Great Western Minerals Group Re-Classifies June 30, 2010 Financial Statement Cash Flow Items

Sep. 29, 2010 (Marketwire) --

SASKATOON, SASKATCHEWAN -- (Marketwire) -- 09/29/10 -- Great Western Minerals Group Ltd. ("GWMG" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: GWG) (OTCQX: GWMGF) has filed amended and restated consolidated unaudited interim financial statements for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2010. The financial statements have been restated to correct the previous classification of consolidated cash flows used in operating, investing and financing activities and amended to include a consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. The Company had previously recorded the changes in bank demand loans, common shares issued to repay a portion of a convertible debenture and stock based compensation issued related to additions to mineral properties as operating actives. These amounts have been reclassified to financing and investing activities.

These amendments and restatement had no impact on the consolidated unaudited interim balance sheets, consolidated interim statements of loss and deficit, or net increase (decrease) in cash during the period in the consolidated statement of cash flows as previously reported for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010.

This restatement of the financial results reflects the determination of the Company, in consultation with its auditors and in connection with the review by its auditors of the financial statements for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010.

The following table provides a summary of the restatement effects:
