SCHEDULE AND COMMENCES PRODUCTION — GOVERNMENT APPROVES MINING PLAN

MacReport (press release), NY
Aug 3, 2006

GREENWICH, CT–Aug 2, 2006 — Global Gold Corporation (OTC BB:GBGD.OB
– News) () today announced the planned
acquisition of the remaining 49% of Mego-Gold, LLC, the company
holding the licenses to the Tukhmanuk mine and exploration areas in
Armenia. According to the August 1, 2005 acquisition agreement,
Global Gold Mining, LLC acquired a 51% interest for $1.5 million and
was to pay another $2 million by August 1, 2007; the agreement,
amended as of July 19, 2006, allows for the acquisition of the
remaining 49% in exchange for $1 million and 500,000 shares of Global
Gold Corporation’s stock.

The Tukhmanuk property consists of over 4,100 hectares in the Aparan
region. The property hosts numerous quartz veins with gold and
polymetallic mineralization. The presence of the mineralized zones
suggested by the existing maps have been confirmed by field mapping
in the 1st quarter of this year and detailed mapping is ongoing to
define and surface sample the mineralized zones to 1:10,000 scale.

Historical GKZ (State Committee on Reserves) records in the P1, C1
and C2 categories indicate a target of 12.1 million tonnes of
mineralization, averaging 6.74 g/t gold and 30.79 g/t silver,
including 2.6 million oz/gold and 11.9 million oz./silver. Global
Gold is updating the categories of this mineralization.

The existing gravity concentration plant has been serviced and
upgraded to full capacity with the addition of a new drive motor for
the second mill and additional tails recirculation line to attempt to
improve recovery. A fully functional sample preparation facility has
been installed with western standard equipment including AAS (Atomic
Absorption Spectrometry) analysis capability for plant and grade
control samples.

Two Caterpillar 325 excavators, a Caterpillar D9R bulldozer, 2 x 20
tonne GRAZ trucks and a grader have recently been purchased for use
in addition to equipment previously purchased for the open pit mining
of the oxide zone above the Armenian approved C1/C2 category
mineralization. A mining plan has been submitted and approved by the
relevant Armenian Governmental authorities for the mining and
processing of an expected 150,000 tonnes of oxide material over a 2
year period. Production has commenced, and full plant commissioning
is anticipated in October.

Drilling of the C1/C2 category mineralization is also in progress
with a program of 10,000 meters planned to confirm the resource and
carry out western standard reserve/resource estimation at year end;
2,500m of drilling have been completed to date. The terms of the
amended acquisition agreement for Mego-Gold provide for the payment
of the $1 million and delivery of 500,000 shares of Global Gold
Corporation on or before August 19, 2006 and also contain a
contingency allowing the sellers to sell back the 500,000 shares on
or before September 15, 2007 for a payment of $1 million if Global
Gold Corporation stock is not traded at or above $2.50 at any time
between July 1, 2007 and August 31, 2007.

To date, Global Gold has focused its activities at Tukhmanuk,
Hankavan and surrounding areas in the North Central Armenian belt. At
Hankavan, a drill program is underway to follow up on the 2005 drill
program. Global Gold is also conducting exploration at Getik in
Northern Armenia and holds joint venture interests with Iberian
Resources at the southern Armenian Marjan and Litchkvaz projects.

Global Gold Corporation also owns a twenty percent participation
right in any new exploration undertaken in Armenia by Sterlite Gold
Limited or its successors.
