About Global Minerals

Global Minerals' business model is to acquire attractive, near-term producing assets while continuing to explore for world-class gold and silver mineral deposits in geopolitically stable countries.

The company occupies a market niche by focusing on the development of advanced-stage, high grade, mid-tier sized ore bodies. This segment of the mining industry has been abandoned by the major mining companies in their quest for "World Class" mineral deposits.
