Greenock Resources: Funding for PTM Minerals' Kakanda Copper Project

   Greenock Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: GKR) ("Greenock") announces that its wholly owned subsidiary PTM MINERALS (CAYMAN) LTD. ("PTM") has received a loan in the principal amount of US$ 250,000 to enable PTM to continue its development of the Kakanda copper / cobalt project in the Democratic Republic of Congo ("DRC").. The funding is provided by way of a Promissory Note effective September 20, 2011 from an arm's length party at an interest rate of 15.00% per annum and repayable 120 days from the effective date of the Note. Greenock is providing a guarantee to support PTM's obligation to repay the Promissory Note.

The funds will be used to finance working capital requirements for Greenock's Kakanda project in the DRC. The Kakanda project is managed through Greenock's wholly owned subsidiary PTM.

Michael Newbury, President and CEO of Greenock comments: "The DRC is becoming more stable and transparent thus reducing the investment risk. There are a growing number of smaller companies that have recently started DRC exploration and development projects due to the improving investment climate. Kakanda is recognized as an advanced project that can be developed quickly once the final title issues, joint venture agreements and concessions payments are completed. We continue to have discussions with interested parties that will be able to provide the larger financing package and management expertise that is required to advance the Kakanda project to the next stage of development."
