VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Oct. 13, 2009) - Greystar Resources Ltd. (the "Company") (TSX:GSL)(AIM:GSL) announced that David Rovig will retire from the positions of President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Rovig will be appointed to the new position of Chairman of the Board of Directors where he will continue a guiding role in the development of Greystar Resources. Greystar has engaged an international executive search firm to identify a candidate to fill the vacancy. Mr. Rovig will continue as President and CEO until a replacement has been secured.

David Rovig, commented, "I have served as President of Greystar for 15 years and I am very proud of the accomplishments that we have achieved during that time in Colombia. As Greystar moves from a developer to a producer, it is time to pass the leadership role on to a new generation who will move forward with the construction of the Angostura gold-silver project. I am committed to see Angostura developed in a responsible and sustainable manner. Angostura will provide an important economic engine for Colombia providing employment for the local people, support for local businesses as well as a solid tax base for the National and Provincial Governments. Development of Angostura and its environs also portends a bright future for Greystar and its shareholders. As Chairman, I look forward to working with the Board of Directors to realize the full potential of the Company."
