We have acted as counsel for Global Resource Corporation ("Company") in
connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement on Form

1,900,000 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001
per share ("Common Stock") by Professional Offshore Opportunity Fund, Ltd.
"POOF"), a selling security holder, and (ii) up to an additional 625,000 shares
(the "Warrant Shares") of the Company's Common Stock issuable upon POOF's
exercise of a warrant dated December 21, 2007 (the "Warrant") issued by the
Company to POOF.

We have reviewed the corporate action of Company in connection with this matter
and have examined and relied upon such documents, corporate records, and other
evidence as we have deemed necessary for the purpose of this opinion. In our
examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal
capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us
as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to
us as certified, photostatic or facsimile copies and the authenticity of the
originals of such copies. We have relied as to certain matters on information
obtained from public officials, officers of the Company, and other sources
believed by us to be responsible.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion:

      (a) The Company is a corporation duly organized and in good standing under
the laws of Nevada;

      (b) The Company has taken all requisite corporate action and all action
required with respect to the authorization, issuance and resale of the Shares
and the Warrant Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement; and

      (c) With respect to the Shares , including the Warrant Shares duly
issuable upon due conversion, exchange or exercise of the Warrants, when (i) the
Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act, (ii) the
Shares have been sold as contemplated by the Registration Statement and (iii)
the Company has received the consideration provided for in the Warrants for the
Warrant Shares, and the consideration provided for the sale of 250,000 of the
shares of Common Stock included within the 1,900,000 such shares that are part
of this Registration Statement, the Common Stock for the Shares including the
aforesaid 250,000 such shares and the Warrant Shares will be validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable.
