Progress Report

Goldstone Resources Ltd 26 April 2006 GOLDSTONE RESOURCES LIMITED PROGRESS REPORT The Directors of Goldstone Resources Ltd ('Goldstone' or the 'Company') wish to provide the following update on the gold programme in Guyana. As announced on 8 February 2006, sedimentological analysis of drill cores carried out by GoldStone has produced a three-dimensional stratigraphic model of the internal layering of the Roraima mountainland in Lease Area 'A'. Nine sequence boundaries which could be associated with placer mineralisation processes were identified in the model. Assay results from additional sampling of the drill cores to test surfaces not previously sampled have now been received. These assay results have not identified further mineralised palaeoplacer potential in Lease Area 'A'. In view of these, and previous, discouraging assay results of drill cores and the inconclusive results from the soil sampling programme in Lease Area 'A', the Board has decided to concentrate the Company's future exploration activities in Lease Area 'A' on three of the twenty-five previously identified potential prospecting licence areas. The angular unconformity recently discovered in two of the three areas selected for prospecting licence applications is currently being explored by shallow drilling. The mineralised layer identified in Lease Area 'B' is also currently being investigated further by trenching in order to identify the extent of the bed. Drilling to determine the grade of any further mineralisation may follow during May 2006. The assay results of drill cores recovered from the above two exploration programmes are expected to be available in July 2006. Dr Lawrie Minter, who holds a BSc in Geology and PhD in Palaeoplacer Sedimentology and who is GoldStone's Director of Exploration, has reviewed and approved the content of this announcement.
