Greystar Hits More Gold-Bearing Oxide Mineralization at Mongora
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Aug. 25, 2009) - Greystar Resources Ltd. ("Greystar" or the
"Company") (TSX:GSL)(AIM:GSL) reports that exploratory drilling three kilometres south of its multi-million
ounce Angostura gold-silver resource in northeastern Colombia continues to intersect near surface, gold-bearing
oxide mineralization.
The latest drill results from the Mongora area of the Angostura property included 31 metres grading 0.96 gram
gold per tonne starting from surface in one hole and 13.1 metres grading 0.54 gram gold per tonne starting from
21.9 metres in another drill hole. Higher-grade gold values like 9.77 grams gold per tonne over 2 metres also
continued to be encountered at depth.
"The delineation of oxide gold mineralization at the Mongora area is very exciting for the Angostura project,"
said Greystar's Executive Vice President, Frederick Felder, P.Geo. "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 has very favourable implications for the overall economics of the entire Angostura
project. We will be ramping up exploration efforts in this area once the drilling for the hydrogeological and
geotechnical programs on the Angostura deposit is completed."
Highlights of the additional drilling results from the Mongora area include:

The exploration drill program at Mongora was halted in May when all the diamond drills were dedicated to the
Angostura feasibility study work. A total of eight machines are currently working on hydrogeological and
geotechnical programs, which are now over 70% complete. Drilling is expected to resume at Mongora in September.
The Current Status of the Angostura Geotechnical and Hydrogeological program is as follows:

Based on the December 2008, resource update estimation, the Angostura deposit hosts a measured resource of
148.9 million tonnes grading 0.78 gram gold for 3.736 million contained ounces of gold; an indicated resource
of 182 million tonnes grading 1.34 grams gold for 7.813 million contained ounces of gold. Combined, the
measured and indicated resources host 11.5 million ounces of gold in 330.9 million tonnes of material grading
1.09 grams gold per tonne, plus an inferred resource of 3.472 million ounces of gold in 90.8 million tonnes
grading 1.11 grams gold per tonne. Resource estimation was undertaken in compliance with CIM mineral resource
and mineral reserve definitions that are referred to in National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure
for Mineral Projects. A location map of the Angostura drilling, along with a map of the underground tunnel work
and an updated concession map, can be accessed from the Company's home page link at Greystar's website.

REVIEW BY QUALIFIED PERSON, QUALITY CONTROL AND REPORTS
The results of the Company's drilling program have been reviewed, verified (including sampling, analytical and
test data) and compiled by the Company's geological staff (which includes a qualified person, Frederick Felder,
P.Geo., for the purpose of 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). Frederick Felder, P.Geo., has over 30 years of mineral exploration experience, is a member
in good standing with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia and is
the qualified person responsible for this release.
The Company has implemented a quality control program to ensure sampling and analysis of all exploration work
is conducted in accordance with the best possible practices. Under these quality assurance measures, drill core
is sawn into halves with one half of the core prepped on site and samples shipped to ALS-Chemex Laboratory (ISO
9002 registered) in Vancouver, B.C. for analysis. The remainder of the core is retained for future assay
verification. Gold analysis is conducted by fire assay (one assay tonne) using an atomic absorption finish. The
laboratory re-assays using the ALS-Chemex protocol, and additional checks may be run on anomalous values.
Greystar has independent re-analysis and sample preparation checks run at other accredited laboratories. The
Company also introduces background blanks prepared from previously analyzed core samples from the Angostura
Project.
