About Strieborná

Strieborna, located in eastern Slovakia (a full-fledged member of the European Union), is a highgrade silver-copper-antimony deposit with a defined resource. The project is part of an historic mining district near the town of Roznava, known for its iron ore production and the neighbouring Maria Mine (now shut down). The resource occurs within a mineralized structure 1.2 kilometres long, 600 metres deep and having an average thickness of 3.4 metres. The resource has been defined by previous drilling and a series of four horizontal underground drifts totaling 3,000 metres. The mineralization is open in various directions along the vein structure. Other similar structures have been identified within the mining and exploration leases, and these will also be tested for metal potential in this and the subsequent drill programs.

Besides the upside exploration potential and the high-grade nature of the polymetallic mineralization, the project has excellent infrastructure, including sufficient electrical power,
Global’s Head Office: Suite 910, 475 Howe Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 2B3 railway access, paved highways and a work force experienced with underground operations. Underground access is available through the adjacent Maria Mine workings.
