Glamis Gold Ltd. (TSX:GLG)(NYSE:GLG) announced today that with the El Sauzal mine underway in Mexico, the Marlin project in Guatemala approaching production and exploration and feasibility projects moving forward, Glamis has reorganized to meet the management needs of a significantly larger gold
producer. A new executive position has been established, a variety of promotions have taken place and two retirements are scheduled.

New Executive Position
Glamis is pleased to announce that Joseph L. Danni has joined the Company as Vice President, Corporate Communications. Mr. Danni brings a wealth of experience to Glamis following various positions with Placer Dome and Homestake Mining Company over a successful 25 year career, most recently as Senior Vice President, Corporate Relations of Placer Dome Inc. in Vancouver, Canada. Mr. Danni will take overall responsibility for the Company's investor relations, public and governmental affairs.

Company Promotions

Charles A. Jeannes has been promoted to Executive Vice President, Administration. Since joining Glamis in 1999, Mr. Jeannes has managed the administrative and business affairs of the Company. He also heads up Glamis' business development team and is the architect of the Francisco Gold merger, providing the basis for the best growth story in the industry with the El Sauzal and Marlin projects.

James S. Voorhees has been promoted to Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. It is under Mr. Voorhees' leadership that the Marigold mine expansion, San Martin mine development, El Sauzal mine start-up and the ongoing Marlin construction projects have been successfully executed. Despite this period of rapid growth, he has provided the leadership necessary to maintain the culture of excellence at ongoing operations.

Cheryl S. Maher is the Company's Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer, and will now report directly to the President and CEO. Ms. Maher has been with Glamis since 1999 and has skillfully managed the Company's growing finance and accounting group, including providing the financing for Glamis' growth programs now underway.

Timothy Q. Haldane has been elected Vice President, Development. Mr. Haldane was primarily responsible for the completion of El Sauzal feasibility, permitting and construction - all completed ahead of the original schedule. El Sauzal is currently the Company's largest and lowest cost gold mine.

Charles J. Ronkos has been elected Vice President, Exploration. Mr. Ronkos has been involved with Glamis exploration projects throughout Nevada and Latin America since 1999. Through his direct leadership as Exploration Manager, the Company has demonstrated significant growth in gold reserves
over the last five years.

Eduardo Villacorta has been promoted to Executive Director, Central America. Mr. Villacorta has been with the Company for nearly five years and was instrumental in the success of the San Martin mine in Honduras as General Manager. Mr. Villacorta will manage the Company's governmental affairs in
Central America.

Retirements

After over fifteen years with Glamis, Steven L. Baumann, Vice President, Central America, has decided to retire effective July 1. Mr. Baumann is responsible for many of Glamis' successes, including expansion of the Rand mine, management of the Picacho mine, the vision setting the stage for growth at the Marigold mine in Nevada and leadership in the development of San Martin in Honduras and Marlin in Guatemala. Mr. Baumann will be moving home to Wyoming with his family.

Michael A. Steeves, Vice President, Investor Relations will be retiring effective July 31, following a thirty year career in the mining industry. Mr. Steeves has considerably enhanced the Company's investor relations
function, helping Glamis to achieve its status as a premier intermediate gold producer.

Glamis President and CEO Kevin McArthur said, "This management team is executing what amounts to a tripling of gold production between 2004 and 2007. I am extremely pleased with the Board's actions to promote the careers of some extremely talented and deserving individuals. We extend many thanks
to both Steve Baumann and Mike Steeves for their years of service and loyalty to the Company. And, of course, we very much look forward to Mr. Danni's participation in the next phase of the Company's development. This really is a new Company. We have witnessed with great pride our employees'
past accomplishments, and we eagerly anticipate the challenges and successes to come."

Glamis Gold Ltd. is a premier intermediate gold producer with low-cost gold mines and development projects in Nevada, Mexico and Central America. Plans call for growth from 400,000 ounces of gold production in 2005 to over 700,000 ounces in 2007. The Company remains 100 percent unhedged. More
