Marketwired
Global Gold Corporation (OTCBB: GBGD), an international gold
mining, development, and exploration company with mining properties
in Armenia and Chile, held its annual shareholders meeting as
noticed on Friday, June 19, 2009 (www.globalgoldcorp.com) at its
headquarters in Greenwich, CT. With 83.35% of all outstanding
shares represented in the voting process, shareholders re-elected
the current Board of Directors by an over 96% favorable vote.
Re-elected as directors were Van Z. Krikorian-Chairman and CEO,
Drury J. Gallagher-Chairman Emeritus, Treasurer and Secretary as
well as independent directors Nicholas Aynilian of NJA Investments,
Ian Hague co-founding principal at Firebird Management, and Retired
U.S. Ambassador Harry Gilmore. The shareholders also voted to
confirm Sherb and Co., LLP (www.sherbcpa.com) as the company's
outside auditor.
Following the meeting, there was a review of Global Gold's
current operations. In Armenia, production at Toukhmanuk mining
property in June reached an output rate of about 300 ounces of gold
per month. Global Gold anticipates this monthly production rate to
be sustained until the plant production is expanded to 15,000
ounces per year in the first quarter of 2010 and then to an
industrial production level of over 100,000 ounces per year.
Recently, Global Gold submitted a revised resource report to the
State Committee for Reserves (GKZ) based on the significant
discovery at the Toukhmanuk Central Area announced in October 2008.
The revised report is expected to be approved in the near
future.
The ongoing exploration and drilling program at Getik property
was also noted.
Additionally, the Board reviewed progress at Marjan, the
Company's advanced exploration project in southwestern Armenia.
Global Gold anticipates test mining and continuation of its
exploration and drilling at Marjan and the expanded Marjan North
area. Drill hole spacing ranges from 40 m to 100 m, and the deposit
has been explored across 200 m vertical section, with four adits
starting at 40 m, 65 m, 80 m, and 120 m below the surface
respectively.
Global Gold's divestment of Canadian uranium exploration
properties was also discussed. Global Gold retains a royalty
interest on sales of uranium products from Cochrane Pond Property
in Newfoundland from Commander Resources and Bayswater Uranium if
that property goes into production.
In Chile, at the Global Gold Valdavia property, the Company
plans to proceed with renewed mining and processing plans, starting
at the Guadelupe site. The plant technology and design proposal
approved by the joint venture was reviewed.
A presentation for an expanded Investor Relations Program was
also made to the Board by Global Gold's Vice President of Business
Development and Investor Relations. The Program included
recommendations to expand communications with the shareholder base
and the financial community including, for example, more frequent
news releases on exploration and production progress, internet
marketing and broader research analyst coverage.
The Board also reviewed the Company's commitment to best
practices in internal operations, environmental responsibility, and
social responsibility. The Board believes that it is important to
offer stockholders the opportunity to communicate with the Board
