Dear Stockholder:
This past year was pivotal for Global Gold Corporation ("Global
Gold"). Our business was successful on several fronts. We have added
employees, begun developing properties, proceeded with new acquisitions,
and have become increasingly visible. Our stock now trades on the
Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under the stock symbol "GBGD,"
and you are able to follow the company's stock performance and current
activities as well as news releases on the internet. Our web site
is www.globalgoldcorp.com, where you can also access both current
and past financial information for Global Gold Corporation.
In November, the Company was pleased to have a large investment
group take a leading equity position, becoming our largest shareholder.
Firebird Management Company, LLC, www.fbird.com which manages seven
mutual funds with assets in excess of $1.3 billion, participated
in a private placement, and one of the principals Ian Hague, joined
Mike Mason, Nick Aynilian and the two of us as Global Gold Directors.
After reviewing several options, Global Gold is focusing its efforts
in the exploration, development and mining of gold and other mineral
properties in Armenia and Chile, which we feel brings both promise
and balance to our activity. We started in Armenia in1995, and have
an office in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, under the directorship
of Ashot Boghossian. We own two properties in Armenia which were
explored during Soviet times, Hankavan and Marjan. The Hankavan
mine is a copper, molybdenum and gold ore body. Marjan is a polymetallic
property with gold, silver, lead and zinc exploration opportunities.
In addition, until 2010 we hold the right to participate up to twenty
percent in any new exploration in Armenia by the Canadian company,
Sterlite Gold, Ltd. We continue to seek new acquisitions in the
mining business.
In Chile, our offices are located in the capital, Santiago. W.E.S.
Urquhart, Vice President, is responsible for operations and management
of projects in South America. Our Chilean property consists of approximately
1,100 acres in total, including Candelaria 1 to 3, Santa Candelaria
1 to 8 and the Torino I, 1 to 7 and Torino II, 1 to 11. A feasibility
report for the development of these properties has not been prepared
and we have not yet ascertained the amount of the proven and probable
reserves of gold, copper and other minerals on the property, if
any. On March 2005, our subsidiary, Minera Global Chile Limitada.,
entered into a contract with Adrian Soto-Torino to mine the vein
structure historically mined at the Santa Candelaria, and that work
has begun. We plan to begin a drilling program in the third quarter
of 2005 to further explore the property.
Global Gold is looking forward to a successful year in 2005. Our
board and employees are committed to building a dynamic company,
developing good mining properties, and conducting business with
ethical and environmentally sound polices. To our shareholders,
we thank you for your continued support and invite you to keep up
with our efforts.
