Goldstone Reports New Discovery at Hardrock Project, Provides Mid-Year Update
29 Juni 2011 - 11:20PM
Marketwired Canada
Goldstone Resources Inc. (TSX:GRC) (PINK SHEETS:GRSZF) today announced that
drilling at the Hardrock Project joint venture by Premier Gold Mines Limited
(TSX:PG) as operator has discovered a new zone at Tenacity South with confirmed
high-grade mineralization in hole HR054 up to 10.89 grams per tonne gold (g/t
Au) across 10.0 metres (m) (0.32 oz/t across 32.8 feet) including 45.40 g/t Au
across 2.0 m (1.33 oz/t across 6.6 feet), and hole HR053 intersections of 37.49
g/t Au across 2.1 m.
Earlier in 2011, Goldstone and Premier released a NI43-101 compliant gold
resource estimate for the Hardrock Project. Numerous zones remain wide open for
expansion and the western-most hole drilled to-date (MM170) intersected 18.49
g/t Au across 20.5m or 0.54 ounces per ton (oz/t) across 67.2 feet.
Ongoing 2011 drilling has realized numerous successes that are expected to add
materially to the current resource. Expansion of the SP and F Zones, more
recently identified horizons including the P and K Zones, and new discoveries
including the Tenacity South Zone auger well for the future economics of the
project. Other highlights from the 2011 drill program include:
-- Expansion drilling in the SP Zone with intercepts up to 11.25 g/t Au
across 8.2 m and 6.02 g/t Au across 15.0 m
-- Further expansion of the F-Zone deposit with intersections of up to
6.97g/t Au across 5.0 m
-- Continued success in the recently discovered K-Zone with new assays of
up to 10.16 g/t Au across 3.1 m
-- Several returning high-grade vein style mineralization within the main
porphyry unit (P Zone) with intercepts as high as 7.15 g/t Au across 6.0
m.
"We continue to very optimistic about the development potential of the Hardrock
Project, " said Goldstone Chairman and Interim CEO Philip Cunningham. "We also
believe our adjoining, 100-owned Key Lake property, for which we announced
latest drilling results this morning, will benefit from its proximity to
Hardrock."

Hardrock Deposit
The Hardrock Project is located approximately 4 kilometres south of the town of
Geraldton, Ontario and is host to several past-producing mines which
collectively produced more than 3 million ounces of gold from depths primarily
within 600 metres of surface between 1938 and 1968. Underground resources are
located proximal to and below the historic mine workings. New discoveries
including the High-Grade North Zone and the F2 East Zone will be the focus of
the planned underground drill program. The current Mineral Resource estimate
uses 11 identified mineralized domains to develop a combination potential open
pit and underground mineral resource. The Hardrock Project benefits from
development advantages with the Trans-Canada Highway, Trans-Canada Pipeline, and
major power lines running through, or in close proximity to, the Project site.
Significant services and a skilled labour pool exist with several communities
located within 30 kilometres. Goldstone holds a 30% carried interest in the
Hardrock Project

100%-owned NI 43-101 compliant resources in the Beardmore area. In April 2011,
Premier announced an updated NI 43-101resource estimate for the Hardrock Project
in the Geraldton area of which Goldstone has a 30% interest. The camp is host to
several mines which historically produced more than 4.1 million ounces of gold
from high grade ore-before being shut down primarily as a result of a $35 gold
price-and to Goldstone's fully permitted, expandable 200-TPD Northern Empire
mill.
