GAMCO Global Gold, Natural Resources & Income Trust
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Organization. GAMCO Global Gold, Natural Resources & Income Trust (the Fund) is a
non-diversified closed-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust on January 4, 2005 and registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). Investment operations commenced on March 31, 2005.
The Funds primary investment objective is to
provide a high level of current income. The Funds secondary investment objective is to seek capital appreciation consistent with the Funds strategy and its primary objective. The Fund will attempt to achieve its objectives, under normal
market conditions, by investing 80% of its assets in equity securities of companies principally engaged in the gold and natural resources industries. As part of its investment strategy, the Fund intends to earn income through an option strategy of
writing (selling) covered call options on equity securities in its portfolio. The Fund anticipates that it will invest at least 25% of its assets in the equity securities of companies principally engaged in the exploration, mining, fabrication,
processing, distribution, or trading of gold, or the financing, managing and controlling, or operating of companies engaged in gold related activities (Gold Companies). In addition, the Fund anticipates that it will invest at least 25%
of its assets in the equity securities of companies principally engaged in the exploration, production, or distribution of natural resources, such as gas and oil, paper, food and agriculture, forestry products, metals, and minerals as well as
related transportation companies and equipment manufacturers (Natural Resources Companies). The Fund may invest in the securities of companies located anywhere in the world.
The Fund may invest a high percentage of its assets in specific sectors of the market in order to achieve a potentially greater investment return. As a
result, the Fund may be more susceptible to economic, political, and regulatory developments in a particular sector of the market, positive or negative, and may experience increased volatility to the Funds NAV and a magnified effect in its
total return.
2. Significant Accounting Policies. As an investment company, the Fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting
guidance, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that may require the use of management estimates and assumptions in the preparation of its financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The
following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
New Accounting
Pronouncements. To improve the effectiveness of fair value disclosure requirements, the Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement
Disclosure Framework Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (ASU 2018-13), which adds, removes, and modifies certain aspects relating to fair value disclosure. ASU 2018-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption of the additions relating to ASU 2018-13 is not required,
even if early adoption is elected for the removals and modifications under ASU 2018-13. Management has early adopted the removals and modifications set forth in ASU
2018-13 in these financial statements and has not early adopted the additions set forth in ASU 2018-13.
Security Valuation. Portfolio securities listed or traded on a nationally recognized securities exchange or traded in the U.S. over-the-counter market for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sale price or a markets official closing price as of the close of
business on the day the securities are being valued. If there were no sales that day, the security is valued at the average of the closing bid and asked prices or, if there were no asked prices quoted on that day, then the security is valued at the
closing bid price on that day. If no bid or asked prices are quoted on such day, the security is valued at the most recently
15
GAMCO Global Gold, Natural Resources & Income Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
available price or, if the Board of Trustees (the Board) so determines, by such other method as the Board shall determine in good faith to reflect its fair market value. Portfolio securities
traded on more than one national securities exchange or market are valued according to the broadest and most representative market, as determined by Gabelli Funds, LLC (the Adviser).
Portfolio securities primarily traded on a foreign market are generally valued at the preceding closing values of such securities on the relevant market,
but may be fair valued pursuant to procedures established by the Board if market conditions change significantly after the close of the foreign market, but prior to the close of business on the day the securities are being valued. Debt obligations
for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the average of the latest bid and asked prices. If there were no asked prices quoted on such day, the securities are valued using the closing bid price, unless the Board determines such
amount does not reflect the securities fair value, in which case these securities will be fair valued as determined by the Board. Certain securities are valued principally using dealer quotations. Futures contracts are valued at the closing
settlement price of the exchange or board of trade on which the applicable contract is traded. OTC futures and options on futures for which market quotations are readily available will be valued by quotations received from a pricing service or, if
no quotations are available from a pricing service, by quotations obtained from one or more dealers in the instrument in question by the Adviser.
Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued as determined by the Board. Fair valuation methodologies and
procedures may include, but are not limited to: analysis and review of available financial and non-financial information about the company; comparisons with the valuation and changes in valuation of similar
securities, including a comparison of foreign securities with the equivalent U.S. dollar value American Depositary Receipt securities at the close of the U.S. exchange; and evaluation of any other information that could be indicative of the value of
the security.
The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Funds investments are summarized into three levels as
described in the hierarchy below:
|
●
|
Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;
|
|
●
|
Level 2 other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); and
|
|
●
|
Level 3 significant unobservable inputs (including the Boards determinations as to the fair value of
investments).
|
A financial instruments level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input both
individually and in the aggregate that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Additional Information to Evaluate Qualitative Information.
General. The Fund uses recognized industry pricing services approved by the Board and unaffiliated with the
Adviser to value most of its securities, and uses broker quotes provided by market makers of securities not valued by these and other recognized pricing sources. Several different pricing feeds are received to value domestic equity
securities, international equity securities, preferred equity securities, and fixed income securities. The data within these feeds are ultimately sourced from major stock exchanges and trading systems where these securities trade. The prices
supplied by external sources are checked by obtaining quotations or actual transaction prices from market participants. If a price obtained from the pricing source is deemed unreliable, prices will be sought from another pricing service or from a
broker/dealer that trades that security or similar securities.
Fair Valuation. Fair valued securities may be
common or preferred equities, warrants, options, rights, or fixed income obligations. Where appropriate, Level 3 securities are those for which market quotations are not available, such as securities not traded for several days, or for which
current bids are not available, or which are restricted as to transfer. Among the factors to be considered to fair value a security are recent prices of comparable securities that are publicly traded, reliable prices of securities not publicly
traded, the use of valuation models, current analyst reports, valuing the income or cash flow of the issuer, or cost if the preceding factors do not apply. A significant change in the unobservable inputs could result in a lower or higher value in
Level 3 securities. The circumstances of Level 3 securities are frequently monitored to determine if fair valuation measures continue to apply.
17
GAMCO Global Gold, Natural Resources & Income Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
The Adviser reports quarterly to the Board the results of the application of fair valuation policies
and procedures. These may include backtesting the prices realized in subsequent trades of these fair valued securities to fair values previously recognized.
Derivative Financial Instruments. The Fund may engage in various portfolio investment strategies by investing in derivative financial
instruments for the purposes of increasing the income of the Fund, hedging against changes in the value of its portfolio securities and in the value of securities it intends to purchase, or hedging against a specific transaction with respect to
either the currency in which the transaction is denominated or another currency. Investing in certain derivative financial instruments, including participation in the options, futures, or swap markets, entails certain execution, liquidity, hedging,
tax, and securities, interest, credit, or currency market risks. Losses may arise if the Advisers prediction of movements in the direction of the securities, foreign currency, and interest rate markets is inaccurate. Losses may also arise if
the counterparty does not perform its duties under a contract, or, in the event of default, the Fund may be delayed in or prevented from obtaining payments or other contractual remedies owed to it under derivative contracts. The creditworthiness of
the counterparties is closely monitored in order to minimize these risks. Participation in derivative transactions involves investment risks, transaction costs, and potential losses to which the Fund would not be subject absent the use of these
strategies. The consequences of these risks, transaction costs, and losses may have a negative impact on the Funds ability to pay distributions.
Collateral requirements differ by type of derivative. Collateral requirements are set by the broker or exchange clearing house for exchange traded
derivatives, while collateral terms are contract specific for derivatives traded over-the-counter. Securities pledged to cover obligations of the Fund under derivative
contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments. Cash collateral, if any, pledged for the same purpose will be reported separately in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Funds policy with respect to offsetting is that, absent an event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the master
agreement does not result in an offset of reported amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities across transactions between the Fund and the applicable counterparty. The enforceability of the right
to offset may vary by jurisdiction.
The Funds derivative contracts held at December 31, 2019, if any, are not accounted for as hedging
instruments under GAAP and are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments together with the related counterparty.
Options. The Fund may purchase or write call or put options on securities or indices for the purpose of increasing
the income of the Fund. As a writer of put options, the Fund receives a premium at the outset and then bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the financial instrument underlying the option. The Fund would incur a loss if the price of
the underlying financial instrument decreases between the date the option is written and the date on which the option is terminated. The Fund would realize a gain, to the extent of the premium, if the price of the financial instrument increases
between those dates.
As a purchaser of put options, the Fund pays a premium for the right to sell to the seller of the put option the underlying
security at a specified price. The seller of the put has the obligation to purchase the underlying security upon exercise at the exercise price. If the price of the underlying security declines, the Fund would realize a gain upon sale or exercise.
If the price of the underlying security increases or stays the same, the Fund would realize a loss upon sale or at the expiration date, but only to the extent of the premium paid.
18
GAMCO Global Gold, Natural Resources & Income Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
If a written call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the
underlying security in determining whether there has been a realized gain or loss. If a written put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the security. In the case of call options, the exercise prices are referred to as in-the-money, at-the-money, and out-of-the-money, respectively. The Fund may write (a) in-the-money
call options when the Adviser expects that the price of the underlying security will remain stable or decline during the option period, (b) at-the-money call
options when the Adviser expects that the price of the underlying security will remain stable, decline, or advance moderately during the option period, and (c) out-of-the-money call options when the Adviser expects that the premiums received from writing the call option will be greater than the appreciation in the price of the underlying security
above the exercise price. By writing a call option, the Fund limits its opportunity to profit from any increase in the market value of the underlying security above the exercise price of the option. Out-of-the-money, at-the-money, and in-the-money put options (the reverse of call options as to the relation of exercise price to market price) may be utilized in the same market environments that such call options are used in equivalent
transactions. Option positions at December 31, 2019 are reflected within the Schedule of Investments.
The Funds volume of activity in
equity options contracts during the year ended December 31, 2019 had an average monthly market value of approximately $41,466,261.

Investments, Securities Sold Short, Written Options, and Foreign Currency, within Net realized loss on written options, and Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on written options.
Limitations on the Purchase and Sale of Futures Contracts, Certain Options, and Swaps. Subject to the guidelines of the Board, the Fund may
engage in commodity interest transactions (generally, transactions in futures, certain options, certain currency transactions, and certain types of swaps) only for bona fide hedging or other permissible transactions in accordance with
the rules and regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Pursuant to amendments by the CFTC to Rule 4.5 under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA), the Adviser has filed a notice of exemption from registration as a commodity
pool operator with respect to the Fund. The Fund and the Adviser are therefore not subject to registration or regulation as a commodity pool operator under the CEA. In addition, certain trading restrictions are now applicable to the Fund which
permit the Fund to engage in commodity interest transactions that include (i) bona fide hedging transactions, as that term is defined and interpreted by the CFTC and its staff, without regard to the percentage of the Funds assets
committed to margin and options premiums and (ii) non-bona fide hedging transactions, provided that the Fund does not enter into such non-bona fide hedging
transactions if, immediately thereafter, either (a) the sum of the amount of initial margin deposits on the Funds existing futures positions or swaps positions and option or swaption premiums would exceed 5% of the market value of the
Funds liquidating value, after taking into account unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any such transactions, or (b) the aggregate net notional value of the Funds commodity interest transactions would not exceed 100% of the
market value of the Funds liquidating value, after taking into account unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any such transactions. Therefore, in order to claim the Rule 4.5 exemption, the Fund is limited in its ability to invest in
commodity futures, options, and certain types of swaps (including securities futures, broad based stock index futures, and financial futures contracts). As a result, in the future the Fund will be more limited in its ability to use these instruments
than in the past, and these limitations may have a negative impact on the ability of the Adviser to manage the Fund, and on the Funds performance.
Securities Sold Short. The Fund may enter into short sale transactions. Short selling involves selling securities that may or may not be
owned and, at times, borrowing the same securities for delivery to the purchaser, with an obligation to replace such borrowed securities at a later date. The proceeds received from short sales are recorded as liabilities and the Fund records an
unrealized gain or loss to the extent of the difference between the proceeds received and the value of an open short position on the day of determination. The Fund records a realized gain or loss when the short position is closed out. By entering
into a short sale, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security sold short. Dividends on short sales are recorded as an expense by the Fund on the ex-dividend date and
interest expense is recorded on the accrual basis. The broker retains collateral for the value of the open positions, which is adjusted periodically as the value of the position fluctuates. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Fund
incurred $13,464 in service fees related to its investment positions sold short and held by the broker. These amounts are included in the Statement of Operations under Expenses, Service fees for securities sold short.
Investments in Other Investment Companies. The Fund may invest, from time to time, in shares of other investment companies (or entities
that would be considered investment companies but are excluded from the definition pursuant to certain exceptions under the 1940 Act) (the Acquired Funds) in accordance with the 1940
20
GAMCO Global Gold, Natural Resources & Income Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Act and related rules. Shareholders in the Fund would bear the pro rata portion of the periodic expenses of the Acquired Funds in addition to the Funds expenses. For the year ended
December 31, 2019, the Funds pro rata portion of the periodic expenses charged by the Acquired Funds was less than 1 basis point.
Foreign Currency Translations. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments, and other
assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Unrealized gains and losses that result from changes in foreign exchange rates and/or changes in market prices of securities have been included in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments and foreign currency translations. Net realized
foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions, foreign currency transactions, and the difference
between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the books of the Fund and the amounts actually received. The portion of foreign currency gains and losses related to fluctuation in exchange rates between the initial purchase trade date and
subsequent sale trade date is included in realized gain/(loss) on investments.
Foreign Securities. The Fund may directly purchase
securities of foreign issuers. Investing in securities of foreign issuers involves special risks not typically associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers. The risks include possible revaluation of currencies, the inability to repatriate
funds, less complete financial information about companies, and possible future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign issuers and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than
securities of comparable U.S. issuers.
Foreign Taxes. The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments, or
currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.
Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in securities for which the markets are restricted. Restricted
securities include securities whose disposition is subject to substantial legal or contractual restrictions. The sale of restricted securities often requires more time and results in higher brokerage charges or dealer discounts and other selling
expenses than the sale of securities eligible for trading on national securities exchanges or in the over-the-counter markets. Restricted securities may sell at a price
lower than similar securities that are not subject to restrictions on resale. Securities freely saleable among qualified institutional investors under special rules adopted by the SEC may be treated as liquid if they satisfy liquidity standards
established by the Board. The continued liquidity of such securities is not as well assured as that of publicly traded securities, and, accordingly, the Board will monitor their liquidity. For the restricted securities the Fund held at
December 31, 2019, refer to the Schedule of Investments.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions
are accounted for on the trade date with realized gain/(loss) on investments determined by using the identified cost method. Interest income (including amortization of premium and accretion of discount) is recorded on an accrual basis. Premiums and
discounts on debt securities are amortized using the effective yield to maturity method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities that are
recorded as soon after the ex-dividend date as the Fund becomes aware of such dividends.
21
GAMCO Global Gold, Natural Resources & Income Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Custodian Fee Credits and Interest Expense. When cash balances are maintained in the
custody account, the Fund receives credits which are used to offset custodian fees. The gross expenses paid under the custody arrangement are included in custodian fees in the Statement of Operations with the corresponding expense offset, if any,
shown as Custodian fee credits. When cash balances are overdrawn, the Fund is charged an overdraft fee equal to 110% of the 90 day U.S. Treasury Bill rate on outstanding balances. This amount, if any, would be included in the Statement
of Operations.
Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions to common shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Distributions to shareholders are based on income and capital gains as determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from income and capital gains as
determined under GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities and foreign currency transactions held by the Fund, timing differences, and differing characterizations of
distributions made by the Fund. Distributions from net investment income for federal income tax purposes include net realized gains on foreign currency transactions. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the
extent these differences are permanent, adjustments are made to the appropriate capital accounts in the period when the differences arise. Permanent differences were primarily due to the tax treatment of currency gains and losses, capitalized
dividends on securities sold short, and disallowed expenses. These reclassifications have no impact on the NAV of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2019, reclassifications were made to decrease
paid-in capital by $62,486, with an offsetting adjustment to total accumulated loss.
The Fund declares and
pays monthly distributions from net investment income, capital gains, and paid-in capital. The actual source of the distribution is determined after the end of the year. Distributions during the year may be
made in excess of required distributions. Distributions sourced from paid-in capital should not be considered as dividend yield or the total return from an investment in the Fund. The Board will continue to
monitor the Funds distribution level, taking into consideration the Funds NAV and the financial market environment. The Funds distribution policy is subject to modification by the Board at any time.
Distributions to shareholders of the Funds 5.000% Series B Cumulative Preferred Shares (Series B Preferred) are accrued on a daily basis and are
determined as described in Note 5.
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was as follows:

Provision for Income Taxes. The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company
under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). It is the policy of the Fund to comply with the requirements of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net
investment company taxable income and net capital gains. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Fund paid excise tax of $165.

appreciation/depreciation were primarily due to deferral of losses from wash sales for tax purposes, mark-to-market adjustments on investments in passive foreign
investment companies, and adjustments on investments in partnerships.

The Fund is required to evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds
tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Income tax and related interest and penalties would be recognized by
the Fund as tax expense in the Statement of Operations if the tax positions were deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold. Except as disclosed above, for the year ended December 31, 2019, the
Fund did not incur any income tax, interest, or penalties. As of December 31, 2019, the Adviser has reviewed all open tax years and concluded that there was no impact to the Funds net assets or results of operations. The Funds
federal and state tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain open, subject to examination. On an ongoing basis, the Adviser will monitor the Funds tax positions to determine if adjustments to this conclusion are necessary.
3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions. The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement (the Advisory Agreement) with
the Adviser which provides that the Fund will pay the Adviser a fee, computed weekly and paid monthly, equal on an annual basis to 1.00% of the value of the Funds average weekly net assets including the liquidation value of preferred shares.
In accordance with the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser provides a continuous investment program for the Funds portfolio and oversees the administration of all aspects of the Funds business and affairs.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Fund paid $172,793 in brokerage commissions on security
23

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
trades to G.research, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser.
During the year ended
December 31, 2019, the Fund received credits from a designated broker who agreed to pay certain Fund operating expenses. The amount of such expenses paid through this directed brokerage arrangement during this period was $5,856.
The cost of calculating the Funds NAV per share is a Fund expense pursuant to the Advisory Agreement between the Fund and the Adviser. Under the sub-administration agreement with Bank of New York Mellon, the fees paid include the cost of calculating the Funds NAV. The Fund reimburses the Adviser for this service. During the year ended December 31,
2019, the Fund accrued $45,000 in accounting fees in the Statement of Operations.
As per the approval of the Board, the Fund compensates officers of
the Fund, who are employed by the Fund and are not employed by the Adviser (although the officers may receive incentive based variable compensation from affiliates of the Adviser). For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Fund accrued $176,351
in payroll expenses in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund pays each Trustee who is not considered an affiliated person an annual retainer of
$15,000 plus $2,000 for each Board meeting attended. Each Trustee is reimbursed by the Fund for any out of pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings. All Board committee members receive $1,000 per meeting attended, the Audit Committee Chairman
receives an annual fee of $3,000, and the Nominating Committee Chairman and the Lead Trustee each receives an annual fee of $2,000. A Trustee may receive a single meeting fee, allocated among the participating funds, for participation in certain
meetings held on behalf of multiple funds. Trustees who are directors or employees of the Adviser or an affiliated company receive no compensation or expense reimbursement from the Fund.
4. Portfolio Securities. Purchases and sales of securities during the year ended December 31, 2019, other than short term securities and U.S.
Government obligations, aggregated to $606,620,126 and $661,354,040, respectively.
5. Capital. The Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of common shares of beneficial interest (par value $0.001). Pursuant to a $500 million shelf registration, during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Fund has sold its common shares in at the market offerings

The Fund has an effective shelf registration authorizing the offering of an additional $500 million of common
shares or preferred shares.
The Funds Declaration of Trust, as amended, authorizes the issuance of an unlimited number of $0.001 par value
Preferred Shares. The Series B Preferred are callable at any time at the liquidation value of $25 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The Board has authorized the repurchase of the Series B Preferred in the open market at prices less than
the $25 liquidation value per share. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Fund repurchased and retired 18,634 of the Series B Preferred in the open market at an investment of $420,467, and an average discount of approximately 9.78% from
its liquidation preference. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Fund repurchased and retired 31,874 of the Series B Preferred in the open market at an investment of $686,647 and an average discount of approximately 13.87% from its
liquidation preference. At December 31, 2019, 3,465,849 Series B Preferred were outstanding and accrued dividends amounted to $60,171.
The
Series B Preferred is senior to the common shares and results in the financial leveraging of the common shares. Such leveraging tends to magnify both the risks and opportunities to common shareholders. Dividends on the Series B Preferred are
cumulative. The Fund is required by the 1940 Act and by the Statement of Preferences to meet certain asset coverage tests with respect to the Series B Preferred. If the Fund fails to meet these requirements and does not correct such failure, the
Fund may be required to redeem, in part or in full, the Series B Preferred at the redemption price of $25 per share plus an amount equal to the accumulated and unpaid dividends whether or not declared on such shares in order to meet the
requirements. Additionally, failure to meet the foregoing asset coverage requirements could restrict the Funds ability to pay dividends to common shareholders and could lead to sales of portfolio securities at inopportune times. The income
received on the Funds assets may vary in a manner unrelated to the fixed rate, which could have either a beneficial or detrimental impact on net investment income and gains available to common shareholders.
The holders of Preferred Shares generally are entitled to one vote per share held on each matter submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Fund and will
vote together with holders of common shares as a single class. The holders of Preferred Shares voting together as a single class also have the right currently to elect two Trustees and, under certain circumstances, are entitled to elect a majority
of the Board of Trustees. In addition, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of all outstanding shares of the Preferred Shares, voting as a single class, will be required to approve any plan of reorganization
adversely affecting the Preferred Shares, and the approval of two-thirds of each class, voting separately, of the Funds outstanding voting shares must approve the conversion of the Fund from a closed-end to an open-end investment company. The approval of a majority (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the outstanding Preferred Shares and a

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
majority (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Funds outstanding voting securities are required to approve certain other actions, including changes in the Funds investment objectives or
fundamental investment policies.
6. Indemnifications. The Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The
Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Funds existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
7. Subsequent Events. Management has evaluated the impact on the Fund of all subsequent events occurring through the date the financial
statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

GAMCO Global Gold, Natural Resources & Income Trust
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
GAMCO Global Gold, Natural Resources & Income Trust:
Opinion on the
Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of GAMCO
Global Gold, Natural Resources & Income Trust (the Fund) as of December 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets attributable to common
shareholders for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as the
financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes
in its net assets attributable to common shareholders for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2019 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds financial
statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these
financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to
error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2019 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Mr. Colavitas father, Anthony J. Colavita, and Mr. Fahrenkopfs daughter, Leslie F. Foley, serve

Mr. Zizza is an independent director of Gabelli International Ltd., which may be deemed to be controlled by Mario
J. Gabelli and/or affiliates and in that event would be deemed to be under common control with the Funds Adviser. On September 9, 2015, Mr. Zizza entered into a settlement with the SEC to resolve an inquiry relating to an alleged
violation regarding the making of false statements or omissions to the accountants of a company concerning a related party transaction. The company in question is not an affiliate of, nor has any connection to, the Fund. Under the terms of the
settlement, Mr. Zizza, without admitting or denying the SECs findings and allegation, paid $150,000 and agreed to cease and desist committing or causing any future violations of Rule 13b2-2 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Board has discussed this matter and has determined that it does not disqualify Mr. Zizza from serving as an Independent Director.

A Form 1099-DIV has been mailed to all shareholders of record
which sets forth specific amounts to be included in your 2019 tax returns. Ordinary distributions may include net investment income, realized net short term capital gains, and foreign tax paid. Ordinary income is reported in box 1a of Form 1099-DIV. Capital gain distributions are reported in box 2a of Form 1099-DIV.
Corporate Dividends Received Deduction, Qualified Dividend Income, and U.S. Government Securities Income
In 2019, the Fund paid to common and Series B Cumulative Preferred shareholders ordinary income dividends of $0.00540 and $1.25 per
share, respectively. For 2019, 71.17% of the ordinary dividend qualified for the dividend received deduction available to corporations, 100% of the ordinary income distribution was deemed qualified dividend income, and 15.88% of ordinary income
distribution was qualified interest income. The percentage of ordinary income dividends paid by the Fund during 2019 derived from U.S. Government securities was 10.20%. Such income is exempt from state and local taxes in all states. However, many
states, including New York and California, allow a tax exemption for a portion of the income earned only if a mutual fund has invested at least 50% of its assets at the end of each quarter of its fiscal year in U.S. Government securities. The Fund
did not meet this strict requirement in 2019. The percentage of U.S. Government securities held as of December 31, 2019 was 15.33% of total investments.

(c) Per share ordinary investment income and investment income are grossed up for the foreign tax credit.

All designations are
based on financial information available as of the date of this annual report and, accordingly, are subject to change. For each item, it is the intention of the Fund to designate the maximum amount permitted under the Internal Revenue Code and the
regulations thereunder.

The Fund intends to generate current income from short term
gains primarily through its strategy of writing (selling) covered call options on the equity securities in its portfolio. Because of its primary strategy, the Fund forgoes the opportunity to participate fully in the appreciation of the underlying
equity security above the exercise price of the option. It also is subject to the risk of depreciation of the underlying equity security in excess of the premium received.

AUTOMATIC DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT
AND VOLUNTARY CASH PURCHASE PLANS
Enrollment in the Plan
It is the policy of GAMCO Global Gold, Natural Resources & Income Trust to automatically reinvest dividends payable to
common shareholders. As a registered shareholder, you automatically become a participant in the Funds Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the Plan). The Plan authorizes the Fund to credit shares of common stock to participants
upon an income dividend or a capital gains distribution regardless of whether the shares are trading at a discount or a premium to net asset value. All distributions to shareholders whose shares are registered in their own names will be
automatically reinvested pursuant to the Plan in additional shares of the Fund. Plan participants may send their stock certificates to American Stock Transfer (AST) to be held in their dividend reinvestment account. Registered shareholders wishing
to receive their distribution in cash must submit this request in writing to:
GAMCO Global Gold, Natural Resources & Income Trust
c/o American Stock Transfer
6201 15th Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11219
Shareholders
requesting this cash election must include the shareholders name and address as they appear on the share certificate. Shareholders with additional questions regarding the Plan or requesting a copy of the terms of the Plan may contact AST at
(888) 422-3262.
If your shares are held in the name of a broker, bank, or nominee, you
should contact such institution. If such institution is not participating in the Plan, your account will be credited with a cash dividend. In order to participate in the Plan through such institution, it may be necessary for you to have your shares
taken out of street name and re-registered in your own name. Once registered in your own name, your dividends will be automatically reinvested. Certain brokers participate in the Plan. Shareholders
holding shares in street name at participating institutions will have dividends automatically reinvested. Shareholders wishing a cash dividend at such institution must contact their broker to make this change.
The number of shares of common shares distributed to participants in the Plan in lieu of cash dividends is determined in the following
manner. Under the Plan, whenever the market price of the Funds common shares is equal to or exceeds net asset value at the time shares are valued for purposes of determining the number of shares equivalent to the cash dividends or capital
gains distribution, participants are issued shares of common shares valued at the greater of (i) the net asset value as most recently determined or (ii) 95% of the then current market price of the Funds common stock. The valuation date is
the dividend or distribution payment date or, if that date is not a New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) trading day, the next trading day. If the net asset value of the common shares at the time of valuation exceeds the market price of the common shares,
participants will receive shares from the Fund valued at market price. If the Fund should declare a dividend or capital gains distribution payable only in cash, AST will buy common stock in the open market, or on the NYSE or elsewhere, for the
participants accounts, except that AST will endeavor to terminate purchases in the open market and cause the Fund to issue shares at net asset value if, following the commencement of such purchases, the market value of the common shares
exceeds the then current net asset value.
The automatic reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions will not relieve
participants of any income tax which may be payable on such distributions. A participant in the Plan will be treated for federal income tax purposes as having received, on a dividend payment date, a dividend or distribution in an amount equal to the
cash the participant could have received instead of shares.
Voluntary Cash Purchase Plan
The Voluntary Cash Purchase Plan is yet another vehicle for our shareholders to increase their investment in the Fund. In order to
participate in the Voluntary Cash Purchase Plan, shareholders must have their shares registered in their own name.
Participants in
the Voluntary Cash Purchase Plan have the option of making additional cash payments to AST for investments in the Funds shares at the then current market price. Shareholders may send an amount from $250 to $10,000. AST will use these funds to
purchase shares in the open market on or about the 1st and 15th of each month. AST will charge each shareholder who participates a pro rata share of the brokerage commissions. Brokerage charges for such purchases are expected to be less than the
usual brokerage charge for such transactions. It is suggested that any voluntary cash payments be sent to American Stock Transfer, 6201 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219 such that AST receives such payments approximately 10 days before the 1st and
15th of the month. Funds not received at least five days before the investment date shall be held for investment until the next purchase date. A payment may be withdrawn without charge if notice is received by AST at least 48 hours before such
payment is to be invested.
Shareholders wishing to liquidate shares held at AST must do so in writing or by telephone. Please
submit your request to the above mentioned address or telephone number. Include in your request your name, address, and account number. The cost to liquidate shares is $1.00 per transaction as well as the brokerage commission incurred. Brokerage
charges are expected to be less than the usual brokerage charge for such transactions.
For more information regarding the Dividend
Reinvestment Plan and Voluntary Cash Purchase Plan, brochures are available by calling (914) 921-5070 or by writing directly to the Fund.
The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan as applied to any voluntary cash payments made and any dividend or
distribution paid subsequent to written notice of the change sent to the members of the Plan at least 90 days before the record date for such dividend or distribution. The Plan also may be amended or terminated by AST on at least 90 days written
notice to participants in the Plan.
