GoldStone Resources Limited announced that a geochemical soil sampling programme has started within the Homase and Akrokeri Licence areas. This is being done to confirm known mineralization and anomalies in the area and also to extend the potential of the mineable material outside of the known resource. Historical exploration of the Licences included Magnetic and Radiometric conductivity (VTEM) and Chargeability (IP) geophysical surveys, soil and outcrop sampling. The existence of gold anomalous areas resulting from the analysis of the historical samples suggest the existence of possible prospective areas. In addition, artisanal mining activities targeting some NE-SW quartz vein fractures have been carried out around the old Akrokeri mine. Approximately 6,000 samples, including those for quality control, over six target areas, will be collected and assayed and the results reviewed for prospective anomalies. Sampling will be undertaken over a grid spacing of 50 metres by 20 metres. These are high priority exploration targets and if any soil sampling proves successful, detailed trenching and drilling will be considered.
