99.1 Report of Voting Results at Annual and Special Meeting
June 30, 2006
Certain statements included herein, including those that express management's
expectations or estimates of our future performance or concerning the Brisas
Project, constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-
looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and
assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management at this time, are
inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive
uncertainties and contingencies. We caution that such forward-looking
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other risks that
may cause the actual financial results, performance, or achievements of Gold
Reserve Inc. to be materially different from our estimated future results,
performance, or achievements expressed or implied by those forward-looking
statements. Numerous factors could cause actual results to differ materially
from those in the forward-looking statements, including without limitation,
concentration of operations and assets in Venezuela; corruption and uncertain
legal enforcement; requests for improper payments; regulatory, political and
economic risks associated with Venezuelan operations (including changes in
previously established legal regimes, rules or processes); the ability to
obtain or maintain the necessary permits or additional funding for the
development of the Brisas Project; in the event any key findings or
assumptions previously determined by us or our experts in conjunction with our
2005 bankable feasibility study (as updated or modified from time to time)
significantly differ or change as a result of actual results in our expected
construction and production at the Brisas Project (including capital and
operating cost estimates); risk that actual mineral reserves may vary
considerably from estimates presently made; impact of currency, metal prices
and metal production volatility; fluctuations in energy prices; changes in
proposed development plans (including technology used); our dependence upon
the abilities and continued participation of certain key employees; and risks
normally incident to the operation and development of mining properties. This
list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the Company's
forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned not to put undue reliance
on forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-
looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf
are expressly qualified in their entirety by this notice. The Company
disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly these forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
