The Board of Trustees of The Gabelli Global Gold, Natural Resources & Income Trust (Amex:GGN)
declared monthly cash distributions of $0.14 per share for January, February, and March 2007.
The distribution for January 2007 will be payable on January 25, 2007 to shareholders of record
on January 17, 2007.
The distribution for February 2007 will be payable on February 22, 2007 to shareholders of
record on February 13, 2007.
The distribution for March 2007 will be payable on March 26, 2007 to shareholders of record
on March 16, 2007.
The Fund intends to make regular monthly cash distributions of all or a portion of its investment
company taxable income (which includes ordinary income and realized short-term capital gains) to
common shareholders. The Fund also intends to make annual distributions of its net realized
long-term capital gains. Various factors will affect the level of the Fund's income, such as
its asset mix and use of covered call strategies. To permit the Fund to maintain more stable
monthly distributions, the Fund may from time to time distribute more or less than the entire
amount of income earned in a particular period. Because the Fund's distribution policy is subject
to modification by the Board of Trustees at any time and the Fund's income will fluctuate, there
can be no assurance that the Fund will pay distributions at a particular rate. Each quarter, the
Board of Trustees will review the amount of any potential distribution based on the income,
capital gains, or capital available.
Long-term capital gains, qualified dividend income, ordinary income, and paid-in capital, if any,
will be allocated on a pro-rata basis to all distributions to common shareholders for the year.
As of November 16, 2006, the date of this press release, each of the distributions paid in 2006
would include approximately 4% from net investment income and 96% from net capital gains. The
estimated components of each distribution are provided to shareholders of record in a notice
accompanying the distribution and are available on our website (www.gabelli.com). The final
determination of the sources of all distributions in 2006 will be made after year-end. All
shareholders with taxable accounts will receive written notification regarding the components
and tax treatment for all 2006 distributions in early 2007 via Form 1099-DIV. The composition
of each distribution paid in 2007 will be based on the Fund's investment activity during the
2007 calendar year.
