GYD Grayd Resource Corporation

Grayd Resource Corporation (TSX VENTURE:GYD) announces results from the 2008
surface exploration program on its wholly-owned La India Gold Project located in
the State of Sonora, Mexico.


Highlights include identification of gold potential in two new zones:

1. an area 400 m south of the Cieneguita resource where results from recent rock
sampling include a sample with 9.85 g/t Au; and


2. in the Pilar area of the property, approximately 6 km to the west of the
known resource areas, where a 10.65 g/t Au sample was collected.


Results have been returned for 76 samples collected over a 270 by 50 m area
south of Cieneguita. Thirty of these samples assayed greater than 0.3 g/t Au,
including 9 with greater than 1 g/t. This area displays the same geological
setting as Cieneguita, and is interpreted to be a faulted block from a
continuous zone of alteration and mineralization.


Additional surface sampling is in progress across a 600 by 300 m area of
prospective hydrothermal alteration in which the current samples are hosted.
Targets in this area supported by the identified gold anomalies and detailed
geology will be drilled in June.


A property-scale evaluation was recently completed on the Pilar claim, which
encompasses the west half of the La India property. The aim of the program was
to identify large-scale systems of hydrothermal alteration for follow-up
detailed mapping and sampling. A total of 36 samples were collected as part of
this initial reconnaissance work. Six samples collected in the vicinity of a
large zone of silica alteration in the north-central sector of El Pilar assayed
greater than 0.3 g/t Au. The best result was from a chip sample which returned
10.65 g/t Au across 1 m true width in a small working at the base of the silica
alteration. This geologic setting is similar to the Cieneguita resource zone and
other zones in the Mulatos area, where gold occurs at the base of
regional-scale, stratiform silicified horizons at the intersections with
discordant structurally-controlled zones of silicification and advanced argillic
alteration.


Most of the strongly anomalous samples collected on the Pilar claim came from
structurally-controlled zones of silicification with veins of silica-pyrite (+/-
galena, sphalerite) and associated pyritic advanced argillic alteration. The
recent work indicates that the silica-altered horizon in north-central El Pilar
is the prime area of interest and a program of more detailed sampling and
mapping will be initiated in June 2008. A number of other areas with widespread
silica-alteration were identified elsewhere on the property and will also be
explored further.


Further work, including drilling, is also planned for the previously identified
Tubos Zone, located 2.2 km east of the main resource area at La India. At Tubos,
advanced argillic alteration has been identified over a 950 m by 300 m area. Of
42 surface samples collected, 10 assayed greater than 0.3 g/t Au, with a high of
1.5 g/t Au.


A map showing locations of the zones is attached and additional maps are posted
on Grayd's website (www.grayd.com).


Hans Smit, P.Geo., VP Exploration for Grayd, is the Qualified Person directing
the exploration at La India. Charles Greig, P.Geo., completed the recent work in
the Pilar portion of the property. Samples are sent to the ALS Chemex facility
in Hermosillo for sample preparation, and then to the ALS Chemex laboratory in
Vancouver for gold assay and ICP. QA/QC procedures used include assay standards
and blanks.


Grayd Resource is a growth-oriented junior natural resource company focused
primarily on exploring and developing a large land position in Mexico which is
highly prospective for gold and silver mineralization. The Company's Officers
and Directors are experienced in all aspects of mineral exploration, development
and production and have been involved with several successful mining projects
during the past 20 years.
