Gammon Gold Announces New El Cubo Collective Agreement and Return to Work

TORONTO, February 24, 2011 - Gammon Gold Inc. ("Gammon" or the "Company") (TSX: GAM) and (NYSE:GRS) is
pleased to announce today that the Company successfully resolved the labour
disruption at its 100% owned El Cubo mine, located in Guanajuato State,
Mexico.

The Company has secured a more productive, standardized Collective
Agreement that includes significant concessions and terms reflecting current
legislated norms and industry best practices. The new two year collective
agreement has been unanimously approved by the union.

As operations at the El Cubo mine have been suspended since June 2, 2010,
the Company will initially focus on evaluating the underground conditions and
mine facilities to develop an operations plan that will allow production to
recommence as soon as possible. Production operations will be phased-in as
management retrains employees and develops sufficient mining areas to allow
the proper sequencing of underground mining activity as the mine ramps up to
full scale production.

Concurrent with ramping up operational activities, Gammon will resume
exploration activities to follow-up on the Dolores-Capulin discoveries made
at El Cubo in 2009 and 2010 and advance efforts to convert the resource into
proven & probable reserve categories.

The El Cubo property is located in one of the most prolific gold and
silver mining districts in Mexico, with historic production of approximately
5 million ounces of gold and 1.2 billion ounces of silver over 400 years. In
2009, the mine produced 49,357 gold equivalent ounces(1) (27,842 gold ounces
and 1,183,339 silver ounces) at a cash cost of $582 per gold equivalent
ounce(1). As at December 31, 2009, El Cubo's proven & probable reserves were
596,000 gold equivalent ounces(2) with an additional 278,000 gold equivalent
ounces(2) in measured and indicated resources and 694,000 gold equivalent
ounces(2) in inferred resources.

Commenting on El Cubo, Rene Marion, President and CEO, stated: "We have
been steadfast in our view that to unlock the true value of El Cubo,
significant amendments to the Collective Agreement would be required. We now
look forward to rehiring our employees and operating and growing this asset
to the benefit of Gammon Gold stakeholders under a Collective Agreement that
supports enhanced operational and cost efficiencies that will benefit both
the Company and our workforce and their families."

Gammon will provide a definitive timeline on when production will
recommence once the Company has completed its infrastructure evaluation and
finalized the production start-up plan.

(1)Gold equivalent ounces: gold equivalent production is reported at
Gammon's long-term gold equivalency ratio of 55:1.

(2)2009 year-end reserves and resources were calculated at a gold
equivalency ratio of 58.89:1 and 60:1 respectively.
