Progress Report

Goldstone Resources Ltd 08 February 2006 GOLDSTONE RESOURCES LIMITED PROGRESS REPORT The Directors of Goldstone Resources ('Goldstone' or the 'Company') are pleased to provide the following update on the gold programme in Guyana. The Company has completed a systematic soil-geochemistry and mapping programme over six prospective palaeoplacer surfaces in its lease areas, as well as completing a sedimentological and three-dimensional stratigraphic analysis of the reconnaissance drill hole data. The soil sampling has successfully confirmed the outcrop location of two overlapping shallow palaeoplacers in Lease Area 'B'. The assay results have defined a 1 km-wide zone of anomalous mineralisation that extends for 7 km to encompass two drill holes where grades of 3 g/t over 45cm and 3.8 g/t over 18 cm had been intersected. This area, which may contain potential economic mineralisation, lies in open terrain amenable to low-cost drilling. A follow-up exploration programme is being planned. The outcrop traces of the four palaeoplacers tested in the leached mountainous terrain of Lease Area 'A' did not respond to the soil-geochemistry sampling technique applied and therefore shallow drilling along their peripheries will have to be undertaken in any follow-up programme. The commencement of a prospecting programme in this area will be dependent on a successful outcome from the anticipated exploration work programme in Lease Area B referred to above. The sedimentological analysis of drill cores has produced a three-dimensional stratigraphic model of the internal layering of the Roraima mountainland in Lease Area 'A'. Nine sequence boundaries that could be associated with placer mineralisation processes have been identified and additional sampling of the drill cores is in progress to test surfaces not previously included. Assay results will be available in March. Furthermore an angular unconformity, a feature that is considered significant in the Witwatersrand, has been discovered. This enables the positioning of short drill holes in an environment where reworking and placer upgrading might have taken place. This could be carried out in March after the end of the wet season. The GGMC has acknowledged the twenty-six Prospecting Licence applications that GoldStone submitted in December and has granted permission for exploration to be continued within their boundaries, pending issuance of any or all of the above twenty-six Prospecting Licences. The Company currently has cash resources of approximately US$3.4 million.
