About GoldStone Resources Limited

GoldStone Resources Limited (AIM: GRL) is an AIM quoted exploration company with projects in Ghana, Senegal and Gabon that range from grassroots to advanced exploration.

The Company is focused on developing the Homase-Akrokeri project in Southern Ghana, which hosts an existing 602,000 oz gold JORC compliant resource at an average grade of 1.77g/t, along strike from the Anglo Gold Ashanti Obuasi Gold Mine. Goldstone is focussed upon building a portfolio of high quality projects in Ghana, in the highly prospective Birimian-age Ashanti Gold Belt, one of the largest in the world - approximately 70 Moz gold produced to-date.

In Senegal, the Company holds the Sangola "Permis de Recherche", where a permit wide termite mound sampling programme has identified several robust gold anomalies at surface. In Gabon, the Company holds the Oyem and Ngoutou permits, which both contain robust gold in soil anomalies in excess of 15km length. Nine DD holes have been completed at Oyem and assay results yielded gold concentrations of up to 9.5g/t in a 120m wide deformational zone. At Ngoutou, three DD holes have indicated a wide gold mineralisation potentially covering 120m of strike. These licences are currently being reviewed by the Company.
