Marketwired
Global Gold Corporation (OTCBB: GBGD) is pleased to announce that
following up on the issuance of the certificate approving a first
stage gold reserve of 1.145 million ounces, the Republic of
Armenia's State Natural Resources Agency (the "Agency") has
delivered its full decision with backup calculations on November
13, 2009 confirming an additional gold resource in the inferred
category. The Agency issued its decision based on the proposal of
the Agency's State Geological Expert Commission made during its
October 23, 2009 session. A copy of the official approval and a
partial unofficial translation are available on the company's
website www.globalgoldcorp.com.
The approved gold resource in the Inferred category is 35 tonnes
(or 1,225,276 ounces), which together with the approved 1.145
million ounces of reserves marks a sharp increase from the 8.0
tonnes approved under GKZ decision N28 of January, 26, 2004. The
reserve and resource estimates were concluded at a cutoff grade of
0.8 grams per tonne.
Global Gold announced the first stage of Government reserve
approval for C1 and C2 categories of 35.614 tonnes of gold and 107
tonnes of silver at Toukhmanuk on October 27, 2009. The approvals
followed a significant discovery at the Toukhmanuk Central Area
(2.2 sq km) announced in October 2008 and a review of the company's
technical submission in March 2009. In its approval, the Agency
added that the "approved reserves entirely correspond to the
requirements for Measured and Indicated reserves under
International Standards." Before relying on any reserve or resource
reporting, however, investors should read the "Cautionary Note" and
"Forward-Looking Statements" terms included at the end of the
release.
161 diamond drill holes for a total of 23,188 meters have been
completed at Toukhmanuk. The objective of the diamond drilling was
to explore near surface gold-polymetallic sulphide mineralization
along the major west-northwest trading shear zone. The first stage
Agency decision also confirms that mineralization continues in all
directions and further exploration is required.
Global Gold's 2010 exploration program will focus on expanding
the Toukhmanuk project and on upgrading the gold resources to
proven and probable reserve standards. The company's production
program includes expansion to 15,000 ounces per year in 2010 and
then to an industrial production level of over 100,000 ounces per
year.
Global Gold is an international gold exploration, development,
and mining company headquartered in Greenwich, CT. The company
operates three gold properties in Armenia and owns an alluvial gold
deposit in southern Chile. While the entire Toukhmanuk license area
is 53.76 sq km, work to date has focused on a portion of the 2.2 sq
km Central Area.
