Goldstone to Begin 2011 Key Lake Drilling Program by February 15

Marketwired
Goldstone Resources Inc. (TSX: GRC)(PINK SHEETS: GRSZF) today
announced that the first phase of a $6.5 million 2011 gold
exploration program in the Geraldton-Beardmore region of
Northwestern Ontario will begin by February 15 on its Key Lake
property, where the Company is seeking to add to gold resources
established through a limited program in 2010 and to establish the
viability of an open pit mining operation.
2010 drilling at Key Lake delineated a mineralization zone with
intersections such as 3.17 g/t Au over 44.0 metres and 2.28 g/t Au
over 42.7 metres.
A contract has been signed with Orbit-Garant Drilling of Val
d'Or, P.Q. and two rigs will actively drill an estimated 30,000
metres in 2011 at Key Lake. The property borders the Hardrock
Project joint venture with Premier Gold Mines Limited (TSX: PG) in
which Goldstone holds a 30% carried interest and where eight drill
rigs will be active in 2011. Remaining assay results from the 2010
Hardrock drilling program by Premier as operator are expected soon,
with an updated NI 43-101 report anticipated by the end of the
first quarter of this year.
"Our objective for 2011 at Key Lake is to expand the current
resource base through in-fill drilling-with hole targeting assisted
by a recently completed preliminary pit model-as well as to
continue expanding the mineralized corridor an additional kilometer
to the west," said Philip Cunningham, Goldstone Chairman and
Interim CEO.
"In addition, next week we will begin line-cutting and IP
surveys on other favourable geological horizons on the Key Lake
property to outline further drill targets," Cunningham added.
While full plans for the Beardmore camp will develop over the
coming months, an additional drill rig will be added in March to
drill promising extensions of the Northern Empire Mine and the Sand
River-Leitch Mine complex, as well as the McWilliams showing on the
Northern Empire Property, which was previously drilled in the fall
of 2010 and intersected a favourable gold-bearing horizon in hole
NE10-03.
Goldstone's objective in Beardmore is to develop more gold near
the Northern Empire mill which could be developed sequentially with
those identified at its Brookbank and Northern Empire properties.
The Company recently hired Senior Project Geologist George
Langstaff, whose primary mandate for 2011 will be to study and
reinterpret past producing properties in the Beardmore camp, to
identify additional promising drilling targets for this year and
beyond.
In late December 2010, Goldstone commissioned a Fugro Airborne
GEOTEM survey over its Faymar Mine property in Deloro Township in
the Timmins gold camp. A former producer, Faymar is located just
south of and adjacent to the Destor-Porcupine Fault. Results of the
survey are currently being interpreted.

About Key Lake
The Key Lake property hosts the former Jelex Mine and has an
approximate strike length of 2.5km, of which 1.5 Km has seen
limited drilling. Historic drilling by Cyprus Canada in the
mid-1990's outlined a 40-50m wide zone of disseminated gold with a
higher grade core comprised of a quartz-feldspar porphyry. The most
significant historical assay from the Cyprus drilling was for hole
195-94 which intersected 1.10 g/t over 86 metres.
About Goldstone
Goldstone Resources Inc. is a gold exploration and development
company operating in the Geraldton-Beardmore camp of Northwestern
Ontario, host to mines with historical production of more than 4.1
million ounces of gold from high grade ore-and to Goldstone's fully
permitted Northern Empire mill. Goldstone is focused on exploration
and deposit delineation at its 100%-owned Key Lake, Brookbank,
Northern Empire, and Leitch-Sand River gold properties, and as a
partner with a 30 percent carried interest in the Hardrock Project
joint venture with operator Premier Gold Mines Limited. Eight rigs
will be active as part of the 2011 Hardrock Project exploration
program.
NI 43-101-compliant resource estimates for the Company's
Brookbank (dated May 2009) and Northern Empire Mine properties
(dated November 2008) contain combined indicated and inferred
resources in excess of 800,000 ounces of gold.
