GoldStone Resources Limited (AIM: GRL), the West and Central Africa focused gold exploration company quoted on AIM, is pleased to announce the appointment of Angela List as a Non-Executive Director to its Board of Directors (the "Board").

Angela is a director of BCM Investment Limited ("BCM"), which following its participation in the Company's recent fundraise announced on 27 September 2017, is interested in approximately 20.08 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital.  BCM is part of the wider BCM Group of companies ("BCM Group"), which are one of Africa's largest private contract miners.

The Board looks forward to working alongside Angela, who has significant operational and in-country expertise, to further the Company's business objectives in Ghana.  Her trusted network throughout Africa extends from Government authorities through to the local communities where the BCM Group operates.  Most recently, Angela was instrumental in the BCM Group acquiring a 90 per cent. interest in the Nzema Mine in Ghana, formerly owned by TSX-listed Endeavour Mining Corporation.
