DRILL RESULTS FROM THE HOMASE/AKROKERRI PROJECT, ASHANTI GOLD BELT, GHANA

GoldStone Resources Ltd ("GoldStone" or the "Company"), the West and Central Africa focused gold exploration company, is pleased to announce results for four new drill holes at the Homase/Akrokerri project in Ghana.

Highlights:

· Drill results extend the known part of the high-grade shoot under the northern part of the Homase pit from 140 metres to 215 metres below the base of the pit

· Gold intersections include 10.4 metres at 4.4 g/t and 4.3 metres at 4.9 g/t

· Mineralisation remains open at depth

Hendrik Schloemann, GoldStone's Exploration Director, commented: "We continue to be pleased with the progress of our drilling programme. As a consequence of these promising results, we intend to add at least one additional drill rig to the project from early next year."

Drilling Results

Drill hole 11HMRD015 (4.3 metres at 4.9 g/t) intersected the high-grade gold shoot under the northern part of the Homase pit, 175 metres below the base of the pit, while drill hole 11HMRD016 (10.4 metres at 4.4 g/t) intersected the same shoot 215 metres below the base of the pit. Mineralisation was also intersected at 190m below the base of the central part of the pit in drill holes 11HMRD012 and 11HMRD013, results of which are reported in the table below. All four boreholes intersected the mineralisation down-dip of GoldStone's 405,600 ounce JORC compliant gold resource at Homase/Akrokerri and underline the encouraging potential for an upgrade of this resource in the future. The mineralisation at Homase/Akrokerri remains open at depth and along strike.
