Clear and Apparent Fraud at GBGD and Toukhmanuk Gold Mine

On July 5, 2013, GBGD and Mr. Van Krikorian (President and CEO) signed a deal with Linne Mining to act as the CONTRACT MINER for the development of its Toukhmanuk Gold Mine, in Armenia.

By November 2015, Van Krikorian announced in its SEC quarterly filings (10-Q), that the Toukhmanuk project was delayed because the contract miner "requested" to be relieved of its obligations under the mining contract agreement.

To this date, Van Krikorian has failed to post a copy of Linne Mining's letter or provide any clarification to investors, why Linne Mining requested to be "relieved" of it obligations. 

Three months later, the reason for Linne Mining's actions have started to become crystal clear. Linne has been swindled by Van Krikorian and GBGD. There is no gold worth mining at the Toukhmanuk Gold Mine. Here is the proof.

Two documents, which were prepared for Linne Mining, surfaced on the web last week. These two documents outline that the database provided by GBGD and used to calculate the gold resources and to develop the resources models are "fake". GBGD's claim that it has over 2 million oz of gold appears to be overstated by at least 1.9 million ounces.

A third document, which was published today (see below or click), the author published that he reviewed the resource models, used by Behre Dolbear and published in the Independent Technical Report of the Toukhmanuk Mine Project And Getik Prospect, Armenia, In Conformance with NI 43-101 Guideline, on October 17, 2011. The author determined that the data in the models were corrupted in a way that certain gold grades were switched with the silver grades. The net effect is that the gold resources were overvalued, making the resource models worthless.  This is the worst type of fraud in mining, manipulating data to create the appearance of a valuable gold mine. Not as blatant as seeding samples with gold as in BRE-X case in 1997, but up there.

From my experience it is difficult to accept that this is an error. I have discovered that Van Krikorian and GBGD have published suspect data on their other projects and I have been reporting this since 2011.

I hope that the SEC finally shuts GBGD down and deals with this clear and apparent fraud.

(PS Don't forget, Van Krikorian and GBGD scammed their previous JV Partner, CRA. After receiving USD$7 MM investment, Van Krikorian claimed that GBGD was defrauded,  Now GBGD has swindled Linne Mining out of $3.4MM)

About this Blog: Between 2009 and 2012 I was an active investor in the mineral exploration sector in the Republic of Armenia. Our main project in Armenia was the MARJAN polymetallic gold and silver project located in near Sissian. My JV partner, Mr. Van Z. Krikorian, President of Global Gold Corp (otcqb: GBGD) and Trustee of the Armenian Assembly of America, used corrupt means including using his influence with the US EMBASSY in YEREVAN to secure an indictment against me for theft of the JV and to corrupt the Armenia judicial system to give him a favourable ruling.

Mr. Van Z. Krikorian is the President, CEO and Legal Counsel of Global Gold Corp. (otcqb:GBGD), a penny stock listed on the OTC markets. His public filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission fail to fully disclose the reality on the ground in Armenia in the promotion and development of GBGD's gold project, the TOUKHMANUK GOLD MINE. 
This blog is an effort to bring transparency of the activities of Global God Corp. (otcqb: GBGD) and Mr. Van Z. Krikorian in Armenia.

Local Villagers at MELIQ, OPPOSE Global Gold Corp's gold mining project in Armenia

The TOUKHAMNUK GOLD MINE License is coming up for renewal on February 28, 2015 and Global Gold Corp (OTCmarkets:GBGD) may lose the license. Frankly they should lose the license since they have failed to meet their contractual obligations under the terms of their mining contract. GBGD, has failed to mine 153,000 tones of ore through open pit operations and 1,095,250 tones od ore through underground mining operations. In fact, according to Government of Armenia RECORDS, GBGD only mined 86,400 tones of ore from open pit operations at the Toukhmanuk gold mine between 2006 - 2012. Nowhere near the 1,259,400 tones of ore required to be mined under the terms of the mining license issued in 2006. Even the local community opposes GBGD's subsidiary, Mego-Gold, to build a third tailings dam in the area to support future plans to operate the mine exclusively as an open pit operation. They failed to follow the terms of the first mining contract and now they want to be rewarded with

GAME OVER: Van Krikorian and Global Gold Corp.

It's time to say goodbye to Global Gold Corp  (pink: GBGD) and its sketchy President,  Van Krikorian . After years of defrauding employees and suppliers in the Republic of Armenia out of hundreds of thousands of dollars, swindling joint venture partners out of over US$12MM, and partially embezzling and money laundering these proceeds, its time to say goodbye to Global Gold Corp (pink: GBGD) and its President, CEO, Chairman, Director and Corporate Counsel,  Van Krikorian . On December 4, 2017, GBGD through the fraudulent actions of its President, Mr. Van Krikorian  along with the complicit support of its Board of Directors, transferred all of GBGD's assets and claims to its officers and directors, consolidated its shares 251:1, ceased becoming a reporting issuer, and went dark, leaving behind US$20,917,023 in liabilities, broken promises. dreams and a trail of fraud. I am sure that this tale is not over.  With the assets of GBGD in the hands of Van Krikorian and

Van Krikorian's TOUKHMANUK Gold Project is BANKRUPT

While visiting the PDAC, the international mining convention in Toronto, I met representatives of the Armenian Government at the Lydian booth. It was confirmed to me that Global Gold's project in Armenia is BANKRUPT. I have always said that the 2 million ounce GOLD resource that Van Krikorian was promoting at TOUKHMANUK was a complete fraud. Global Gold Corp is now defunct and delinquent and no longer files any financial statements. Don't be fooled by the $3.00 price quote, GBGD has rolled-back its shares 251x and now has approximately 386,000 shares outstanding. The company has transferred all its assets to its officers and directors and left $20 million in debts behind. Now its flagship asset is bankrupt, leaving behind unpaid salaries and unpaid bills in Armenia.
