Re: Prudential Global Natural Resources Fund, Inc.
Rule 24f-2 Notice
Registration Statement File No. 33-15166 and File No. 811-5206
Ladies and Gentlemen:
As counsel for Prudential Global Natural Resources Fund, Inc., a Maryland
corporation (the "Fund"), we have examined the proceedings taken and being
taken with respect to the Notice filed by the Fund pursuant to Rule 24f-2
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"), making
definite in number the shares registered pursuant to that Rule for the fiscal
year ended May 31, 1996.
We have examined all instruments, documents and records which, in our
opinion, were necessary
of examination for the purpose of rendering this opinion. Based upon such
examination, we are of the opinion that the 8,209,843 shares of common stock,
$.01 par value per share, which were registered in indefinite number and sold
in reliance on Rule 24f-2 under the Act were, when issued by the Fund,
validly authorized and issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion pursuant to Rule 24f-2 and to
the reference to us
in the Notice filed herewith.
Very truly yours,
/s/ GARDNER, CARTON & DOUGLAS
