VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Nov 24, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) ----Greystar Resources Ltd. (the "Company") (TSX: GSL)(AIM: GSL) announced that the Company has entered into a binding purchase agreement with Sociedad Minera La Plata Ltda., a private Colombian company, for an exclusive option to acquire a 100% working interest in the La Plata property ("La Plata"). La Plata comprises 78 hectares of mineral rights situated to the southwest and along strike of Ventana's La Mascota discovery and Galway Resources El Dorado and Machuca targets located in the California mining district of Colombia (see map posted at www.greystarresources.com).

The La Plata property occurs within a mineralized belt related to the northeast-southwest trending La Baja Fault, which has given rise to a number mineralized occurrences. This mineralization, which has traditionally been mined by local artisanal miners, is now the focus of more modern exploration methods. Within the La Baja structural domain, gold and silver mineralization is associated with flexures along the main fault. This has given rise to such deposits as the Pie de Gallo, which is now called El Dorado by Galway, and Ventana's La Mascota target.

Exploration carried out by Greystar during the second quarter of 2009 has identified vein and stockwork mineralization associated with strong alteration hosted in a dacite porphyry. Rock samples from mine tunnels on site have returned gold assays ranging from no significant gold up to 9.66 grams per tonne gold and silver assays ranging from no significant silver up to 94.3 grams per tonne silver.

Frederick Felder, Executive Vice President, Greystar Resources commented, "The La Plata property is contiguous with existing Greystar holdings on the majority of its borders and greatly enhances our land position in the southern Mascota - Machuca trend. We are very excited about the exploration results we have received to date at La Plata. We intend to quickly move forward with a drilling program to test surface mineralization at depth."

The terms of the purchase agreement include staged payments totaling US$1.9 million; the staged issuance of 160,000 share purchase warrants and minimum annual work commitments, all over a four-year period to acquire a 100% working interest in the property. In addition, if Greystar develops an economically viable ore body at La Plata, the Company will pay a one-time payment of US$7 per ounce of gold and US$0.10 per ounce of silver for extractable reserves up to a maximum of 750,000 ounces. The transaction is subject to the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.

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.
