* Press Release * Source: Great Panther Resources Limited * On 12:27 pm EST, Thursday December 3, 2009 * Companies: o Great Panther Res Com Npv VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - 12/03/09) -
GREAT PANTHER RESOURCES LIMITED - (TSX:GPR - News) (the "Company") is pleased to advise that it is seeking shareholder approval at its Extraordinary General Meeting on December 17, 2009, to change its name from Great Panther Resources Limited to Great Panther Silver Limited, without any change to its capital structure.
As one of the most rapidly growing primary silver producers in Mexico, with two 100% owned profitable mines, and having established four years of successive silver production records, management believes that the Company's name should more clearly reflect its core activity.
"Great Panther generates more than 70% of its revenue from silver sales and the Company is committed to increasing its silver production and resources, as we continue to reduce production costs," said Bob Archer, President & CEO. "As such, the new name should have a positive impact on investor and market recognition, and will make it easier for shareholders and prospective investors worldwide to access the Company through on-line generic searches," he said.
In addition to shareholder approval, the change of name is subject to regulatory filings. It is anticipated that upon the name change becoming effective, the common shares of the Company will continue to trade under the symbol GPR.
In addition, the Company has granted 855,000 incentive stock options to consultants, staff and a director at an exercise price of $0.90 and expiring on December 2, 2014.
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD
Kaare G. Foy, Executive Chairman
