ITEM 4.           PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         The information in Item 4 is hereby supplemented with the addition of

         Item 5(c) is hereby supplemented with the addition of the following

Other than this private purchase of securities from a single individual, during

ITEM 6.           CONTRACTS,  ARRANGEMENTS,  UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS

         THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered
into this 25th day of February, 2005, by and among Robert A. Garrison, an
individual (the "Seller"), on the one hand, and the purchasers identified on the
signature page hereof (each individually a "Purchaser" and together, the
"Purchasers"), on the other hand.

                                    RECITALS:

         WHEREAS, the Seller holds title to one million four hundred
twenty-three thousand one hundred and sixty-seven (1,423,167) shares of Common
Stock of Global Gold Corporation (OTCBB Symbol: GBGD) ("the Common Stock")
currently held in the Seller's name, 313,412 of which are "restricted
securities" for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"), and
1,109,755 of which are unrestricted securities.

         WHEREAS, the Seller desires to sell to the Purchasers, and the
Purchasers desire to purchase from the Seller that number of shares of Common
Stock set forth opposite each Purchaser's name on Schedule A hereto (in the
aggregate, the "Transferred Shares") held by the Seller, upon the terms and
conditions set forth herein.

                                   AGREEMENT:

hereby agree as follows:

the Seller the amount set forth opposite such Purchaser's name on Schedule A
hereto, at Twenty-Five Cents ($0.25) per share, equaling in the aggregate Three
Hundred Fifty-Five Thousand Seven Hundred Ninety One


                                      -1-

duly executed assignment documents, and (ii) each Purchaser will deliver to the
Seller the portion of the Purchase Price set forth against such Purchaser's name
in Schedule A hereto.

         3.       Representations and Warranties of Seller.
                  ----------------------------------------

         Seller hereby represents and warrants to each Purchaser as follows:

                  a.    Ownership of Stock. The Seller is the sole record and
beneficial owner of, and has good and valid title to, the Transferred Shares
free and clear of any liens, claims, equities, encumbrances, security interests
and restrictions of any kind and has full and complete legal right, power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to duly perform its
obligations hereunder.

                  b.    Validity. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid
and binding obligation of the Seller.

                  c.    Consents and Approvals. The execution and delivery of
this Agreement, the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby and the
performance by the Seller of the terms and conditions hereof do not (i) require
the approval or consent of any governmental authority or the approval or consent
of any other person; or (ii) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of
any law or regulation or contractual or other obligation applicable to the
Seller or the Transferred Shares or by which the Seller or the Transferred
Shares is or are bound.

                  d.    Shares Unrestricted. Of the Transferred Shares that are
hereunder sold, conveyed, transferred, and delivered by the Seller to Firebird
Avrora Fund., Ltd., Firebird Republics Fund, Ltd. and Firebird Global Master
Fund, Ltd. (collectively, the "Funds"), 313,412 shares of Common Stock are
"restricted securities" (the "Restricted Shares") and are being sold, conveyed,
transferred, and delivered by the Seller to the Funds pursuant to an applicable
exemption from registration under the Act. Of the remaining Transferred Shares
that are hereunder sold, conveyed, transferred, and delivered by the Seller to
the Purchasers (the "Unrestricted Shares"), none of such 1,109,755 shares of
Common Stock are "restricted securities" under the Act and all such shares are
freely tradable without having to be included in a registration statement filed
with, and declared effective by, the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant
to Section 5 of the Act. The Unrestricted Shares satisfy all of the requirements
of Rule 144(k) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Act, are being sold, conveyed, transferred, and delivered by the Seller to the
Purchasers pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144(k),
and are freely tradable by the purchasers thereof.


                                      -2-






                  e.    No Broker. The Seller has not committed any act or
omission which would give rise to any claim against any party hereto for a
brokerage commission, finder's fee, or other like payment in connection with the
transaction contemplated hereby.

         4.       Representations and Warranties of Purchasers.
                  --------------------------------------------

         Each of the Purchasers, severally and not jointly, and for itself only
and not with respect to any of the other Purchasers, hereby represents and
warrants to the Seller as follows:

                  a.    No Broker. Such Purchaser has not committed any act or
omission which would give rise to any valid claim against any of the parties
hereto for a brokerage commission, finder's fee, or other like payment in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

                  b.    Validity. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid
and binding obligation of such Purchaser.

         5.       Termination.
                  -----------

         If the Closing has not occurred on or before March 11, 2005 this
Agreement may be terminated at any time by any Purchaser or the Seller,

Agreement shall be null and void, except for the provisions of Sections 3(e),
