(CTG:TSXV, DFP:Frankfurt)\nis pleased to announce the following update for the company's high grade\nsilver/copper Strieborna Mine project in Slovakia.\n\n\nCommissioned A Review Of The Metallurgical Processing For The Strieborna\n\n\nMine\n\n\nThe Center for Advanced Mineral & Metallurgical Processing Montana Tech\nof the University of Montana under the direction of Eur. Ing. Dr. Corby G.\nAnderson QP CEng FIChemE, Director and Principal Process Engineer (formerly\nthe Chief Metallurgical Engineer of the Sunshine Mining and Refining Company)\nhave been retained to prepare a metallurgical study of the mineralized\nmaterial ("ore") from the Strieborna Project. The purpose of this study is to\nprepare a preliminary description along with flowsheets, layouts and equipment\nlists for milling and hydrometallurgical treatment of Strieborna vein silver\nores at Roznova. And to estimate the Order of Magnitude CAPEX for the\n500 tonne per day mill and for the alkaline sulfide hydrometallurgical plant,\nas well as order of magnitude estimate of electrical energy used per tonne of\nmilled and leached ore to produce electro-won antimony metal and a copper\nconcentrate acceptable for smelters. All of these preliminary estimates should\nbe based on actual operating experience and data, but would be subject to\nformalized and optimized confirmatory testing. The review should be available\nfor release in February 2008.\n\n\nMining Authorizations Obtained\n\n\nMining authorizations for Global Slovakia have been obtained. The\nauthorizations are issued by the Mining Bureau certifying that the company is\nqualified (staffed with personnel with the required professional\ncertifications) to conduct the permitting process, mine rehabilitation, and,\nfurthermore, to plan and execute the eventual mining and processing\noperations.\n\n\nFinal Permit Submittals Nearing\n\n\nProject work is underway to finalize submittals to the Slovakia Mining\nBureau for Mining Permits. Submittals should be completed shortly, and,\nbarring any unforeseen circumstances, Global Minerals Slovakia expects to\nobtain all of the necessary mining permits for the Strieborna Mine in the\nsecond half of 2008.
