Global Gold
Holds Annual Meeting
- Provides Update on Operations
- Board Approves Additional Good Governance Standards
- Announces Personnel Changes
Greenwich, Connecticut --- June 20, 2007--- Global Gold Corporation
(OTCBB-GBGD), an international gold mining, development and exploration
company with mining properties in Armenia, Chile and Canada, held
its annual shareholders meeting as noticed last Friday. With almost
80% of all outstanding shares represented in the voting process, shareholders
re-elected the current Board of Directors by an over 99% 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
Ambassador Harry Gilmore. The shareholders also voted to confirm Sherb
and Co., LLP (www.sherbcpa.com)
as the company's outside auditor.
In addition, there was a review of Global Gold's current and planned
operations, especially of its expansion into uranium exploration
in Canada. Global Gold Uranium LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Global Gold Corp., is engaged in the exploration for and development
of uranium deposits in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
In southwestern Newfoundland, airborne and prospecting work is planned
at the Cochrane Pond property in which Global Gold shares interests
with Commander Resources and Bayswater Uranium.
Global Gold Uranium is also commencing an exploration program this
season at and around the Grand Lake and Shallow Lake uranium prospects
in Labrador. Exploration of the company's uranium projects is being
managed by Hrayr Agnerian, Senior Vice President and Ted Urquhart,
Vice President, both seasoned uranium experts. This summer, the
company will be opening an office in Toronto headed by Mr. Agnerian
to focus on Canadian projects.
Global Gold's current production, exploration and development focus
in Armenia primarily revolves around the North Central Armenian
Belt, where it is integrating the Hankavan molybdenum, copper and
gold deposit, Toukhmanuk mine, and at least thirteen other adjacent
exploration sites. Global Gold has been conducting a drill program
there to confirm the historical data and develop mining plans. Announcement
of the results and analysis is now expected in the third quarter
of 2007. Issues arising from the outside Laboratory have delayed
these announcements, and the company has invested in its own international
class laboratory facility at Toukhmanuk with control checks done
outside Armenia. In addition, the 2007 drilling and exploration
programs are underway at Getik and Marjan properties, with results
anticipated by the fourth quarter of 2007. The company also owns
royalty and participation rights in the country, and reaffirmed
its long term commitments there. Its royalty and other interests
in Iberian Resources projects there have passed to Tamaya Resources
(www.Tamayaresources.com)
following the successful merger of those two companies and its shareholdings
in Iberian have now become twenty million shares of Tamaya's common
stock. This year, Global Gold expanded its awards of shares to local
employees in Armenia substantially, and has seen positive reactions.
Global Gold has an office in Santiago, Chile, and engages in exploration
and development. It currently has a royalty interest in the Santa
Candelaria copper/gold property in the Chanaral District III in
Chile, recently added a local geologist to its local staff, and
is actively engaged in reviewing exploration and production options
in Chile.
Van Krikorian, Chairman and CEO stated "We are pleased with
the commodity and sovereign diversification the company has put
together, our management, employees, and our short, medium, and
long term prospects. The last year has seen us make progress on
a number of acquisitions and operations challenges and we have done
so by maintaining the highest of standards. We are not satisfied,
of course, and we know we need to do more work in partnership with
our investors and partners to move to the next level. This year's
plans are aggressive, but well underway, and we thank everyone who
is helping us improve the company."
Following the annual shareholders meeting, the Board also adopted
a nominating and governance charter which emphasizes the role of
independent directors, consistent with the company's commitment
to best practices in internal operations, environmental responsibility,
and social responsibility. The charter can be accessed through the
Global Gold website, and includes the following: "Communication
with Directors. The Board believes that it is important to offer
stockholders the opportunity to communicate with the Board about
Company issues and developments. Stockholders who wish to communicate
with the Board may do so by sending written communications addressed
to the Board of Directors, Global Gold Corporation, 45 East Putnam
Avenue, Greenwich, CT 06830 or by email at ggc@globalgoldcorp.com."
In personnel changes, Global Gold announces that Mike Mason has
stepped down as President for personal reasons and will be a consultant
to the company. Mr. Mason's resignation as President is effective
as of Monday June 18, 2007, and Senior Vice President Agnerian will
be assuming his duties on an interim basis. Mr. Agnerian, with the
Board's approval, has substantially increased his commitment
to Global Gold, and his employment contract was amended accordingly.
The company's Chief Financial Officer and controller have
also switched positions. Jan Dulman, the former controller has become
a full time employee and was named CFO. Lester Caesar, the former
CFO, will now serve as the company's controller on a part
time basis.
Mr. Krikorian concluded "We all appreciate everything Mike
did for us at some very critical times in the company's growth.
He is a quality person, we wish him well in the future, and we are
glad he will still be available to us. We also thank Les Caesar
for his time as CFO and continuing to serve as controller, while
Jan Dulman steps up to the CFO position. Jan is familiar with all
of our operations, including in Armenia where he spent time last
year, and we appreciate his increased commitment to Global."
