    ARMENIAN AUTHORITIES REJECT CRIMINAL COMPLAINT AGAINST CALDERA

    The Police of the Republic of Armenia have rejected a criminal
    complaint filed against Caldera Resources Inc. ("Caldera" or the
    "Company") on September 14, 2010 by senior executives of Global Gold
    Corporation ("GBGD").

    According to the Marketwatch.com, the decision from the General
    Investigation Department rejects the false and misleading claims of
    GBGD and found no evidence of a crime by Caldera's representatives.

    As a result, the criminal investigation against Caldera has been
    terminated.

    "We are pleased that Armenia's Police Department confirmed what we
    already knew, that no crime was committed by any representative of
    Caldera, " said Bill Mavridis, President of Caldera and Marjan-Caldera
    Mining LLC.

    "The decision is a rebuke to GBGD's Chairman, CEO, Director and
    Legal Counsel, Mr. Van Krikorian, and his Country Manager, Mr. Ashot
    Boghossian, who have made false and misleading statements to Armenia's
    Prosecutor's Office, Police and the US Government to intimidate and
    extort the project away from Caldera," said he.

    "It is my hope that in light of this development the Board of Directors
    of GBGD will take appropriate action to deal with the reckless actions
    of their CEO and their fellow director."

    Further, the website said that Krikorian and his agent's in Armenia
    appear to be justifying their actions by claiming that the JVA was a
    "preliminary arrangement".

    "The formulation of their complaint contradicts the clear terms of
    the joint venture agreement, signed between the parties on March
    24, 2010, further approved by the TSX-Venture exchange on June 17,
    2010 and finally approved by resolutions signed by GBGD and Caldera
    on June 18, 2010 stating that 100% of the shares of Marjan Mining
    Company are transferred to the JV, the website wrote.

    The rejected complaint also includes a false accusation that Caldera's
    representatives used "fake" documents to register the transfer of
    the shares of Marjan Mining Company, the Armenian subsidiary holding
    the license to the Marjan Gold and Silver Project. Based on these
    alleged actions GBGD falsely claimed that 100% of their shares of
    Marjan Mining Company were stolen and transferred to Marjan-Caldera
    Mining LLC, the joint venture company, it added.
