Great Western Minerals Group Ltd.
P.O. Box 69
Saskatoon, SK S7K 3K1
TSX VENTURE: GWG
USA OTC Symbol: GWMGF
CUSIP: 39141Y 10 3
July 3, 2003
NEW MANAGEMENT APPOINTMENTS
Gary Billingsley, President, is very pleased to announce the appointment, effective July 1, 2003, of Mr. George P. Cole, MSc. to the position of Chief Operating Officer and Mr. John G. Pearson, MSc., P. Geo. to the position of VP Exploration.
Mr. Cole recently retired as VP Exploration from Teck Cominco American after over 30 years employment with that company and its predecessor Cominco American. His successful career was highlighted by the discovery of several economic ore deposits and substantially increasing the ore reserves at several properties, including doubling the resource base at Teck Cominco's Red Dog lead-zinc mine in Alaska. As a senior-level mining executive, George possesses strong technical and business skills and expertise in leading and managing multi-disciplined mining teams.
Mr. Pearson was recently employed by Teck Cominco and spent several years managing the regional exploration office in Saskatchewan and Manitoba for Cominco Ltd. He has strong exploration skills with an emphasis on ore genesis and structural geology.
Mssrs. Cole and Pearson will form the core of the team being assembled to advance the Company's diverse mineral project portfolio, but with particular focus on the Hoidas Lake rare earth property. George and John have extensive first-hand experience world-wide in base and precious metals, diamonds and industrial minerals and have developed a considerable network of highly-skilled mining personnel available to them.
Company management is confident that these new appointments will be invaluable in achieving the goal of establishing Great Western Minerals as a major player in the global rare earth industry and ensuring North American self-sufficiency as the alternate energy sector, in which rare earths are critical components, evolves.
