Progress Report

Goldstone Resources Ltd 01 November 2007 GOLDSTONE RESOURCES LTD PROGRESS REPORT AND CHANGE OF REGISTERED OFFICE The Directors of GoldStone Resources Ltd ('GoldStone' or the 'Company') wish to provide the following update on the Company's activities. SWARTDORING DIAMOND PROJECT In April 2007 GoldStone conditionally agreed to acquire a 70% interest in Xanadu Mining (Pty) Ltd ('Xanadu') from GeoQuest Holdings Limited ('GeoQuest') (the ' Acquisition'). The interest comprises 70% of both the share capital of Xanadu and inter-company loans owed by Xanadu to GeoQuest. Xanadu, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, GrindStone Mining (Pty) Ltd and Multidirect Mining (Pty) Ltd, holds prospecting rights over the Swardoring Diamond Project. Completion of the Acquisition is conditional on: • The successful listing of GoldStone on the Alternative Exchange of the JSE Securities Exchange; and • The approval of the Acquisition by the South African Reserve Bank (' SARB'). The Company has received provisional approval from the Listings Committee of the JSE Securities Exchange to list on the Alternative Exchange. In addition the SARB has approved the acquisition of 70% of the share capital of Xanadu by GoldStone. Approval by the SARB of the acquisition of the inter-company loans is still pending. Completion of the Acquisition will not take place until full satisfaction of each of the conditions. GoldStone and GeoQuest have agreed to extend the long stop date for completion of the Acquisition to 28 February 2008. The Swartdoring Diamond Deposit is a preserved diamondiferous palaeochannel of the Swartdoring River in the Northern and Western Cape Provinces of South Africa. An inferred resource of 12 million tonnes of diamond bearing gravel lies beneath loose to slightly cemented sandy overburden and there is a possibility to extend this resource to approximately 49 million tonnes of diamond bearing gravel. Exploration at an investment cost of approximately US$500,000 will be conducted in order to complete a Mining Feasibility Study on the inferred resource of the project. BAUXITE In September 2005, GoldStone entered into an option agreement with BHP Billiton over the bauxite interests in Guyana. An initial programme was launched to explore the bauxite potential in the leased areas. The programme confirmed the deposits previously identified by GoldStone. Further more detailed sampling was undertaken during the first quarter of 2007 and the Company has since received all the results from this completed programme. BHP Billiton elected during July 2007 not to exercise its option and subsequently made available to GoldStone all information in its possession relating to the exploration programme, as well as a summarising geological report. During the third quarter of 2007 GoldStone secured an extension of the expiry date of the bauxite Reconnaissance Permission from 5 September 2007 to 4 January 2008. The Company has since entered into discussions with other major players in the bauxite industry and the bauxite project is accordingly being evaluated and considered. FINANCING The Company's cash resources are currently US$2.65 million. APPROVAL Dr. Lawrie Minter, who holds a PhD in palaeoplacer sedimentology has reviewed and approved the content of this announcement. CHANGE OF REGISTERED OFFICE The Directors of GoldStone also announce that registered office of the Company has changed to: PO Box 560 Heron House L'Avenue de la Commune St Peter JE4 8XP Jersey SUMMARY The Board looks forward to the completion of the acquisition of the Swartdoring Diamond Project which has the potential to provide near term production to the Company. The listing of GoldStone on the Alternative Exchange is taking longer than planned due to the outstanding SARB approval. This process is well advanced and the Board anticipates that the listing and completion of the Acquisition will take place in early 2008. In addition and on an ongoing basis the Board is actively investigating and reviewing other potential exploration projects which may fall within the ambit of sediment hosted minerals.
