Marketwired
Goldstone Resources Inc. (TSX: GRC)(PINK SHEETS: GRSZF) today
announced that the 2011 exploration program at the Hardrock Project
joint venture by Premier Gold Mines Limited (TSX: PG) as operator
will employ eight drill rigs and will be dedicated to further
delineating resources.
Goldstone holds a 30% carried interest in the Hardrock Project,
for which an updated NI43-101 resource estimate is expected late in
the first quarter of 2011.
The more than 110,000 metres of drilling done at the Hardrock
Project in 2010 was successful in identifying and delineating
multiple open pit and underground style gold zones with the
following highlights:
-- Early in 2010, a large NI43-101 compliant open pit resource was
announced. It is anticipated that this resource will be updated in
latter portion of Q1 2011 and include all drilling to the end of 2010.
-- Drilling has expanded the footprint of the North Zone, which hosted an
historic production grade of 7.54 grams per tonne of gold (g/t Au) or
0.22 ounces per short ton (oz/ton) more than 600 metres down-plunge
below the bottom level of the Hardrock Mine where it remains wide open
for expansion.
-- Drilling successfully delineated and expanded the F-Zone deposit with
intersections such as 7.92 g/t Au across 114.5 metres (m) (0.23 oz/t
across 375.6 feet) including 23.56 g/t Au across 31.0 m (0.69 oz/ton
across 101.7 feet) within the historic F-Zone resource area and 18.49
g/t Au across 20.5 m (0.54 oz/t across 67.2 feet) in step-out drilling
approximately 400 metres west of the limits of previous exploration.
-- New discoveries were made including the K-Zone, located just below the
F-Zone. A full summary of results will be released in the near future.
In 2011, permit submittals will be made for Advanced Exploration
(de-watering and ramp construction).
"We are pleased with the continuing intensive pace of
exploration and discovery at the Hardrock Project," said Philip
Cunningham, Goldstone Chairman and Interim CEO. "In 2011, Goldstone
will also be actively exploring next door on our 100%-owned Key
Lake property where our objective is to establish a NI 43-101
resource that can be developed by open pit methods."
Located near Geraldton, Ontario, the Hardrock Project is host to
several past-producing mines which collectively produced more than
3.0 million ounces of gold, primarily from shallow depths of 2000
feet or less (600 metres). The mined zones remained wide open at
depth at the time mining ceased. Additionally, developed but
unmined historic resources were left in place within the existing
mine workings.
