GYST Rally Continues

The Graystone Company Provides Corporate Update LIMA, Peru, Aug 14, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Graystone Company (OTCQB: GYST), provided today a Corporate Update. The Company has received a number of questions regarding the short and long term expectations of Graystone. As such, the Company's management has decided to issue this press release to answer some of the questions. The Company acquired its initial mining property, Gorila, in May 2011 from a private party and conducted its initial bulk sampling tests on the property in June 2011. Since then the Company has recently completed the construction of a mining camp on the property to provide housing and other facilities for up to 20 workers. The Company has also been conducting geological sampling and testing as well. The Company has also contracted and been approved with the refinery in the United States that will process its raw gold from Peru. The Company expects to export its raw gold from Peru to the United States to be refined and sold. The raw gold will be transported by employees of the Company. The Company shall receive between 97%-98.5% of the spot price of gold depending on the amount of gold the Company refines. The management of the Company anticipates that the revenue growth will be similar in nature to that of Santa Fe Gold Corp. For example, Santa Fe Gold's revenue per year is as follows: 2008: $0 2009: $72,624 2010: $320,145 2011: $6,440,897 and 2012: $8,144,512 for the 9 months in 2012. The Company acquired its initial mining property only 15 months ago and is expecting significant progress towards production in the 4th quarter of 2012. The Company is expecting to announce news regarding its mining operations within the next 2 weeks. "We are excited that we have been able to contract with a refinery in the United States to process and sell our raw gold," says Paul Howarth, CEO of The Graystone Company. "We feel this provides the Company with a strong foundation to build upon. We expect that we will make significant progress on Gorila by the end of the year." About The Graystone Company.
