Great Panther Silver Set to Join the Russell Global Index



GREAT PANTHER SILVER LIMITED (TSX:GPR)(NYSE Amex:GPL)
(the "Company") is set to join the Russell Global Index
when Russell Investments reconstitutes its comprehensive set
of global equity indexes on June 24, according to a
preliminary list of additions posted June 10 on http://www.russell.com/indexes.

Membership in the Russell Global Index, which remains in place
for one year, means automatic inclusion in the appropriate
large-cap, small-cap, all-cap indexes as well as the applicable
style, sector and country indexes. Russell determines membership
for its equity indexes primarily by objective, market-
capitalization rankings and style attributes.

"We are pleased to join the Russell Global Index following
our recent addition to the Market Vectors™ Junior Gold Miners
Index (MV GDXJ)," said Robert Archer, Great Panther''s President & CEO.
"Membership in these indexes is a testament to the continued
growth of Great Panther Silver, both at our mines and in the
markets, and will help raise our profile
with institutional investors."

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and
institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks
for both passive and active investment strategies.
An industry-leading US$3.9 trillion in institutional assets
currently are benchmarked to them.

The Russell Global Index, which captures 98% of investable
securities globally, is reconstituted annually and all
sub-indexes are recalibrated simultaneously to accurately
measure current market realities for each market segment.
These investment tools originated from Russell''s multi-manager
investment business in the early 1980s when the company saw
the need for a more objective, market-driven set of benchmarks
in order to evaluate outside investment managers.

Russell launched the Russell Global Index in 2007, leveraging
the popular methodology from its U.S. indexes.
The broad-market Russell 3000® Index serves as the U.S.
component to the Russell Global Index.
