Esperanza Completes Further Strategic Investment in Global Minerals Ltd.

   Esperanza Resources Corp. ("Esperanza") (TSX VENTURE: EPZ) is pleased to announce a further strategic investment of $1.456 million in Global Minerals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: CTG) pursuant to a private placement by Global which raised $4,001,000 on November 22, 2010. Esperanza, by this investment, maintains its 19.9% ownership interest in Global. This will ultimately grow to a 37.9% interest in Global upon approval by its shareholders of special warrants held by Esperanza.

Bill Pincus, Esperanza's President, said, "Esperanza is excited to be participating in this emerging company and to have the ability to influence its development." Global's primary asset is the Streborna silver-copper deposit in Slovakia, an advanced stage exploration project. More information on the Streiborna project can be found on Global's website: www.globalminerals.com.

Esperanza purchased 2,021,863 units (each unit consisting of one common share and one-half of a share purchase warrant, each whole warrant exercisable to purchase a further share for $0.55 until November 22, 2012) for $0.35 per unit to maintain its 19.9% ownership interest in Global and now holds 10,421,863 shares of Global. Esperanza also purchased 2,138,037 special warrants for $0.35 each, which will convert automatically, without payment of additional consideration, into 2,138,0371 units upon receipt of approval by Global's shareholders of Esperanza becoming a 'control person' of Global. Upon the conversion of the special warrants, including special warrants acquired by it in October, Esperanza will hold 23,493,233 shares of Global, representing a 36.0% ownership interest in Global, and warrants to purchase a further 2,079,950 shares. Shareholder approval is to be sought at Global's Annual and Special General Meeting scheduled to be held on Friday, December 3, 2010. If shareholder approval is not obtained, the special warrants will automatically convert into a non-convertible secured debenture in the principal amount of $748,313 bearing interest at 8% per year, with a term of 18 months.

Esperanza's investment was made section 2.10 of National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus and Registration Exemptions of the Canadian Securities Administrators. Presently, Esperanza does not have any intention of acquiring any further securities of Global, but may acquire ownership of or control over further securities in the future depending upon market circumstances.
