Great Western Minerals Group Ltd. ("GWMG" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE: GWG) (OTCQX: GWMGF) announces the appointment of Elizabeth
M. Nash as Corporate Secretary.
Ms. Nash, whose legal practice is focused on securities and
corporate law, has provided advisory services to GWMG for 5 years.
Prior to launching her own law practice in 1995, she has been a
securities and corporate lawyer with Robertson Stromberg Pedersen
of Saskatoon, with Lilly, Blott, Fejer of Toronto and with the
Ontario Securities Commission.
Ms. Nash received her Juris Doctor from the University of
Toronto Faculty of Law in 1980 and an MBA from the University of
Toronto in 1982. She was admitted to the practice by the Law
Society of Upper Canada in 1984 and articled with Fraser Milner
Casgrain in Toronto.
"Having someone with Liz's significant experience and
capabilities is crucial to the continuing corporate development of
GWMG," said GWMG President and Chief Executive Officer Jim Engdahl.
"As our Company has made the transition from being a Canadian-based
junior Rare Earths exploration firm to being a globally based,
fully integrated Rare Earths processor, the accompanying
organizational changes have been very significant. Having access to
Liz's expertise in the area of corporate governance will serve our
Company and our shareholders extremely well."
Great Western Minerals Group Ltd. is an integrated Rare Earths
processor. Its specialty alloys are used in the battery, magnet and
aerospace industries. Produced at the Company's wholly owned
subsidiaries Less Common Metals Limited in Birkenhead, U.K. and
Great Western Technologies Inc. in Troy, Michigan, these alloys
contain aluminium, nickel, cobalt and Rare Earth Elements. As part
of the Company's vertical integration strategy, GWMG has signed an
Off-take Agreement for 100% of the Rare Earth Elements to be
produced at the former producing Steenkampskraal mine in South
Africa and holds 93.1% equity ownership in Rare Earth Extraction
Co. Limited, the owner of the Steenkampskraal mine. In addition to
a planned exploration program at Steenkampskraal, GWMG also holds
interests in five Rare Earth exploration and development properties
in North America.
