For more information on the joint venture agreement between Global Gold Corporation and Caldera Resources Inc., please refer to our press releases of December 21, 2009 at http://cnw.ca/en/releases/archive/December2009/21/c4944.html and March 24, 2010 at http://cnw.ca/en/releases/archive/March2010/24/c4645.html.
The President and CEO of Caldera, Mr. Bill Mavridis stated: "We continue to meet all our milestones in positioning Caldera to becoming a potential gold mining company. My business strategy was to focus our Company on potential near term projects rather than exploring geophysical and geochemical gold anomalies. By focusing on projects with Soviet-Era historical mineral resources, we are meeting that strategic goal and creating value for our shareholders. We have already completed the first phase of our sampling program which will be used to confirm the Soviet-Era gold and silver resources on the project. Samples are being shipped out to the UK-based Alex Stewart Group's certified laboratory in Moscow, and we expect results by early August. By that time we hope to have also updated our maps and completed a ground electro-magnetic survey to confirm drilling targets for our drilling program which is expected to commence in late summer. This work is being performed to confirm the gold and silver hosting potential of the Marjan Deposit and to establish a 43-101 qualified resource. We are excited about the future prospects for Caldera and for our shareholders."
