LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Graystone Company (OTC Bulletin Board: GYST), announced today its acquisition of its initial concession in Peru.
The concession consists of approximately 988 acres (400 hectares) located in northeastern Peru near the town of Borja. The total travel time to the site from Lima, Peru is approximately 36 hours. The name of the concession is Gorilla. The Company has begun to build a placer mining operation on the property. Additionally, the Company engaged a geological team who has gathered the necessary information regarding the feasibility of the property.
Paul Howarth Graystone's CEO stated, "Acquiring a concession of this quality is an incredible beginning for Graystone and being located so close to a jungle village provides an excellent base for our operations and provides a skilled work force. The infrastructure we build on Gorilla can be used as our base to continue to expand our presence in Peru. The acquisition of Gorilla is the first step of ours to acquiring 10,000 acres by the end of 2012. We are currently finalizing the geological reports for Gorilla and expect to send out a press release regarding the reports shortly."
