TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Aug. 25, 2010) -
GOLDSTONE RESOURCES INC. (TSX:GRC)(PINK SHEETS:GRSZF) is pleased to announce that ongoing drilling continues to delineate significant near-surface gold mineralization in multiple zones at the Hardrock Project in Northwestern Ontario. Current drilling is focused on expanding and defining near-surface, open pit style, mineralization in addition to defining multiple zones of higher grade mineralization that are expected to comprise resources amenable to underground mining methods. Highlights from recent drilling include:
* The identification of two primary high-grade lenses within the NN Zone horizon. Intersections in the newly identified "East Lense" have returned up to 13.05 grams per tonne Gold (g/t Au) across 4.1 metres (m) or 0.38 ounces per ton (oz/t) across 13.5 feet.
* Infill and expansion drilling further defines the EP Zone (open-pit) target with intersections of up to 3.16 g/t Au across 16.5 m (0.09 oz/t across 54.1 feet), 7.10 g/t Au across 9.0 m (0.21 oz/t across 29.5 feet) and 5.43 g/t Au across 10.2 m (0.16 oz/t across 33.5 feet).
* Deep drilling in the North and F-Zone continues to intersect impressive gold values suggesting excellent resource potential proximal to and below existing mine workings. Further results from this drilling are expected in the near future.
NN Zone Drilling
The near-surface portion of the NN Zone has now attained a strike length of approximately 600 metres. Recent drilling has been focused on defining narrower, underground style mineralization down-plunge and at depth below the previously announced, near-surface, NI43-101 resource estimate at Hardrock. Of particular significance, drilling has identified two lenses of higher-grade gold mineralization, both of which remain wide open for expansion (see Figure 1). Highlight intersections include 13.05 g/t Au across 4.1 m (0.38 oz/t across 13.5 feet) in hole MM160 from the new eastern high-grade lense that was identified when following-up a previously drilled intersection of 4.93 g/t Au across 10.5 m (0.14 oz/t across 34.4 feet), and previously announced intersections within the main NN zone that returned 22.97 g/t Au across 24.8 m (0.67 oz/t across 81.4 feet) and 8.14 g/t Au across 9.0 m (0.24 oz/t across 29.5 feet). Follow-up drilling down-plunge of these intersections is underway. New drill results from the NN Zone are contained in Table 1.

Infill and expansion drilling in the EP Zone continues to define high-grade, open-pit style and underground style gold mineralization. The EP Zone comprises much of the current near-surface gold resource at Hardrock and drilling is aimed at converting inferred resources to indicated status. A highlighted selection of drill results deemed to be significant from the EP Zone is contained in Table 2.

Hardrock Deeps
Three drills are currently defining mineralization in several areas below the limits of historical mining at Hardrock, from which more than 2.1 Million ounces of gold was mined to a maximum depth of 600 metres, shallow for an Archean gold deposit. Results from this drilling are expected to be released in the near future.
"Our drilling both proximal to and below the historic mine workings is returning impressive results in multiple areas. This is very significant for the project because it confirms that the historic zones extend to depth and several targeted resource blocks remain wide open for expansion" stated Tim Twomey, Exploration Manager for Premier. "Our drilling continues to identify gold mineralization in new areas with consistent plunges to depth. This continued success has the potential to add materially to our current mineral resource."
The Hardrock Project is operated under a joint venture with Goldstone Resources Inc.(TSX:GRC) (Premier holds a 70% interest in the project). The Hardrock Project is host to several past-producing mines which collectively produced nearly 3.0 Million ounces of gold primarily from shallow depths within 600 metres of surface from 1938-1968. The Hardrock Project benefits from development advantages with the Trans-Canada Highway, Trans-Canada Pipeline, and major power lines running through the center of the property. A revised mineral resource estimate is expected to be completed following the 2010 drill program, potentially containing both open pit and underground style resources.

The GRC team should take the RBC report and run with it. If promoted in the right way they should be able to at least double the share price in a short space of time. GRC is vastly undervalued and the stock buying world should be made known of its vast appeal. Mr. Cunningham the ball is now in your court: take us to the promised land.
