About GoldStone Resources Limited

 

GoldStone Resources Limited (AIM: GRL) is an AIM quoted mining and development company with projects in Ghana that range from grassroots exploration to production.

The Company is focused on developing the Akrokeri-Homase project in south-western Ghana, which hosts a JORC Code compliant 602,000oz gold resource at an average grade of 1.77 g/t.  The existing resource is confined to a 4km zone of the Homase Trend, including Homase North, Homase Pit and Homase South.

 

The project hosts two former mines, the Akrokerri Ashanti Mine Ltd, which produced 75,000 oz gold at 24 g/t recovered grade in the early 1900s, and the Homase Pit which AngloGold Ashanti developed in 2002/03 producing 52,000 oz gold at 2.5 g/t recovered.  Production is currently focussed on the Homase Mine however it is the Company's intention to build a portfolio of high-quality gold projects, with a particular focus on the highly prospective Birimian Gold Belt.

 

GoldStone has acquired a 50% interest in a gold project in Sierra Leone, located adjacent to the Boamuhun Gold Mine, a known gold deposit estimated to contain approximately 5.8 million ounces, with early work indicating grades of approximately 12 g/t.
