Great Western Minerals Group Ltd. (TSXV:GWG,OTCQX:GWMGF) announced an update to drilling at the South African Steenkampskraal project.

As quoted in the press release:

For metallurgical testing, clusters of drillholes with a variety of bearings and inclinations were situated around a central resource definition corehole on selected locations to collect representative samples of monazite mineralization. Intersections of mineralization in metallurgical holes ranged from a few centimeters to 3.55 meters along core length.

Great Western’s President and CEO, Jim Engdahl said:

Our drilling and sampling program will continue to mid-December, 2011. This moves us toward completion of two goals at Steenkampskraal – first, to provide information in support of a fully compliant National Instrument 43-101 resource estimate report and second, to expand the resources at Steenkampskraal through testing the down-dip extension of the main structure as well as investigation of the encasing host rock mineralization.
