Progress Report

Goldstone Resources Ltd 02 June 2005 GOLDSTONE RESOURCES LTD GOLD: ASSAY RESULTS AND PROGRESS REPORT The Directors of GoldStone Resources Ltd ('the Company' or 'GoldStone') are pleased to report on the progress of the Company's gold programme. The reconnaissance drilling programme has now been completed. Geological analysis of drilling results received to date has highlighted two continuous palaeosurfaces at depth, each over 100 square kilometres in extent, with associated anomalous gold mineralization. Five follow-up reconnaissance drill holes are in progress over these targets. A total of 11,562m within 51 drill holes has been drilled in the Company's two lease areas. Seven of the holes drilled into gabbro sills that are usually 300m thick and were therefore aborted. Assay results from 18 drill holes have indicated 28 gold-bearing palaeoplacer tracers. Five drill holes were barren and 21 drill holes are still in the process of being sampled or assayed. To date, a total of 3,485 drill hole samples have been delivered to the assay laboratory and 2,749 samples have been assayed. In addition to previously reported encouraging results, five new positive assays ranging from 100 to 1,140 ppb have been obtained and are listed below. A downhole geophysical survey of twenty-two of the drill holes has been completed and the data are being integrated with sedimentological logs. Dr Minter, GoldStone's Director of Exploration, reports that: 'Three-dimensional stratigraphic analysis of a set of three drill holes in Lease Area 'A', where a thin 6.36g/t gold-bearing distal palaeosurface was intersected, has confirmed a laterally continuous planar surface at 54 metres depth, which is estimated to extend over 112 square kilometres. Two follow-up reconnaissance drill holes are in progress over this very prospective target. Three-dimensional stratigraphic analysis of a set of five drill holes in Lease Area 'B', which intersected a thin 26g/t gold-bearing palaeosurface 108 metres below surface, has also revealed regional continuity across an area that is estimated to extend over 123 square kilometres. Three follow-up reconnaissance drill holes are in progress over this prospective target.' It is anticipated that by the end of August 2005, all the assay data will be available and that three-dimensional stratigraphic analysis incorporating them will have been completed. This will enable definition of the most prospective areas to be made and Prospecting Applications may be submitted for follow-up exploration.
