Garrison International Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:GAU) (the "Company" or "Garrison") is
pleased to announce that it has closed the first tranche of a
previously-disclosed sale of shares to Asia Goldworks Limited ("AGL") for gross
proceeds of $700,000. This closing, initially scheduled for March 25, 2008,
closed today. This closing occurred pursuant to a previously announced share
purchase agreement between Garrison and AGL which provides that AGL will invest
an aggregate of $5,000,000 (including the $700,000 at this first closing) in the
Company by acquiring up to 50,000,000 common shares units ("Units") of Garrison.
Each closing in this offering remains subject to TSX Venture Exchange (the
"Exchange") approval.


AGL is an affiliate of Mr. Tony Bainbridge, a director and officer of Garrison.

Garrison is conducting this unbrokered financing (the "Financing") in three
tranches. The first closing was completed today for 7,000,000 Units for gross
proceeds of $700,000, subject to Exchange approval. The second and third
tranches will be subject to the additional requirement of approval by Garrison's
shareholders. $2,300,000 will be raised through the offer and sale of 23,000,000
additional Units at the second closing. $2,000,000 will be raised through the
offer and sale of up to 20,000,000 Units at the third closing.


Each Unit consists of one common share of Garrison and one common share purchase
warrant that entitles the holder to purchase one common share of Garrison. The
purchase warrants are exercisable for a period of 18 months from the date of
issue. The Unit price for the first and second tranche closings will be $0.10,
and the exercise price of the purchase warrants included in the Units then sold
will be $0.12 per common share.


AGL has executed an undertaking to the Exchange that it will not exercise its
purchase warrants and it will not purchase additional common shares of the
Company until the shareholders of Garrison approve the creation of the new
Control Persons (as defined in Exchange policies) that would arise as part of
this Financing, and Garrison obtains Final Acceptance of the Financing by the
Exchange.


The second tranche closing will occur on or before the third business day
following a special meeting of shareholders to approve the second and third
tranches of the Financing. However, Garrison and AGL may close the second
tranche of the Financing prior to that shareholder meeting being held, on
condition that the Units and proceeds would be held in escrow until the
shareholder meeting is held and shareholder approval is obtained.


Mr. Georges Haligua-Cohen, formerly a director of Garrison, or an affiliate of
his previously advanced $583,900 to Garrison. Under the terms of the share
purchase agreement, 40% of the principal amount of that sum will be repaid.
Beginning today, the unpaid balance of this loan will accrue interest at 9.9%
per annum, to be repaid with the principal at the second closing.


Proceeds from this closing will also be used to reduce the Company's current
liabilities to enhance its working capital and otherwise fund the Company's
operations.


All securities issued in connection with this first closing will be subject to a
hold period until July 28th, 2008.
