TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 8, 2010) - Goldstone Resources Inc. (TSX:GRC)(PINK SHEETS:GRSZF) today announced that drilling at the Hardrock Project joint venture, with Premier Gold Mines Limited (TSX-PG) as operator, has discovered two new gold zones. The "83" and "93" Zones were discovered to the south of the main mined horizons in an area where no previous drilling had been completed.

Goldstone holds a 30% carried interest in the Hardrock Project, with Premier holding the balance.

Initial intersections include 9.78 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) across 5.0 metres (m) (0.29 ounces per ton (oz/ton) across 16.4 feet) in the 83 Zone and 12.3 g/t Au across 4.0 m (0.36 oz/ton across 13.1 feet) in the 93 Zone.

In addition to the new discoveries, hole MM093 was extended to target other known horizons at depth, intersecting 9.28 g/t Au across 28.4 m (0.27 oz/ton across 93.2 feet) including 43.50 g/t Au across 3.0 m (1.27 oz/ton across 9.8 feet) down plunge from the historically mined F-Zone.

The new zones are within 200 m of surface, located west of, and to the south of, all previously mined zones at Hardrock. The "83 Zone" is located at a favourable porphyry-iron formation contact, similar to some of the main zones mined historically at the nearby Hardrock Mine including the "F Zone" from which approximately 1.4 million ounces of gold was mined. The "93 Zone" is located within the southern conglomerate suite of rocks and represents a new target area for the Property. Drilling to date suggests a strike length of some 200 metres and the zones remain wide open at depth.

"This new discovery, another addition beyond the discoveries amalgamated in the recent 43-101 report for near-surface discoveries at the Hardrock Project, bode well for the future of the Geraldton-Beardmore camp and for our 100%-owned properties," said J. Patrick Sheridan, Goldstone Chief Executive Officer. "We look forward to further results from the joint venture and from our own 2010 drilling program."

Owing to the continued success at Hardrock, additional drills have been added with five now active delineating this new discovery and expanding other mineralized zones on the Property. Table 1 provides a summary of significant results from initial assays received from drilling at the new discovery.

The Hardrock Project is host to several past-producing mines, which collectively produced nearly 3.0 million ounces of gold from depths within 600 metres of surface between 1938 and 1968. The Hardrock Project benefits from development advantages with the Trans-Canada Highway, Trans-Canada Pipeline, and major power lines running through, or proximal to, the centre of the property. Significant potential exists for developing resources in several areas including: open pit-style mineralization; high-grade, narrow-vein targets, such as the new discoveries; and mineralization below the historically mined zones (below the 600m Level).

On March 4, 2010 Goldstone and Premier announced an initial resource, containing significant indicated and inferred resources for the near-surface (open pit style) zones at Hardrock based on drilling completed as of the end of 2009. The joint-venture expects to complete more that 70,000 metres of drilling in 2010 following which a revised resource will be completed for both the open pit and underground zones.
