Dear Friends of Great Western Minerals Group
This past year was no doubt a challenging one with the global financial crises and subsequent collapse in the commodities markets. GWMG, like other small cap companies, was not immune to this downturn. However, we remain in a unique position, with increasing demand for REE and very few companies in the world with the potential to meet that growing demand.
In spite of the global financial difficulties, we are pleased with the progress we have made on all fronts. We?ve moved ahead on our exploration projects and we?ve developed new customer relationships for our value-added production facilities through our acquisition of LCM. The fundamentals continue to work in our favor and we remain excited about the potential for the Company. To that end, we will continue to move forward to implement our unique strategy to become a vertically integrated developer and producer of rare earth projects. We are very optimistic about the future of Great Western Minerals Group in the coming year!
We appreciate the patience and support that our shareholders, employees, contractors, and other friends have offered to us during the year.
All of us at Great Western Minerals Group, Great Western Technologies Inc, and Less Common Metals Ltd wish you and your families a Joyous Holiday Season and a Healthy, Happy, and Prosperous 2009... May all of your surprises be pleasant ones?
