The Graystone Company Provides Corporate Update
Graystone Co. (OTCBB:GYST)

The Company has begun negotiations with one of the larger environmental impact study firms in Peru. The Company hopes to engage the firm soon since it is expected to take at least 4-6 months to complete the environmental impact study. The Company needs to complete the study prior to converting the claim into a concession. Once the claim is converted into a concession, Graystone is able to begin full production on Gorilla and will not be limited to only bulk sampling. During this time, we are able to mine in a limited production manner (or bulk sampling), which allows our crew to map the property and to generate gold production on a limited basis. The limited gold production would be similar to the Company's previous limited gold production that occurred in May through July 2011.

"We are excited that during the process of getting our environmental impact study completed, we can increase our gold sales and production through additional bulk sampling on Gorilla," says Paul Howarth, CEO of The Graystone Company.

The Company is pleased to also announce that its Facebook and Twitter pages have grown beyond the expectations of the Company. The Company's Facebook page has over 1,000 followers while its Twitter page has approximately 10,000 followers. The Company created these pages to provide a place for shareholders to interact with the Company and for the Company to provide and discuss information about its operations.

"Facebook and Twitter provide us with the ability to more efficiently communicate with our shareholders about our operations and for the shareholders to communicate with the Company," says Paul Howarth. "We hope all of our shareholders will take advantage of our social media to ask us questions, read our press releases, and learn about how the operations in Peru are going."
