About Goldstone Resources Inc.

Formed by a late 2009 merger of Ontex Resources and Roxmark Mines, Goldstone Resources is a well funded gold exploration and development company operating in the historically significant Geraldton-Beardmore camp of Northwestern Ontario and focused on gold exploration and deposit delineation at its 100%-owned Key Lake, Brookbank, Northern Empire and Leitch-Sand River gold properties—in addition to its 30% carried interest in the Hardrock Project joint venture with Premier Gold Mines Limited.
