Gold Reserve is a mining company with a history in mining dating back to 1956. The company s mining operations are located in Venezuela, with corporate offices in Washington. The company was formed for the purpose of acquiring, exploring and developing mining properties and placing them into production. Its growth strategy is to progress from an exploration company to a gold producer through the development of proven and probable reserves at its Brisas property and by making selective property and corporate acquisitions. The Brisas property refers to the Brisas alluvial gold concession. The company, through a wholly owned Venezuelan subsidiary, acquired the mining title to the Brisas alluvial gold concession in 1992 and the mining title for gold, copper and molybdenum contained in the hard rock in 1998. Gold Reserve is headquartered in Spokane, Wash.
