period End

  • Received channel sampling results in July confirmed broad and significant tungsten mineralisation across the Defender-Pine Crow corridor, supporting an emerging mineralised trend of approximately 3 km.
  • Highly encouraging metallurgical flotation test work results: 92.98% of tungsten recovered into a rougher concentrate grading 7.21% WO₃ from a starting bulk sample grade of 0.35% WO₃, with penalty elements recorded at very low levels.
  • Completed a 23-hole drilling programme at Defender designed to test the continuity and grade of tungsten mineralisation across the corridor, with assay results expected over the coming weeks and months.
  • Appointed Addison Mining Services as independent Competent Person for the maiden MRE, with its geologist embedded on site during the drilling programme.

Financial

  • Loss for the period of €2.63 million (H1 2025: €0.49 million; FY 2025: €1.08 million), including a revaluation loss on the share warrant provision of €1.86 million (H1 2025: €15,073 gain; FY 2025: €182,791 loss).
  • Cash and cash equivalents at 30 June 2026 of €2.77 million (31 December 2025: €0.07 million).
  • Net assets of €9.51 million (31 December 2025: €8.60 million).
  • Company fully funded for its planned 2026 exploration and MRE programme.
  • Post-period warrant exercises in July and August 2026 generated additional funding of approximately £49,000.

Great Western CEO, Ed Loye, commented:

"With tungsten now Great Western's strategic priority, we have made significant progress at Defender during the first half of 2026 and since period end. Channel sampling has confirmed broad mineralisation across the Defender-Pine Crow corridor, while preliminary metallurgical work has demonstrated strong tungsten recovery using established flotation methods. Furthermore, we have completed a 23-hole drilling programme, marking another important step as we look to advance the project towards development.

"Our focus is now on assay results and delivery of a maiden MRE. This will give us a much clearer picture of the scale and quality of the tungsten mineralisation at Defender and inform the next phase of work."

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

For the six months ended 30 June 2026

Dear Shareholder,

The first half of 2026 has been a period of significant progress for Great Western, with tungsten now our principal focus. Having set out our plans earlier in the year, we have made good progress at the Defender Tungsten Project ("Defender") and remain focused on our key objective of delivering a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") in the next few months.

The appointment of Ed Loye as Chief Executive Officer at the start of the year marked a significant step in the evolution of the Company's leadership. Ed's energy, technical capability and strategic vision have been evident from day one and it has been encouraging to see the pace and quality of work delivered. Following the Annual General Meeting in June, I was pleased to step back from the Executive Chairman role, while remaining as Chairman, confident that the Company is in excellent hands as it moves into its next phase.

During the period, we completed a substantial body of preparatory fieldwork at the Defender-Pine Crow tungsten corridor. Detailed geological mapping and a gravity geophysical survey refined our understanding of the mineralised system, while four machine-cut channel sampling programmes at the historic Dough God, Pine Crow and Widowmaker mines provided the data needed to guide drill targeting. Results from this channel work, received in July, confirmed broad tungsten mineralisation along the corridor, with notable widths and consistent grades across multiple locations.

In parallel, we dispatched a 750 kg representative bulk sample for metallurgical flotation test work. The results, received post period end, were highly encouraging. 92.98% of the tungsten was recovered from the pre-treated material into a rougher concentrate grading 7.21% WO₃, compared with a starting bulk sample grade of 0.35% WO₃. Penalty elements, including molybdenum, were recorded at very low levels, which is significant for downstream processing. Notably, the results compare favourably with similar, rougher test work undertaken by other regional skarn-hosted tungsten projects and confirm the amenability of the Defender mineralisation to established flotation methods. Further test work will now focus on cleaner circuit optimisation to upgrade the concentrate towards potential marketable product specifications and this work will form an important part of the overall technical picture as we advance towards a resource estimate.

The groundwork completed during the period has now translated into action. Since the period end, we have completed a drilling programme at Defender comprising 23 holes designed to test the continuity and grade of tungsten mineralisation across the corridor. Assay results are expected over the coming weeks and months. The engagement of Addison Mining Services as the independent Competent Person, with its geologist on site during the drilling programme, provides assurance that the data being captured meets the standards required for a JORC-compliant MRE.

Elsewhere in the portfolio, the option agreement involving KGHM Polska Miedz S.A. over the Eastside-Tango copper porphyry project represents a meaningful validation of our assets and our partnership strategy. KGHM is a major, well-funded mining company and its involvement removes any further financial exposure for Great Western while providing long-term royalty upside.

Our admission to trading on the OTCQB market in the United States was another important milestone, giving US-based investors direct access to the Company's shares for the first time. Given the strategic importance of domestic critical minerals supply to the United States and the growing awareness of tungsten as a priority metal for defence, aerospace and advanced manufacturing, we believe this listing will prove increasingly valuable as our story develops.

Financially, we entered the period in a strong position following a successful fundraising of £3.25 million in February 2026, supplemented by warrant exercises during the period. As an exploration company, we continue to report a loss for the period of €2,634,357 (30 June 2025: €485,232 and 31 December 2025: €1,077,474). The result reflects a loss of €1,855,152 (30 June 2025: gain of €15,073 and 31 December 2025: loss of €182,791) on the movement of the fair value of financial liabilities relating to the issue of share warrants.

For the remainder of 2026, we have several important upcoming milestones. With encouraging metallurgical test results now in hand and drill assay results expected as the chip samples are processed, we hope to deliver a maiden MRE in the coming months. Together, these should provide a much clearer picture of the scale and quality of the tungsten opportunity at Defender and allow us to plan the next stage of its development.

The global backdrop for our work continues to strengthen. Tungsten remains one of the most supply-constrained critical minerals, with western economies increasingly seeking to reduce their dependence on Chinese production, which accounts for the vast majority of global supply. The United States has made clear its intention to build resilient domestic supply chains for strategic metals and Nevada, already one of the world's premier mining jurisdictions, sits at the heart of this effort. Great Western is well placed to benefit from these trends, with 100%-owned assets across a highly prospective corridor in a jurisdiction that offers security of tenure, established infrastructure and a supportive regulatory environment.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our shareholders for their continued support and we look forward to demonstrating the value of the work now under way at Defender and across the wider portfolio.

Yours sincerely,

Brian Hall

Chairman

Unaudited Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements

For the six months to 30 June 2026

  1. General information

Great Western Mining Corporation PLC ("the Company") is a company domiciled in the Republic of Ireland. The Half Yearly Report and Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements ('the half yearly financial statements') of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2026 comprise the results and financial position of company and its subsidiaries ("the Group").

The Group half yearly financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 25 September 2026.

Basis of preparation

The half yearly financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2026 are unaudited. The financial information presented herein does not amount to statutory financial statements that are required by Chapter 4 part 6 of the Companies Act 2014 to be annexed to the annual return of the company. The statutory financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2025 are annexed to the annual return when filed with the Registrar of Companies. The audit report on those financial statements was unqualified.

The Group half yearly financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union ("EU").

The financial information contained in the half yearly financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the decommissioning provision, share-based payments and warrants, which are based on fair values determined at the grant date, and for share warrants, disclosed as financial liabilities, at each subsequent reporting period end date. The accounting policies have been applied consistently in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 except as outlined below.

Reclassification of comparatives

During the period, the Group revised the presentation of certain expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Income Statement to provide more relevant information regarding its financial performance. The gain or loss on revaluation of share warrant provision, previously included within administrative expenses, is now presented separately. Comparative amounts have been reclassified accordingly. The reclassification has no impact on previously reported loss before tax, loss for the period, net assets, or earnings per share.

Accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the annual Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.

New and amended standards that became applicable for the Group in the current reporting period have not resulted in changes to accounting policies or retrospective adjustments.

Material accounting policies and use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of interim consolidated financial statements in compliance with IAS 34 requires the use of certain critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty. It also requires the exercise of judgement in applying the Group's accounting policies.

During the period, the Group granted warrants which gave rise to financial liabilities (see Note 14). Accounting for financial liabilities arising from the grant of share warrants requires the use of valuation models to estimate the future share price performance of the Company. Assumptions for the share price volatility, risk free rate and expected life of awards in order to determine the fair values of the options at the date of grant. Due to the impact of the dilution effect arising from the grant of warrants in February 2026, consideration has been given to the dilution effect in the re-calculation of the fair value. The financial liabilities are revalued at each period end using restated assumptions.

Other than the financial liabilities arising on the grant of share warrants in the period, there have been no material revisions to the nature and the assumptions used in estimating amounts reported in the annual audited financial statements of Great Western Mining Corporation PLC for the period ended 31 December 2025.


The accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation in the audited financial statements have been followed in the condensed set of financial statements.

  1. Going concern

The financial statements of the Group are prepared on a going concern basis.

In order to assess the appropriateness of the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2026, the Directors have considered a time period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements.

The Group incurred an operating loss during the six months ended 30 June 2026. At the balance sheet date, the Group had cash and cash equivalents amounting to €2.77 million. In July and August 2026, warrant holders have exercised warrants providing the Company with additional funding of approximately £49,000. The Board considers this will enable the Group to meet continuing operating expenditure and the planned work programme.

The Directors concluded that the Group will have sufficient resources to continue as a going concern for the future, that is for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of approval of the consolidated financial statements without material uncertainties. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments that would be necessary if this basis were inappropriate.

  1. Segment information

The Group has one principal reportable segment, Nevada, USA, which represents the exploration for and development of tungsten, copper, silver, gold and other minerals in Nevada, USA.

Other operations "Corporate Activities" includes cash resources held by the Group and other operational expenditure incurred by the Group. These assets and activities are not within the definition of an operating segment.

In the opinion of the Directors the operations of the Group comprise one class of business, being the exploration and related activities including development, processing and production of tungsten, copper, silver, gold and other minerals. The Group's main operations are located within Nevada, USA. The information reported to the Group's chief executive officer (the Executive Chairman), who is the chief operating decision maker, for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segmental performance is particularly focussed on the exploration activity in Nevada.

Information regarding the Group's results, assets and liabilities is presented below.

The Directors have reviewed the carrying value of the exploration and evaluation assets. These assets are carried at historical cost and have been assessed for impairment in particular with regards to specific requirements as set out in IFRS 6 'Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources' relating to remaining licence or claim terms, likelihood of renewal, likelihood of further expenditures, possible discontinuation of activities over specific claims and available data which may suggest that the recoverable value of an exploration and evaluation asset is less than carrying amount. The Directors considered other factors in assessing potential impairment including cash available to the Group, commodity prices and markets, taxation and regulatory regime, and access to equipment and services. The Directors are satisfied that no impairment is required as at 30 June 2026.

  1. Intangible assets (continued)

The realisation of the intangible assets is dependent on the successful identification and exploitation of tungsten, copper, silver, gold and other mineral in the Group's licence area, including the potential to reprocess historical spoil heaps and tailings. This is dependent on several variables including the existence of commercial mineral deposits, availability of finance and mineral prices.

During the period, the Company reviewed its claims for the 2026 renewal. After the significant work undertaken over the claim groups in the current period, and recent years, the Directors approved the renewal of all existing claims.

  1. Investment in joint venture

During 2024, the Group assumed a 50% equity interest in Western Milling LLC ("Western Milling"), a processing mill business incorporated in Nevada, USA, over which it exercises joint control. The costs incurred to date were transferred from Prepayments to Investment in Joint Venture as at 29 February 2024. Western Milling owns all the assets it uses to provide its services and is legally responsible for settling its liabilities. Western Milling has not commenced operations but will provide services to its shareholders and is expected to provide services to third parties. The Group has concluded that Western Milling is a joint venture under IFRS 11 - "Joint Arrangements" and the Group has therefore applied equity accounting for its interest. The investment was reviewed for indicators of impairment at the period end. No impairment indicator was identified for the period ended 30 June 2026.

The decommissioning provisions relate to undertakings by the Group to carry our reclamation work after the completion of planned work permitted by the regulator. The cost of the reclamation work is estimated by the regulator in advance and the notice permitting operations to be conducted, together with the associated reclamation work, is effective for two years, subject to certain variations. As the Group applies for approval of operations to be conducted within the current year where possible, the cost of decommissioning provision is treated as a current liability.

  1. Share warrants - financial liability

The share warrants have been granted as rights to acquire additional new ordinary share of €0.0001 in accordance with the terms of placings completed in February 2026 and June 2025.

The warrants are classified and accounted for as financial liabilities using Level 3 fair value measurement, with any change in fair value recorded in the Consolidated Income Statement. Level 3 fair value recognises that the inputs for any asset or liability valuation are not based on observable market data.

In February 2026, the Group granted warrants in connection with a share placing. 232,142,857 warrants were granted exercisable at £0.020 each with immediate vesting and a contractual life of 3 years (2025: 62,500,000 warrants granted exercisable at £0.013 each with immediate vesting and a contractual life of 2 years).

Measure of fair values of warrants

The fair value of the warrants issued has been measured using the binomial lattice option pricing model. There are no service or non-market performance conditions attached to the arrangement and the warrants are considered to have vested immediately. Expected volatility has been based on an evaluation of the historical volatility of the Company's share price. The expected life is based on the contractual life of the warrants.

In order to revalue the Level 3 fair value, the principal changes to the input assumptions relate to the expected volatility, which has been recalculated at the period-end, the expected life of each grant, which has been reduced to the remaining life of each grant from the period-end date, and the movement in the underlying share price. Accordingly the expected volatility on revaluation has increased to a range for the grants of between 95.6% and 101.7%, and the underlying share price has increased to £0.0335. Other input assumptions remained in line with those at the original date of grant. No sensitivity analysis has been provided as the results are not deemed material.

At 30 June 2026, the total financial liability for the remaining 270,115,907 warrants (31 December 2025: 60,000,000 warrants) not yet exercised was revalued and the balance at that date was €2,985,010 (31 December 2025: €343,250). Due to the impact of the dilution effect arising from the grant of warrants in February 2026, the dilution effect has been applied to the revaluation of the fair value of the warrants as at 30 June 2026. As the condition did not exist in 2025, the dilution effect was not included at 31 December 2025 or 30 June 2025.
