GGR Geoglobal Resources Inc.

GeoGlobal Resources Inc. ("GeoGlobal" or the "Company") (NYSE MKT:GGR) (NYSE Amex:GGR) announces that on January 16, 2013 it entered into an Agreement with a private Israeli investment group to sell 90% of the issued shares of the Company's Israeli subsidiary, GeoGlobal Resources (Israel) Ltd. ("GRL"), in exchange for an Investor's Loan of US$775,000 to be used to repay shareholder loans to GeoGlobal, subject to certain terms and conditions.

GRL does not hold any of the ownership in the Myra, Sara and Samuel licences in Israel which are currently held in other GeoGlobal subsidiaries.

Under the terms of the Agreement, there is a 14 business day due diligence period. Closing is expected to take place on or before March 15, 2013 unless otherwise extended, subject to certain terms and conditions. Such terms and conditions include among others, receipt of written approval of the Petroleum Commissioner at the Ministry of Energy and Water Resources of Israel for GRL to serve as an "Operator" in petroleum exploration activities in Israel at depths exceeding 1,000 meters.

Upon closing, US$625,000 of the Investor's Loan will be paid into GRL, to be used firstly to discharge any and all third party liabilities and obligations of GRL, with the remainder to be paid to GeoGlobal by way of a repayment of previous shareholder's loans. The remaining US$150,000 of the Investor's Loan will only be advanced in the event that GRL enters into a Services Contract during a period of one year from closing.

"Through this deal we have pulled together expertise to execute exploration programs and make an Israeli based operator. We have brought together the owners of the Israeli Shipyards Ltd. lead by Shlomi Fogel to provide shore base and logistics support, the proven Engineering and Drilling expertise lead by Ken Stanley that has been part of the existing major discoveries in Israel, and the Geology and Geophysics expertise and local experienced staff of GGR. The combination of the three owners brings the key elements together for a well balanced team to execute on exploration programs in Israel. I am excited by the possibilities and continued investment opportunities that this transaction will provide GGR as new blocks become available in the region," says Paul B. Miller, President and CEO.
