GoldSpring Solicits Consent for Reverse Stock Split in Connection With its Strategic Plan

VIRGINIA CITY, Nev., March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GoldSpring, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GSPG) announced today that it will mail consent solicitation statements on or about March 29, 2010 to its stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 1, 2010.  The consent solicitation statements will be sent to stockholders of GoldSpring for the purpose of granting its Board of Directors the authority to effect a reverse stock split of the company's issued and outstanding common stock, if and when determined by the Board of Directors in a ratio of 1:200, without a corresponding reduction in the number of authorized shares of the GoldSpring's common stock. If effected, the number of shares of common stock held by each stockholder prior to the reverse stock split would be reduced by dividing the number of shares held immediately before the reverse stock split by 200, and then rounding up the nearest whole share. The consent of a majority of stockholders is required to approve such authority.  If approved, the reverse stock split could be effected by the Board of Directors on or prior to December 31, 2011.

The proposed reverse stock split was proposed in connection with the Company's efforts to effect an orderly restructuring of the Company's balance sheet and capital structure. The purpose of restructuring the balance sheet is to provide sufficient shares to meet the Company's outstanding obligations, such as reserving sufficient shares to cover conversion of its current convertible indebtedness as well as to reduce the number of outstanding shares to a level which it believes is more in line with a typical capital structure which would be more attractive to potential future investors. The Company also desires to have shares available to raise further capital needed to achieve its business plan and to possibly use as currency for future merger and acquisition activity.

"We feel the proposed reverse stock split is central to the Company's strategic plans to restructure the Company's balance sheet and position the Company for future growth," stated William J. Nance, Chairman of the Board of Directors.

About GoldSpring, Inc.

GoldSpring, Inc. is a North American precious metals mining company, focused in Nevada, with extensive, contiguous property in the Comstock Lode District.  In the Company's relatively short history, it secured permits, built an infrastructure and brought the Comstock Lode project into production. Since 2005, the Company has been acquiring additional properties around its Comstock Lode project in northern Nevada, expanding its footprint and creating opportunities for exploration and mining.  A drilling program through early 2009 has produced encouraging results, and led to increased engineering and permitting activities with the goal of returning the mine to production. The Company's objectives are to resume mine production, optimize metallurgical and mine processes, increase reserves through exploration and acquisitions, and continue to expand its footprint in the Comstock.
