Good results but nothing earth shattering... of particular notice for SGX...

"In 2010 Goldstone plans to focus on evaluating the east side of the Brookbank Deposit, drill testing the new showing BBE and ramping up exploration on the 35 km long property looking for additional gold mineralized zones."

This is where SGX was deep drilling... what did Goldstone find in the east to warrant making the statement that 2010 drilling this new east showing?... maybe they are basing this on what SGX found?... maybe Goldstone was holding their results (only ok) waiting to release just before SGX stellar Paint Lake results?

GOLDSTONE DRILLING EXPANDS GOLD MINERALIZATION AT BROOKBANK DEPOSIT

Goldstone Resources Inc. has provided encouraging drilling results from its 2009 program on its Brookbank gold deposit property in the Beardmore-Geraldton area of Northern Ontario.

As a result of the 19,520-metre program, the Brookbank Deposit - which is within 11 km of the Company's Northern Empire Mill in Beardmore - has been expanded to the west and gold mineralization has now been intersected down to a depth of 1,250 metres, where it remains open. The program included six wedge holes.

All of the holes targeting the Brookbank deposit and its periphery intersected good widths of altered, brecciated Brookbank shear zone containing quartz + sericite + pyrite stringers. All but one hole returned gold values and all but three holes returned gold values in excess of 1.0 gram per tonne (g/t) as outlined in the table below.

The 2009 drill program, increased by 30% from the originally planned 15,000 metres, totaled 49 drill holes. Assay results of the first 11 holes to B-09-10, including a wedge B-09-05WD which totaled 5,057 metres of drilling, were reported in a news release dated July 9, 2009. Significant intersections include:

- 21.10 g/t over 10.6m in B-09-10

- 17.25 g/t over 1.50m in B-09-07

- 11.64 g/t over 7.80m and 12.81 g/t over 2.80m in B-09-08

- 11.40 g/t over 0.50m in B-09-32

- 8.50 g/t over 4.10m in B-09-15

- 8.04 g/t over 5.00m in B-09-37.

Drilling continues to expand the Brookbank zone westward with two contiguous holes, B-09-02 and B-09-22, assaying 3.88 g Au/t over 1.6m and 4.01 g Au/t over 1.8 m respectively. A third adjacent hole, B-09-20, assayed low grade mineralization in the Brookbank zone, but over 33.0 metres.

A total of 11 holes (B-09-05, 07, 18, 33, 42 and wedges) tested the down dip extension of the Brookbank structural zone between 850 metres and 1,250 metres vertically below surface. All holes intersected the altered and brecciated structural zone over true widths varying from approximately 2.5 metres up to 29 metres in the deepest hole (B-09-18WB). The structure rolls vertically at these depths and continues as a strong structure.

A structurally complex, sheared and brecciated quartz vein rich area in the hanging wall volcanics located about 700 metres east of the main Brookbank Deposit was mechanically stripped and chip sampled and four drill holes (B-09-29 to 32) tested the down dip extent of the gold mineralization. The best mineralization was outlined in the younger of the two sets of oblique trending veins where grab samples were obtained up to 23 g/t (news release July 9, 2009). Values of 2.59 g Au/t, 3.57 g Au/t, 0.85 g Au/t and 11.4 g Au/t over core lengths of 0.5 to 1.0 metres were intersected in the drill holes at shallow depths.

Overall, the 2009 diamond drilling program targeted the main Brookbank Deposit to the west (11 holes), the central part of the deposit (11 holes), to the east (9 holes) and at depth (11 holes) between 850 metres and 1,250 metres below surface. The program also targeted a structure in the volcanics a few hundred metres to the east of Brookbank (2 holes) as well as the Brookbank East showing (BBE) further to the east which was stripped, sampled in detail and drilled (4 holes).

"These solid results will contribute to expanding the resource base at the Brookbank property," said J. Patrick Sheridan, Goldstone Chief Executive Officer. "We look forward to capitalizing on them to further delineate the deposit in the coming year."

Goldstone's Brookbank drilling program was its most aggressive program to date, as the Company continues to expand the mineralized zone on the 100% owned Brookbank Gold Deposit. In 2010 Goldstone plans to focus on evaluating the east side of the Brookbank Deposit, drill testing the new showing BBE and ramping up exploration on the 35 km long property looking for additional gold mineralized zones. In addition, the Company will be actively drilling at the Leitch Mine and other properties in the Beardmore Camp, utilizing results from a 2009 aeromagnetic survey and preliminary drilling carried out late last year.

Drill core was logged and split on site and half-core samples analyzed employing the appropriate gold fire assaying techniques at two independent laboratory, Swastika Laboratories of Swastika Ontario and Activation Laboratories Ltd., Thunder Bay, Ontario. A QA/QC program was employed consisting of duplicate samples, insertion of known standards and check assaying.
