EPZ Esperanza Resources Corp.

Esperanza Resources Corp. ("Esperanza" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:EPZ) is
pleased to announce the strategic investment of $1.45 Million in Global Minerals
Ltd. ("Global"). The investment will ultimately yield Esperanza a 36.4% equity
interest in Global. Global's primary asset is the Streborna silver-copper
deposit in Slovakia. This is an advanced stage exploration project.


Global raised $2,550,000 through the issuance of 23,066,667 common shares at a
price of $0.075 per share for gross proceeds of up to $1,730,000 and 10,933,333
special warrants at a price of $0.075 per special warrant for gross proceeds of
$820,000. Esperanza subscribed for 8,400,000 common shares resulting in a 19.9%
ownership interest in Global. In addition, Esperanza subscribed for all of the
Special Warrants, which will convert automatically into 10,933,333 common
shares, without payment of additional consideration, upon receipt of approval by
Global's shareholders of Esperanza becoming a 'control person' of Global (36.4%
ownership interest after giving effect to the conversion of the special warrants
into common shares), which approval is to be sought at the Global's Annual and
Special Meeting scheduled to be held on Friday, December 3, 2010. If such
shareholder approval is not obtained, the special warrants will convert
automatically into a non-convertible secured debenture in the principal amount
of $820,000 bearing interest at 8% per annum, with a term of 18 months. Global
paid a total of $156,380 in finders' fees. All securities issued are subject to
a four month hold period expiring February 21, 2011. The proceeds from the
private placement will be used for debt retirement and working capital.


Bill Pincus, Esperanza's President, said, "This investments allows us to get a
firm position in a developing project that we are confident will yield excellent
results." More information on the Streiborna project can be found on Global's
