Expert Comments:

Jon Hykawy, Byron Capital Markets (5/17/13) "Great Western Minerals Group Ltd. released its Q1/13 financial results. . .the message is simple: Great Western must get Steenkampskraal into production as soon as possible; that will likely bring higher order volume, boosting revenue, as well as margins. Our target price remains $2 and our rating remains Strong Buy. . .we are fully aware that the company will require additional equity to complete its production build; however, we believe that the earnings potential of Great Western makes attracting that investment easier than market conditions would suggest. . .we believe the risk is worth taking."

Adam Currie, Rare Earth Investing News (4/15/13) "Although the first quarter of 2013 was challenging for the rare earth sector as a whole, there have been some notable developments. . .Great Western Minerals Group Ltd. released a PEA for its Steenkampskraal REE project that indicates strong potential for its integrated business model. Project highlights include a $555M after-tax NPV when applying a 10% discount rate, a 28% South African corporate tax rate and a 66% after-tax internal rate of return. "

The Metals Report Interview with Chris Berry (3/26/13) "Great Western Minerals Group Ltd. is awaiting the receipt of a second strip-casting furnace that will increase alloy output and add to the revenue stream. This is a welcome step in the company's plan to establish an integrated REE supply chain outside of China. With newly installed management, the next catalyst will be a PEA on Steenkampskraal the market has been waiting for." More >

Jon Hykawy, Byron Capital Markets (3/19/13) "Great Western Minerals Group Ltd. remains our rare earth junior Top Pick. . .Steenkampskraal is easily the richest deposit of rare earths on earth, mined ton compared to mined ton. Our recommendation remains Strong Buy."

Deborah Bacal, Proactive Investors (3/18/13) "Great Western Minerals Group Ltd. has taken another crucial step toward derisking its Steenkampskraal rare earth mine in South Africa, announcing a strong PEA of the project with an internal rate of return of 66% after tax. . .the payback period, on an after-tax basis, was projected at 4.3 years, from the start of underground mining production, with a potential mine life of 11 years."
