Great West Gold, Inc. -- 25 Percent Stock Dividend

Company to Confirm the 'Record Date' for Its 25 Percent Stock Dividend


NEW YORK, Jan. 10, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Great West Gold, Inc. (OTCBB:GWGO) announced on December 19, 2005 that the Company had authorized a 25% (twenty five percent) Stock Dividend of the Company's common stock for its shareholders of record as of January 6, 2005.

The "Record Date" for this 25% Stock Dividend is January 31, 2006 and the "Pay Date" shall be February 7, 2006.

The Company experienced delays in increasing its Authorized Share Capital to accommodate the issue of this Stock Dividend and has therefore extended the "Record Date" of this 25% Stock Dividend. The Company is required to inform the NASD at least ten days prior to the "Pay Date." Shareholders who continue to purchase this Company's stock will be eligible for this 25% Stock Dividend until the new "Record Date."
