I recieved this e-mail a couple of days ago:

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your interest and for contacting Great West Gold, Inc.

The Company is at this time working with its professional advisors to complete the Form 10-KSB (Annual Report) and expects to file the same in and during the next 21 days. The Company will trade with an "E" annotation to its Symbol until the filing of this Form 10-KSB.

Once this Form 10-KSB has been filed, the Company will be completing the distribution (and posting of the requisite Stock Certificates) of the various Share Dividends announced in and during late 2005 and will be distributing a further three Stock Dividends to its shareholders, the "Record Dates" and "Pay Dates" in respect thereof to be announced at that time.

The Company promised to publish a "Corporate Update" Press Release in and during last week, to update its shareholders, assuming that it would have its various dates confirmed up, this remains to be clarified and once clarified within the next few days, the Company will release the aforesaid Corporate Update. This Company does not wish to continually be releasing Press Releases until we have something concrete to advise our shareholders.

Management of the Company has absolutely no intention of permitting this Company to be relegated to the OTC Pink Sheets Market.

Please be advised that Management of this Company is very committed and is "on top" of all these problems and can assure you that this Company is addressing and dealing with all issues that are affecting shareholders and that these issues concerning shareholders and are resulting in this Company having to deal with over 100 E Mail queries a day, will be resolved very shortly.

Management of this Company recognises the extraordinary opportunities available to this Company due to the continued (and continual) increase in the commodity prices and the new record Gold price. This opportunities will be exploited by the Company to derive further benefit for this Company and its shareholders.

Kind Regards

Great West Gold, Inc.
