Greenwich Mean Time


What is GMT and why do we use it?

Greenwich Mean Time (or GMT) is an internationally recognised base time system that provides a fixed reference point from which local times are derived

Because Greenside Minerals operates across many time-zones it is important that we use a single widely recognised time. By adopting this approach we are able to avoid the problems and mis-understandings that might otherwise arise

However, this does not mean you are limited to seeing your transaction times in GMT. If you have registered on this website, you can set the time-difference of your home zone on the Personal Information page. So for instance if you reside in New York simply enter a value of -5 (minus 5, the number of hours New York is behind GMT) and all date and times displayed on this website will be correct for your time-zone

Note: you would also have to adjust for any local daylight saving regimes that are operated in your area
