RNS From first thing this morning: 2 May 2019 GOLDSTONE RESOURCES LIMITED Operational Update on Homase Open Pit Gold Mine GoldStone Resources Limited (AIM: GRL) is pleased to provide an update on its key work streams along the Homase Trend, which includes results exceeding expectations from its pilot heap leach test work and encouraging results from its recent trenching programme, as the Company seeks to move rapidly towards achieving low cost production. The Homase Trend, an >8km gold-in-soil anomaly within its Akrokeri-Homase Gold Project (“AKHM†or the “Projectâ€), is located on the northern end of the Ashanti Gold Belt in Ghana, 12km along strike from Anglo Gold Ashanti’s >70 million ounce Obuasi Gold Mine, and which also contains the high-grade 24g/t Au (recovered grade) Akrokeri Mine. Highlights · Pilot heap leach test work indicated recoveries in excess of 87.5% after just 60 days due to coarse gold content, exceeding initial expectations and endorsing plans for an initial gravity and combined heap leach facility to minimise capex · Trenching over 900 metres at the proposed Homase North Pit completed, with six out of eight trenches encountering above cut-off mineralisation and the highest individual assay at 3.87 g/t Au (1 metre cut) · Trenching at the parallel structures of Adubriem and Krodua over 800 metres has been completed and the assay results are expected within the next few weeks · Potential new Homase Central Pit investigation started in the area immediately to the north of the existing Homase Pit, a shallow open oxide pit that was mined by AngloGold Ashanti in 2002/3 and produced 52,000 oz at 2.85g/t Au · Definitive Economic Plan (“DEPâ€) progressing well and is expected to be submitted for final government approval in May 2019 · Initial work indicates Gravity Recoverable Gold (“GRGâ€) circuit can be utilised which has low capital outlay and can facilitate early revenue · The baseline study for the Environmental Impact Assessment and Management Plan is nearing completion "Operations are progressing in line with our commitment to move rapidly towards establishing our first operating gold mine within the Homase Trend. The initial results from the bulk heap leach test work are extremely encouraging and are an endorsement of our plans to achieve early stage cash flow with minimal capital expenditure via a low tonnage, gravity and combined heap leach facility. "With the DEP nearing completion, this will also allow us to complete and submit the environmental study, and we look forward to providing further updates as work at AKHM progresses. “We will provide an operational update on the Akrokeri Mine in the coming weeks.†More via link below: [link]

RNS 14 February 2019 GOLDSTONE RESOURCES LIMITED Commencement of Definitive Economic Plan and Environmental Impact Assessment & Development Update from Akrokeri-Homase Gold Project GoldStone Resources Limited (AIM: GRL) is pleased to provide an update on its key work streams at its Akrokeri-Homase Gold Project (“AKHMâ€), as the Company seeks to move rapidly towards establishing its first operating mine within the Homase Trend. The Homase Trend is an >8km gold-in-soil anomaly within AKHM, located on the northern end of the Ashanti Gold Belt in Ghana, 12km along strike from Anglo Gold Ashanti’s >70 million ounce Obuasi Gold Mine. Highlights • Definitive Economic Plan (“DEPâ€) to assess capital requirements, operating costs and timelines in respect of developing an operational mine on the Homase Trend now commencing and expected to be completed in Q2 2019 - this is a key milestone in the Company’s strategy towards becoming a gold producer • MAED (UK) Limited (“MAEDâ€) has been engaged to undertake the DEP (the “MAED Agreementâ€), with the support of the wider MAED Group • Work on the DEP will focus on the completion of a fast track, low cost plan to submit for final government approval in May 2019 • Following initial consultation, MAED is of the opinion that a low tonnage, gravity and combined heap leach facility can achieve early stage cash flow with minimal capital expenditure • Optimal Development Consult (“OPDECâ€) has been engaged to complete the Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIAâ€), a pre-requisite to applying for a mining licence and will also manage community and social relations work • Homase Trend scoping study progressing well Results of completed pilot heap leach project and results from the first stage of trenching at the Homase North and Adubriem deposits expected shortly Additional trenching, targeting the mineralised zone along the Homase Trend to the north of the existing Homase open pit, is underway, the results of which are expected in Q2 2019 Further Information Both the DEP and EIA are major project milestones as the Company seeks to achieve production and builds on the Company’s recent preliminary findings from the pilot heap leach project processing material from the Homase South Pits, which were announced on 21 December 2018. A further update regarding recoveries from a 65-day leach cycle are expected shortly. The Company also anticipates the receipt of laboratory analysis from the first stage of trenching at the Homase North and Adubriem deposits in the coming weeks. Additional trenching, targeting the mineralised zone north of the existing Homase open pit, is underway and results from this programme are expected in Q2 2019. Definitive Economic Plan The Company is pleased to announce that it has engaged MAED to undertake the DEP. MAED, which is wholly owned by Bill Trew, the Company’s Non-executive Chairman, will be supported by the wider MAED Group in the development of the DEP. MAED Group has significant experience in the mining sector, having completed EPCM and turnkey projects for many of the world’s leading gold mining companies. The team has designed and constructed a number of highly successful heap leach projects that have been in production for more than a decade in West Africa and Asia. Following an initial consultation, MAED has indicated that it believes that a low tonnage, gravity and combined heap leach facility can achieve early stage cash flow with minimal capital expenditure. This assessment is based on MAED’s initial geological and metallurgical review of the Homase Trend, coupled with the conclusion from the preliminary findings from the pilot heap leach project which, using 2.5 tonnes of material from Homase South within the Homase Trend, The University of Mines and Technology (UMaT) in Tarkwa, Ghana, estimates could achieve recoveries of up to 80% gold extraction over a 65 day cycle. Environmental Impact Assessment The Company is pleased to announce that it has appointed OPDEC to undertake the EIA. The EIA is an important workstream that is required to enable the Company to apply for a mining licence. OPDEC has significant experience of providing such assessments for clients in Ghana and across Africa in this regard. OPDEC will also oversee the environmental, community and social relations work which has continued to progress the advanced stage of environmental permitting Related party transaction MAED is wholly owned by the Company’s Non-Executive Chairman Bill Trew and, accordingly, MAED is deemed to be a related party of the Company as defined in the AIM Rules for Companies (“AIM Rulesâ€). The MAED Agreement is therefore a related party transaction pursuant to Rule 13 of the AIM Rules. The directors of the Company, other than Bill Trew, consider, having consulted with the Company’s nominated adviser, Strand Hanson Limited, that the terms of the MAED Agreement are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company’s shareholders are concerned.

Re: FITB style rise coming The results from the first two holes provide significant encouragement to undertake additional drilling along the north-east extension of the mineralised zone beyond the existing open pit with a view to adding to the existing resource base. A systematic evaluation of the third hole is necessary to determine the potential for adding to the resource beyond the south-western limit of the open pit but the presence of the higher-grade footwall intersection is very encouraging and not unexpected in the wide and complex structural corridor that hosts the mineralisation.Been trying to work out that korg.Possibly 100,000 ozLet`s assume 10% net profit ie £7 million MCAP Could be good weeks ahead .....Good luckAnd May

0.36p approx. when consolidated Well they certainly robbed me consolidating 10 / 1 at their lowest ever price. So much for the 4k I bought in April 2004 at around 28p. £2 - 80 I don't think so. Maybe it's time to re - invest ?96k for a total holding of 100k in shares. Anyone think it is a reasonable punt ?
