         Re:  Notice Pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment
                  Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act")


Gentlemen:

         I  am  Senior  Vice  President  of  and  General  Counsel  to  Keystone
Investment  Management Company,  investment adviser to Keystone Global Resources
and Development Fund (the "Fund"). You have asked for my opinion with respect to
the  issuance  of 494,629  shares of the Fund under the  Fund's  Declaration  of
Trust,  as  supplemented  ("Declaration  of Trust"),  and pursuant to the Fund's
indefinite  registration  of such  shares  pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the 1940
Act.  The Fund is filing its Rule 24f-2 Notice to which this opinion is appended
to make the issuance of such shares definite in number for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1997.

         To my  knowledge,  a  Prospectus  is on file  with the  Securities  and
Exchange   Commission  as  part  of  Post-Effective   Amendment  No.  3  to  the
Registration  Statement  covering  the  public  offering  and sale of the Fund's
shares for the period during which such shares were issued.

         In my opinion,  such shares,  if issued and sold in accordance with the
Declaration  of Trust,  By-Laws and offering  Prospectus,  were legally  issued,
fully paid, and nonassessable by the Fund,  entitling the holders thereof to the
rights set forth in the  Declaration  of Trust and  By-Laws  and  subject to the
limitations stated therein.

         My opinion is based upon my examination of the  Declaration of Trust; a
review of the minutes of the Fund's Board of Trustees,  signed by the  Secretary
of the Fund, authorizing the registration of shares pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under
the  1940  Act and  the  issuance  of such  additional  shares;  and the  Fund's
Prospectus.  In my examination of such documents, I have assumed the genuineness
of all signatures and the conformity of copies to originals.

         I hereby consent to the use of this opinion in connection with the Rule
24f-2  Notice filed by the Fund making  definite  the number of such  additional
shares issued.



                                                    Sincerely yours,

                                                    /s/ Rosemary D. Van Antwerp

                                                    Rosemary D. Van Antwerp
                                                    Senior Vice President
                                                    and General Counsel
