Greystar Resources and The International Finance Corporation Initiate Royalty Education Program in Angostura
Communities

BUCARAMANGA, COLOMBIA--(Marketwire - Dec. 14, 2009) - The International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of
the World Bank, and Greystar Resources Ltd. (TSX:GSL)(AIM:GSL) have initiated a program to support the
Municipality of California in establishing effective strategies for management of royalty revenue to be
generated from the Angostura gold-silver project. The program will also advise the Vetas and Surata
Municipalities in an effort to attract Government resources for the purpose of improving the living conditions
of each of the communities.

It is hoped that this US$330,000 initiative (Greystar US$224,000 contribution) will result in an increase of
community involvement and public management of Angostura royalties, providing opportunities for all local
stakeholders. The two and a half year program will be measured by the adoption of "best practices" in municipal
investment and the increase in the number of residents with access to better education, health and potable
water supplies.

"This IFC/Greystar initiative is part of an ongoing social responsibility effort within the communities
surrounding the Angostura gold-silver project. The goal is to achieve growth and sustainable development within
the region by implementing programs that build community participation.", stated Frederick Felder, the
Executive Vice President of Greystar, "This program, combined with others which are currently being designed
with both the IFC and the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), have as their objective to mitigate
the social and environmental impacts of the Angostura project on the local communities."

Roberto Albisetti, IFC Manager for Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela, highlighted the IFC's commitment to
support initiatives focused on improving the living conditions of communities where natural resources are
extracted. "This project has the potential to determine new social and environmental standards for Colombia, as
well as increasing employment opportunities in the country and additional benefits for the local communities."

Greystar Resources Ltd. is currently completing a Bankable Feasibility Study and Environmental Impact Study of
the Angostura gold-silver project. Subject to a positive Bankable Feasibility Study, permitting approval and
successful project finance, Angostura is expected to begin production in 2012. Upon commercial production
Angostura will generate estimated royalties for the Municipality of California of US$10-$15 million annually.
