Gold Reserve Inc. has history in mining dating back to 1956 and was formed for the purpose of acquiring, exploring and developing mining properties and placing them into production. Consistent with that strategy, the Company in 1992 acquired and began developing what is now known as the Brisas gold and copper project, located in the historic Km 88 mining district of the State of Bolivar in southeastern Venezuela (the “Brisas Project”). The Brisas deposit, which is one of the largest undeveloped gold/copper deposits in the world, contains ore reserves of 10.2 million ounces of gold and 1.4 billion pounds of copper. From 1992 to 2009, the Company invested close to US $300 million on among other things acquisition, land exploration, development, equipment, and engineering costs, which the Company believed developed the Brisas Project into a world class mining project.

Since Kazakhstan gained independence in 1991, we at ENRC have worked hard to create a leading diversified natural resources group with fully integrated mining, processing, energy and transport operations.This transformation has produced a thriving international business with yearly revenue in excess of US$6.8bn, capital expenditure of around US$1.3bn in 2008 and over 65,000 employees.Contributing significantly to Kazakhstan's GDP, our group is now one of the world's largest producers of ferrochrome; one of the world's significant exporters of iron ore; the world's ninth largest producer of traded alumina; and one of the largest electricity providers in Kazakhstan.Underpinning this strong growth is the stability that comes from our significant, proven reserves, low production costs, cost-effective energy supply and integrated logistics.Together these protect us from the cyclical trends and volatility of the market, making us one of the industry's most reliable suppliers.With our production centred in Kazakhstan, and our developed and efficient structure and processes, we are perfectly positioned - geographically and as a business - to extend our strong regional presence as the market for natural resources shifts eastwards towards Russia, China and India.In adapting to these new opportunities, we will remain committed to the principles that have guided us throughout: committed leadership, sustained investment, technical innovation, and strong ethics.
