Global Hunter Corp. (BOB.V)

In ancient times a number of substances were collectively known by the Greek word 'molybdos,' meaning lead-like. Molybdenite (MoS2), the most abundant molybdenum-containing mineral, was in this class along with lead, galena, graphite and others. Though they did not distinguish between these various compounds, the ancients certainly used molybdenite. One example of their insight, a 14th century Japanese sword, has been found to contain molybdenum as an alloying element.

In 1768, the Swedish scientist Carl Wilhelm Scheele determined that molybdenite was a sulfide compound of an as-yet unidentified element, by decomposing it in hot nitric acid and heating the product in air to yield a white oxide powder. In 1782, at Scheele's suggestion, Peter Jacob Hjelm chemically reduced the oxide with carbon, obtaining a dark metal powder that he named 'molybdenum.'

Molybdenum remained mainly a laboratory curiosity until late in the 19th century, when technology for the extraction of commercial quantities became practical. Experiments with steel demonstrated that molybdenum could effectively replace tungsten in many steel alloys. This change brought weight benefits, since the atomic weight of tungsten is nearly twice that of molybdenum. In 1891, the French company Schneider & Co. first used molybdenum as an alloying element in armour plate steel.

Global Hunter's focus is on strategic and base metals, with an advanced stage copper oxide project in Chile and a highly prospective molybdenum property in British Columbia, Canada. Their exploration and development teams are on the ground rapidly advancing the La Corona de Cobre property near La Serena, Chile and the Rabbit South property in British Columbia, Canada. Either one of these projects could carry the company forward on a stand-alone basis, but together they bring the company additional stability, strength and value.

Global Hunter Corp. engages in the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties in Canada and Chile. It primarily explores for gold, copper, and base and precious metals. The company was founded in 1988 and is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada.

Global Hunter Corp. announced that it has been completed a surface sampling program at La Corona de Cobre. The program was designed to collect surface samples from the numerous prospective shear zones. This will aid in the definition of drill targets to expand on the copper oxide mineralization. The company has collected approximately 250 samples from the shear zones listed below.

The shear zones and areas of alteration that have been sampled (from East to West) include the following zones:

- El Manto, La Golondrina, Cerro Borracho, El Tazon, La Copa, La Varrilla, Et Tazon, Vino Fino, Abisinia.

The samples have been collected from outcrops along the entire strike lengths of the shears and will shipped to ALS Chemex Labs in La Serena Chile for analysis.
