Great Western ramps up tungsten exploration

Mar 20, 2026

Great Western Mining  recently extended the extent of its tungsten holdings around its Defender-Pine Crow project in Nevada. The additional claims were staked on the basis of their geological potential, and also to create a buffer zone against rival staking. The plan now is to get on the ground and initiate field work, with a view to getting the drill rigs turning sometime in July. A potential resource would then follow. Ed Loye, Great Western's chief executive, joins Vox to tell us more.
