VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- 11/09/09 --
Greystar Resources Ltd. (the "Company") (TSX: GSL)(AIM: GSL) is pleased to announce that the Company will initiate two exploration drill programs to investigate both the extensions of high grade mineralization at the Angostura gold-silver deposit and near surface oxide gold mineralization recently discovered at the Mongora prospect.
High Grade Drill Program
The high grade drill program will focus on targeting extensions of high grade shoots that exist within the Angostura deposit. In addition, the drill program will probe the unexplored potential for feeder mineralization underlying Angostura. The first drill holes will target the Los Laches area were previously drilled, but not published, core holes LL08-24 and QP08-03 returned excellent results. A cross section has been posted at Greystar Resources website www.greystarresources.com.

Note 1: Down hole width has not been corrected but based on drill holes and structural dip of the mineralization, the interval is considered to be close to true width.
Mongora Drill Program
Similar to the Angostura deposit, the Mongora prospect hosts higher-grade gold mineralization including 16.3 grams gold per tonne over 1.05 metres and 12.35 grams over 1.6 metres within broader zones of lower-grade gold mineralization. The delineation of oxide gold mineralization at the Mongora area could be very important for the Angostura project. The potential of outlining a new oxide resource that could be added to the 2.26 million ounce oxide resource (measured and indicated) already defined at the Angostura deposit could have favorable implications for the overall economics of the entire Angostura project. Preliminary metallurgical evaluations are underway.
The above information has been reviewed and approved by Mr. Frederick Felder, P.Geo., a "qualified person" as that term is defined in National Instrument 43-101 and Guidance Note for Mining, Oil and Gas Companies issued by the London Stock Exchange in respect of AIM companies, which outline standards of disclosure for mineral projects. Mr. Felder is a geologist with more than 40 years of industry experience and a member in good standing with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia.
