Lima, Peru, June 5, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lima, Peru, June 5, 2013 -- The Graystone Company(OTCQB: GYST) announced today that the Company doubled its gold production in the month of May. The Company produced approximately 240-300 grams of gold in the month of May.
The Company also provided an update on its joint venture in Suriname. The Company's CEO returned from Suriname on May 31, 2013. The CEO spent approximately a month in Suriname reviewing the joint venture's operations.
During the testing in Suriname, the Company has determined that the joint venture may have located a gold vein in the area that it is operating. The Company has had a geologist on site for the past week to test the area and to assist in preparing geological reports on the find.
The presence of the gold vein indicates that the project will not facilitate the alluvial mining project the Company had expected but a larger hard rock project instead. As such, the Company expects to need to raise an additional $500,000 to $750,000 to purchase the necessary equipment for the hard project and prepare a 43-101.
The Company has prepared a Preferred Stock offering to raise the funds for the project and expects to file the registration statement with the SEC within the next 2 weeks.
