Great Panther Resources Limited TSX: GPR

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 25, 2008) - GREAT PANTHER RESOURCES LIMITED (TSX:GPR) is pleased to announce that continued deep diamond drilling at the Company's wholly-owned Guanajuato Mine in Guanajuato, Mexico is extending the silver-gold mineralization along strike to the southeast. Drill-holes EUG07-008 to 012 were all collared 50 metres southeast of holes EUG07-001 to 007 on the 345 level cross cut to test the down dip and strike continuity of the Cata Clavo. All drill holes intersected significant mineralization in multiple zones with some demonstrating excellent widths and others, excellent grades.

Hole EUG07-008 intersected 1.7 metres grading 395g/t silver and 2.13g/t gold in the HW1 zone but had to be abandoned prematurely due to technical reasons. Significant widths of mineralization were intersected in the Veta Madre zone in holes EUG07-009 and EUG07-010, while in EUG08-011 the Veta Madre consisted of several mineralized splays. EUG07-009 intersected 7.36 metres grading 135g/t silver and 0.47g/t gold, while EUG07-010 intersected 10.82 metres grading 174g/t silver and 0.75g/t gold (including 3.52 metres grading 362g/t silver and 1.58g/t gold) in the Veta Madre zone. Holes EUG07-008 to 010 were drilled to intersect the mineralized zones just below the existing workings on the 430 metre level in order to guide mine development in this area. EUG08-011, drilled below the previous three, intersected 0.33 metres grading 4,280g/t silver and 13.1g/t gold and 1.03 metres grading 176g/t silver and 6.01g/t gold in Veta Madre 1 and 2, respectively.

The HW1 zone was further tested to a vertical depth of 500 metres, in EUG08-012, with three intersections, the best of which returned 1.42 metres grading 1,482g/t silver and 5.14g/t gold. This interval matches well with the high grade intersection located 50 metres to the northwest and down dip in previously reported (Feb. 26, 2008) EUG07-002 which intersected 1.0 metre grading 5,773g/t silver and 15.45g/t gold in the HW1 zone. Highlights are detailed in the table below and maps and sections can be viewed on the Company's website at www.greatpanther.com.

Holes EUG08-013 to 016 were also drilled from this second station and assays are being compiled. Drilling is now continuing from the third of six underground stations, located another 50 metres to the southeast of the second site. To date, every hole in the deep drilling at Cata has intersected good mineralization and the program is confirming wide spaced historic drill data that indicated the extension of silver-gold mineralization in this area for at least 150 metres below the existing workings and over a strike length of approximately 300 metres. Seven sub-parallel zones of economic note have now been identified within a system of intense silicification, brecciation, and quartz vein flooding up to 60 metres in thickness.

Samples were assayed by SGS at the Company's Guanajuato Mine site laboratory and diamond drilling was contracted to Canrock Drilling, of San Luis de Potosi. Robert F. Brown, P. Eng and Vice President of Exploration for the Company, is the Qualified Person for the Guanajuato Mine Project, under the meaning of NI43-101, and has reviewed these results. The Company's QA/QC program includes the regular insertion of blanks and standards into the sample shipments, plus ISO certified laboratory checks.

Great Panther owns a 100% interest in the Guanajuato Mine Complex. Historically, the Guanajuato Mine was one of the largest silver producers in Mexico and encompasses the core of the Guanajuato District, which has produced 1.2 billion ounces of silver and 4.5 million ounces gold.
