GYD Grayd Resource Corporation

Grayd Resource Corporation (TSX VENTURE:GYD) today reported that all results
from 2009 drilling have now been received and a new resource calculation is in
progress. Marc Prefontaine, President and CEO of Grayd, stated, "During 2009 we
successfully expanded the North Zone to both the west and northwest at our La
India gold project in Mexico. We also outlined some areas with substantially
higher grades than the average grade for the zone in the current resource. With
all 2009 drill results now in hand, we will complete our new resource
calculation."


New drill result highlights in the North Zone that were not previously reported
include:




--  RC-09-538 50.3 m grading 1.62 g/t Au; including 10.7 m grading 3.81 g/t
    Au 
--  RC-09-541 33.5 m grading 2.09 g/t Au 
--  DDH-09-96 35.0 m grading 1.62 g/t Au 
--  DDH-09-99 47.0 m grading 1.05 g/t Au; including 5.8m grading 6.34 g/t Au
(i)Note that mineralization starts at or near surface in all four holes



A total of 6,000 metres were drilled in 59 reverse circulation (RC) and 37
diamond drill holes (DDH) during the period September through December 2009
within and immediately adjacent to the Main Zone and North Zone, which will be
included in the new resource calculation. The Main Zone drill results were
reported on January 19, 2010. During the period September through December 2009,
a total of 2,400 metres were drilled in the North Zone in 32 reverse circulation
(RC) and 8 diamond drill holes (DDH). The North Zone holes were drilled to
extend the zone to the west and northwest, and to better define higher grade
areas within the area of the current resource. Highlights for RC holes up to
RC-09-523 were reported in Grayd's news release dated December 15, 2009. Three
of the holes reported herein are step-outs from the high grades reported
previously and help to confirm the tenor of mineralization in the area.
DDH-09-96 was drilled 300 metres to the south of these holes.


The next phase of exploration is already underway, with two drills working to
define the La India Zone discovery that was reported in November 2009, as well
as to test two large targets that have never been drill-tested. The objective
for the first quarter of this year is to complete these holes and then drill
several other high-priority exploration targets in the 260-square-kilometre
project area.


A table describing the holes included in this release and a drill hole location
map are provided below. A complete list of all 2009 drilling is provided on

The La India gold project is located in the prolific Mulatos gold belt of
Mexico's Sonora state. The project has a NI43-101 compliant gold resource of
559,000 ounces grading 1.01 g/t in the indicated category and 318,000 ounces
grading 1.05 g/t in the inferred category, all at a 0.5 g/t cut-off grade. The
resource consists of 17.2 and 9.4 million tonnes of indicated and inferred
material, respectively. This same district hosts Alamos Gold Inc.'s Mulatos Mine
which produced 178,000 ounces of gold in 2009 and had a reported a resource of
4.75 million ounce of gold at the end of 2008.


Hans Smit, P.Geo., VP Exploration for Grayd, is the Qualified Person directing
the exploration at La India. Samples are sent to the ALS Chemex facility in
