NR: Global Platinum + Gold, Inc. Announces Order For Production Facility SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- The following is being issued by Global Platinum + Gold, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GPGI - news): Global is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement to have a small turnkey production facility constructed and delivered to our mill site in approximately three weeks from date. This agreement arises out of a successful laboratory demonstration wherein Global's leach solutions were found to be compatible with a technology provided to us by our supplier. For the past number of weeks, Global has been engaged in developing and testing a new leach and precipitation method. The assays of the leach precipitate show significant amounts of gold, platinum, palladium and rhodium. As of this date, Global has in inventory approximately 75 pounds of dried precipitate and intends to recover the precious metals therefrom utilizing this new production facility. Global believes these recent developments represent an extraordinary turning point in Global's ability to recover platinum group metals from its ores. It is to be emphasized the turnkey facility we have now contracted for to be constructed and delivered to our mill site is in essence a pilot plant. Once a determination is made this technology works satisfactorily, then Global intends to move up to a much larger production facility. Our supplier has also agreed to make available their technical personnel to put the plant into operation and train Global's personnel in the operation of the plant. One of the many advantages of using this technology is that the platinum group metals alluded from each days operations require little or no further refining and can be sold immediately to the end user.
