About Goldstone

Formed by a late 2009 merger of Ontex Resources and Roxmark Mines, Goldstone Resources is a well funded gold exploration and development company operating in the historically significant Geraldton-Beardmore camp of Northwestern Ontario and focused on gold exploration and deposit delineation at its 100%-owned Key Lake, Brookbank, Northern Empire and Leitch-Sand River gold properties—in addition to its 30% carried interest in the Hardrock Project joint venture with Premier Gold Mines Limited.

A preliminary economic assessment of the Brookbank deposit is being finalized by Micon International. The Camp is host to several past producers in a district that has historical production of 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. Goldstone's fully permitted, expandable 200-TPD mill is located next to the Northern Empire Mine.
