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.
