GKR Greenock Resources

Greenock Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: GKR) ("Greenock") announces that it has been continuing positive discussion between its wholly owned subsidiary PTM Minerals (Cayman) ("PTM") with its joint venture partner Gecamines and the Ministry of Mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo ("DRC") to develop the Kakanda tailings and hardrock concessions.

The recent discussions have focused on defining the framework of an agreement for the development of the entire Kakanda project. PTM previously included both the hardrock and tailings resources in the feasibility study that was delivered to Gecamines on October 27, 1998 in compliance with its original exploration permit. The recent land ownership reforms and realignment of mining concessions was completed earlier this decade with the DRC mining reform legislation. This legislation was designed to sort out competing land claims and provide transparency to the issuance of mining licenses.

PTM's Kakanda development agreement was signed with Gecamines and ratified by the Government in January 2009. The economic values set out in the Kakanda feasibility study were to include both tailings and hardrock resources. If necessary Gecamines has agreed to assist in securing additional copper/cobalt resources that may be included in a production evaluation to enable the Kakanda project to proceed in accordance with economic values set out in the original feasibility.
