TORONTO, March 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Greater China Capital Inc. ("Greater China") (TSX-V: GCA.P), a capital pool company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement") dated March 15, 2012 with Northern Skye Resources Ltd. ("Northern Skye") a private corporation incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, Northern Skye and Greater China will enter into a definitive agreement ("Definitive Agreement") whereby Northern Skye will assign Greater China: (i) an option to earn up to an undivided 50% interest in mineral claims located in the province of Quebec, known as the Hebecourt Project, which are currently subject to an option agreement dated July 18, 2011 in favour of Northern Skye from the registered holder of the claims, Frank P. Tagliamonte (the "Tagliamonte Option"); and (ii) a 50% working interest in mineral claims held by Northern Skye that are contiguous to the Tagliamonte Option (the "Staked Claims"), subject only to a net smelter return royalty of 2.5% in favour of Northern Skye (collectively the Staked Claims and the Tagliamonte Option, the "Property"). The Definitive Agreement will also include a term sheet for a joint venture agreement that is expected to be entered into by Greater China and Northern Skye after completion of the QT.

Greater China is a "capital pool company" under the rules and policies of the Exchange. The transaction

contemplated by the Letter Agreement will represent Greater China's qualifying transaction (the "QT") and is subject to the acceptance of the Exchange. The QT is not a related party transaction under the rules and policies of the Exchange and the QT does not constitute a non-arm's length QT. Approval of the QT by the shareholders of Greater China will not be required by the Exchange. Upon completion of the QT, Greater China is expected to become a Tier 2 mining issuer on the Exchange. Greater China will apply to the Exchange for a waiver of the requirement to engage a sponsor with respect to the QT. There is no assurance that a waiver will be granted.

Pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement, to earn a 50% in the Property, Greater China must:

- pay to Frank P. Tagliamonte the aggregate sum of $300,000 in cash over a period of four years;

- incur cumulative expenditures of not less than $2,500,000 on or in respect of the Tagliamonte Option over a period of five years (approximately $200,000 of which has already been spent by Northern Skye and will be reimbursed by Greater China); and

- issue to Frank P. Tagliamonte the aggregate of 185,000 common shares of Greater China over a four year period.

Upon completion of the QT, Greater China will have 9,145,235 common shares issued and outstanding. Assuming that Greater China acquires a 50% interest in the Property, Frank P. Tagliamonte, after four years, will hold an aggregate of 185,000 common shares of Greater China representing approximately 2.0% of Greater China's issued and outstanding shares on a nondiluted basis.

The Property

The Property is located in northern Québec, 35 km northwest of Rouyn-Noranda, along the Ontario -Québec border and extends 11 km due east of the Ontario-Québec boundary. It consists of 91 claims covering an area of 3685.81 ha.

Nine of the claims are subject to the Tagliamonte Option. According to an assignment and assumption agreement in respect of the Tagliamonte Option, Northern Skye has the option to earn a 90% legal and beneficial undivided interest in several properties, including the Tagliamonte claims, subject to the terms and conditions of the Tagliamonte Option, including certain net smelter return royalties. The remainder of the claims, or the Staked Claims, that comprise the Property were staked exclusively by Northern Skye.

The Hebecourt Township area is generally agreed to mark the northern limits of the "Noranda Complex", a well studied chemo-stratigraphically defined caldera-like structure. It is at the center of such a structure, which hosts the famous Noranda base metal mining camp. The Noranda Complex is bounded to the north by the Porcupine-Destor Break and to the south by the Larder Lake-Cadillac Break, recognised as two major structural discontinuities of regional extent.

The Property has the potential to host two major types and a subtype of mineralization: volcanogenic massive sulphide, shear zone related lode gold mineralization; and gold-rich volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralization, which is considered a subtype of VMS and lode gold deposits.

There is one known gold occurrence on the Property, the Hebecourt-SO, which is hosted in a quartz vein, located in the centre of a shear zone in diorite rocks that intruded andesite rocks. Disseminated chalcopyrite, pyrite, pyrrhotite and galena also occur in the quartz vein. A grab sample returned 13.7 g/t Au.

Exploration on the Property started in 1948 when the Québec Department of Mines completed geological mapping in the area. No significant exploration took place until the 1970's, after which the Property has been explored more or less continuously until now.
