Greystar Resources Files EIA; Begins Colombian Permitting Process
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Feb. 10, 2010) - Greystar Resources Ltd. (TSX:GSL)(AIM:GSL)
(the "Company") is pleased to announce that on Dec. 22, 2009, the Company filed an Environmental
Impact Assessment (EIA) with the Ministry of the Environment, Housing and Territorial Development
(MAVDT) to initiate the environmental permitting process for the development of an open pit gold and
silver mine at the Angostura project in Colombia. Subsequently on Jan. 13, 2010, the EIA (1,814 pages)
was accepted for review by the MAVDT. The EIA, which is based on the GRD MinProc Preliminary
Feasibility Study (March 2009), covers all environmental and social aspects of the proposed mine
development including baseline data and end of mine life mitigation plans.
The environmental permitting process for Angostura involves a review process to which the MAVDT names
a review team, and requests input from the regional environment authority. The permitting process
should take approximately six months, however it is customary that the environmental authorities
require additional data and changes to the EIA prior to issuing an environmental license. Therefore,
the permitting process may take nine to twelve months.
Greystar has also submitted an application for a Work and Investment Plan (PTO) based on the GRD
MinProc Preliminary Feasibility Study. The PTO was submitted to the Ingeominas, a division in the
Ministry of Mines and Energy, on Oct. 23, 2009. The PTO is the operating plan for Angostura which must
be approved by Ingeominas in a parallel process to the environmental permitting. Both the EIA and the
PTO must be approved for the issuance of a mining license.
