The Company had stated that it was reviewing its share capital structure.

The Company has therefore filed its Notice of this Reverse Split with the NASD, it will be effective for Stockholders of Record on May 10, 2007 and the Payment Date is May 14, 2007, the ratio of this Reverse Split is on the basis of 1 for 2,000. The Company intends that it will no longer trade as a "sub penny stock", this in our opinion, has proven to be of little use nor benefit, to our stockholders. This Reverse Split will be effective prior to the Company trading under its new name and Trading Symbol.
A completing new corporate web site is being completed; it will be available to stockholders next week. This web site will focus exclusively on the Company's new business whilst retaining details on the Mining portfolio. Please be advised that corporate E Mail and contact address will be changed on or before that date, being May 14, 2007. Stockholders will be kept advised. The new Management team will be announced on that new corporate web site. Mr. Peter J. Bezzano, the President of the Company, will remain as the Company's President. Mr. Peter J.

Mr. Peter J. Bezzano, the President of the Company has stated that he considers this acquisition to be a very exciting and dynamic challenge for the Company; and needless to say, will be a very positive deal for the Company. After a year of research, it has been enormously gratifying to have secured a highly efficient, superbly managed prepaid debit and credit card programe, backed marketed and managed by a substantial world class organization.
Mr. Peter J. Bezzano stated that the exhaustive and very successful due diligence conducted upon the Company and its products; resulted in our being convinced that we have now secured a product that is flawless in its execution and in respect of the level of support provided by its Issuers. He is particularly gratified by its low cost overhead structure, the operations being based in a very low cost, yet first class, jurisdiction. The use of Internet marketing to acquire customers is of enormous benefit, given the cost savings in the use of Internet, when compared with the huge costs associated with that of traditional marketing campaigns.
The benefits to our Company are innumerable, the monthly recurring income stream, access to the global market, the ability to offer these unique offshore card products, the day to day interface with world class management. Perhaps most importantly, the positioning of the Company in one of the fastest growing market sectors in the world, with the possibility of synergistic links with other financial service providers, and globally. The ability to drive our growth through the Internet, offer enormous challenges, it is our intention to grow and expand upon what is in our opinion, a very successful entrenched marketing model.
I must stress that stockholders will not in any way, be prejudiced by this restructure of the Company, as indeed, the Company's Mining Portfolio continues to hold a very significant value for the Company and upon our realization of its true value, even further benefits will accrue to our loyal and supportive stockholders.
The mining exploration companies controlled by Great West Gold, Inc. will remain as Company assets until they are distributed to stockholders, in full. It is intended that these assets be placed in two separate quoted companies under independent and experienced mining management teams. The Mining Assets in question, are : Great West Gold, Inc.'s stockholding in : Bouse Mining Holdings plc, Ambassador Gold Holdings plc, Golden Eagle Mining Holdings plc, Sentinel Resource Holdings plc, Copperstone Mining Holdings plc; and the "Bonanza" Gold Project, the only wholly owned company of Great West Gold, Inc.
The Company can confirm that the "Bouse", "South Copperstone" and the "Golden Eagle" Mining Exploration Projects are being transferred into a separate Company. The Company has now appointed management to this Company.
Furthermore, the "Mockingbird", "Ambassador" and the "Bonanza" Mining Exploration Projects are being transferred into a second separate Company. Management for this Company has not as yet, been agreed upon.
"Bouse", "Mockingbird", "South Copperstone", "Ambassador" and "Golden Eagle" are controlled by the new company but have significant outside stockholders though previous stock dividend distributions to Great West Gold, Inc. stockholders.
In the interim, these Mining assets will be retained as "portfolio" assets on the Company's books.
