TORONTO, ONTARIO—(January 11, 2011) - Goldstone Resources Inc. (TSX:GRC) (PINK

SHEETS:GRSZF) today announced final results of Phase 2 of the 2010 drilling program on its

100% owned Key Lake property located just west of Geraldton, Ontario.

The Key Lake property is contiguous to the Hardrock Project where diamond drilling by the

Company's joint venture partner, Premier Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX:PG) as operator, has established

a significant gold resource near surface as well as high grade intersections at depth. Goldstone

holds a 30% carried interest in the Hardrock Project.

The 2010 Key Lake drilling program, which totaled 12,430 metres, was focused on identifying

near surface gold mineralization amenable to open pit mining.

2010 drilling at Key Lake was completed on approximately 1,000 metres of the 2.5 Km of

mineralized horizon with the joint objectives of twinning historical holes drilled in the 1990s by

Placer Dome and Cyprus Canada and on filling in gaps and exploring more of the zone’s strike

length. Recent and historical drilling has confirmed the presence and continuity of near surface

gold mineralization between clusters of drill holes. In addition, drilling has established the

existence of high grade gold mineralization , with hole KL-10-31 grading 39.90g/t (1.29 oz/t)

over 1.50 m and hole KL-10-52 intersecting 26.80g/t (0.86 oz/t) over 1 m.

"We are encouraged by these results, particularly given the relatively modest amount of drilling

we have done at Key Lake," said Goldstone Chairman and Interim CEO, Philip Cunningham.

"With the $6.5 million in funding provided by our December 2010 financing, we plan to follow

up with a significantly more intensive program in 2011 beginning in the first quarter, based on

results to date and a preliminary open-pit model we are developing. Our continuing objective is to

establish the viability of an open pit mining operation at Key Lake and to build a NI 43-101

resource.”

“At the same time, in 2011 we will be committing significant resources to our 100%-owned

Northern Empire and Leitch-Sand River properties in the Beardmore camp and are planning a far

more intensive drilling program for this year to pursue several promising targets identified by

aeromagnetic survey, historical data, and recent exploration.”

“Last year, due to lack of funding, just six holes were drilled on these properties with no

significant results, but we are learning more as we go. For example, the McWilliams prospect

south of the Northern Empire Mine returned 0.78 g/t over 9.9m in hole NE-10-03. We will be

following up with additional drilling on this horizon, which has an apparent strike length of over

1,000 meters.”

“As we’ve said before, our objective in Beardmore is to develop more gold resources near our

Northern Empire mill which could be developed sequentially with those identified at our

Brookbank and Northern Empire properties”, Cunningham stated. “In the meantime, we will

continue to assess a number of other factors which influence the economics of development for

these properties before proceeding with a comprehensive study.”

Overall this year Goldstone plans to drill approximately 50,000 metres at its Key Lake and

Beardmore properties, about four times as much as last year.

The Key Lake property hosts the former Jelex Mine and has an approximate strike length of

2.5km, of which 1.5 Km has seen limited drilling. Historic drilling by Cyprus Canada in the mid-

1990’s outlined a 40-50m wide zone of disseminated gold with a higher grade core comprised of

quartz-feldspar porphyry. The most significant historical assay from the Cyprus drilling was for

hole 195-94 which intersected 1.10 g/t over 86 metres. The Jelex Mine had historical production

of 5,675 oz of gold recovered from milling 14,722 tons of ore graded 0.38 oz Au/t.

All samples have been shipped to Activation Laboratories, an accredited mineral analysis

laboratory in Geraldton, Ontario. Analyses were performed using fire assays in the Activation

Laboratories in Thunder Bay, Ontario All core samples were selected by the Goldstone site

geologist, and were cut in half by diamond core saw. Individual samples were labeled, placed in

plastic sample bags and sealed. Groups of samples were then placed into durable rice bags that

were secured by project security tags for shipping. The remaining coarse reject portions of the

samples remain in storage at the Activation Laboratories storage facility in Geraldton as required

in the event that further work is needed.

A QA/QC program has been implemented to monitor all assays from the current drilling program.

Samples are assembled in numbered batches. Included in each batch

Goldstone Resources Inc. is a well-financed 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 Key Lake, Brookbank, Northern

Empire and Leitch-Sand River gold properties, and as a partner in the Hardrock Project joint

venture with Premier Gold. A preliminary assessment of the Brookbank deposit is being carried .

The camp is host to several past producers in a district that has historical production of more than

4.1 million ounces of gold from high grade ore before being shut down primarily as a result of a

$35 gold price—and to Goldstone’s fully permitted, expandable 200-TPD Northern Empire mill.
