Greystar Resources Announces Intent to Apply for a Secondary Listing in Colombia

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Oct. 19, 2009) - Greystar Resources Ltd. (the "Company")
(TSX:GSL)(AIM:GSL) is pleased to announce that it has appointed Citivalores S.A. Sociedad Comisionista
de Bolsa in Colombia to advise the Company on the listing of its shares on the "RNVE", the Registro
Nacional de Valores y Emisores in Colombia, as well as on the "BVC", the Bolsa de Valores de Colombia.
Both listings will qualify as secondary listings, and the Company's primary exchange will remain the
Toronto Stock Exchange. The Company shall also retain its listing on AIM.

If these applications are accepted, the dual listings will enable the Company to expand its
institutional and retail shareholder base in Colombia where it is developing its Angostura gold-silver
deposit. The Company does not anticipate making an offering in conjunction with these listings and
therefore there will be no dilution to existing shareholders.

David Rovig, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "We believe that this listing is important, as it
will allow Colombians to participate in the development of the multi-million ounce Angostura gold and
silver deposit. It is our hope that pension funds and individual investors in Colombia will see an
investment in Greystar as an opportunity to support their own economy through the responsible
development of the country's natural resources."

The listing on the BVC will be subject to the local regulations applicable to foreign issuers, issued
by the Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia, BVC, Central Depository System (DECEVAL) as well as
any other regulation or authority that should apply to this transaction. The application process is
expected to take approximately three months, following the completion of all regulatory steps. All
reporting and disclosure regulations, including corporate governance, voting rights and proxy voting
will be in accordance with Canadian and Colombian regulations, as applicable to foreign investors.

Greystar Resources will appoint a depository agent in Colombia to maintain shareholder records and
this agent will be responsible for dividend payments, if any, and all other matters regarding
shareholder rights, as determined by the company's shareholders.
