Glass Earth Gold Limited (TSX VENTURE: GEL)(NZAX: GEL) ("Glass Earth") announced today that it has filed its September 30 2010, third quarter Financial Statements and associated Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") report pertaining to that period with the requisite regulatory authorities.

The Company recorded a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2010 of $266,000, which included a non-cash expense of $174,000 being the deemed value of options granted to employees and directors. The Company's cash position as at September 30, 2010 was $1,322,000.

Placer gold mining operations provided a net cash contribution of $138,000 for the quarter.

Exploration activities were steady in Q3, but subsequent to refinancing in June 2010, increased exploration and operational activity is planned including:


--  WKP West - surface mapping and additional geophysical data planned to
    assist in the targeting of additional step-out drilling. Decision on
    further drilling pending.
--  Muirs - multi-hole drilling program commenced in October 2010.
--  Ophir - completion of an evaluation study by 30 November. Mining
    decision pending.
--  Placer production - A replacement placer mine is expected to be put into
    production in early December. Resource definition on several other
    prospects is underway. Third gold recovery unit being built.

The Company is an exploration company and therefore classified as being at a 'development stage', as it has limited mining or other significant income. With all general and administration expenses being expensed, the Company records losses each year arising from the expensing of these cash operating costs as well as other non-cash expense items. Periodical reviews of capitalised exploration expenditures is undertaken and write offs and provisions are expensed to the Consolidated Statements of Operations, Comprehensive Loss and Deficit.

Mineral exploration costs, which form the bulk of the Company's expenditures, were at reduced levels during the early part of the year as cash was conserved and placer mining development efforts progressed. Increased exploration activity is planned for Q4.


The net loss for the year to date includes significant non-cash items:-
