Garrison International Ltd. Announces Creation of New Control Persons, Resignation of Directors and Election of New Directors

Garrison International Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:GAU) (the "Company" or "Garrison") is
pleased to announce that it has obtained disinterested shareholder approval of
various matters related to a previously-disclosed financing (through the
approval of in excess of 99% of the votes cast at the meeting by disinterested
shareholders). At the special meeting of shareholders held yesterday, Garrison's
shareholders approved the financing, the exercise of 7,000,000 warrants issued
to Asia Goldworks Limited ("AGL") in the first closing (in the event that AGL
chooses to exercise them), the repayment of an advance made by Mr. Haligua-Cohen
to the Company of US$583,900, and the creation of new Control Persons, namely,
AGL, Danny Sun (a principal shareholder of AGL and a newly-elected director of
Garrison), and Tony Bainbridge (a director of Garrison and a principal
shareholder of AGL).


The terms of the financing were announced in a press release dated March 18,
2008, such that AGL will invest an aggregate of $5,000,000 in Garrison by
acquiring up to 50,000,000 common shares units ("Units") of the Company. Each
Unit consists of one common share and one purchase warrant exercisable for one
common share of Garrison for 18 months from the date of issue.


The first closing of the financing was completed on March 27, 2008 for 7,000,000
Units and gross proceeds of $700,000. Garrison anticipates that the remaining
investment of $4,300,000 to be made by AGL for Units of Garrison will be
completed in one or more closings that will commence later this week. The
financing remains subject to final approval by the TSX Venture Exchange (the
"Exchange").
