Increase in cash cost per silver ounce, net of by-products,

from new smelter contracts at our Topia mine.
Site costs were also higher at Topia because of higher
tonnes mined and milled at a lower grade.

resource development at the Topia mine.

de C.V., Great Panther's Mexican subsidiary, was awarded
its first distinction as a "Socially Responsible Company"
for the year 2010 by CEMEFI, Centro Mexicano para la
Filantropía (Mexican Centre for Philanthropy).

This annual award is a milestone for us and has been awarded
for our commitment to sustainable environmental,
social and economic development.

2011 OUTLOOK

As we approach the mid-point of the three-year growth strategy
(2010 – 2012), production from both operations is growing
and plant capacity is being increased to accommodate future
growth, mineral resources are being updated and increased,
exploration drilling is being increased and the permitting
process has been initiated for the San Ignacio Property,
near Guanaj ato.

The anticipated development of the new San Ignacio Property
combined with the improved mineral resources at Guanajuato
and Topia support ongoing growth and increased throughput.

Operating efficiencies will allow for further increases such
that production upside will remain at both mines.

The 2012 mine plans will be confirmed once the drill results
for the current programs have been interpreted,
and mineral resources are updated.

"Following the strong financial performance Great Panther
delivered in fiscal 2010, we are off to a stronger start
this year, again setting several new records,"
said Robert Archer, President & CEO.

This news release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and forward-looking information ----
at www.sec.gov and Material Change Reports filed with the Canadian Securities Administrators and available at www.sedar.com.

(1) Silver equivalent ounces in 2011 were established using prices of US$1,200 per oz of gold, US$20 per oz of silver, US$0.90 per lb of lead, and US$0.90 per lb of zinc.

(2) "Cash cost per ounce" is a non-IFRS measure and is used by the Company to manage and evaluate operating performance at each of the Company's mines and is widely reported in the silver mining industry as a benchmark for performance, but does not have a standardized meaning.

Refer to the "Non-IFRS Measures" section for a reconciliation of standardized and adjusted EBITDA to the financial statements.

The Company's financial statements are now reported under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and the 2010 comparative results have been restated to IFRS in the current period financial statements.
