GOLDSTONE RESOURCES LIMITED

("GoldStone" or the "Company")

Interim Results for the six months ended 30 June 2025

GoldStone Resources Limited (AIM: GRL), the AIM quoted gold exploration and development company focused on bringing the Homase Mine within its Akrokeri-Homase Gold Project ("AKHM") in Ghana into production, announces its unaudited interim results for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025 (the "Period").

HIGHLIGHTS

•     Produced 2,917 ounces of gold to the end of August 2025.

•     Significant infrastructure upgrades, paid from cashflow, have enhanced long-term capacity. 

•     Focus on delivering production targets with 48,000 tonnes per month of agglomerated ore delivered to the heap leach pads.

•     Gross profits in the period increased by more than 200% versus H1 FY24,  supported by the strong gold price during the period.

•     Liabilities reduced with the successful conversion of the Loan Note on 28 January 2025.

•     Cambell Smyth, who brings over 30 years of experience in fund management, capital markets, and corporate finance, appointed as Interim Chairman.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S STATEMENT

The first half of 2025 has been one of steady but determined progress for Goldstone, as we look to build on the operational and financial achievements of H2 2024 and deliver on our near-term production targets.  Whilst the past 6 and 12 months have presented challenges for the board and management, I feel tremendous pride when I look at what has been achieved in recent months at Homase, and the continued promise of what can be delivered at both the Homase open pit and the Akrokeri underground mine in the longer term.

Post-period, the Board has seen a change in leadership with Angela List stepping down and Campbell Smyth assuming the role of Interim Chairman.  We thank Angela for her efforts during her time as Chair, and welcome Campbell to his expanded role as we continue to execute our strategy.

Gold production continued to progress during the period. As announced on 2 September 2025, the Company poured 11.06 kilograms (approximately 355.6 ounces) of gold doré, underlining our ability to maintain steady production as we optimise our operations.

Expansion of our heap leach facilities also continues to move forward with the engineering design is complete, the construction permit pending, and the Company have ordered and paid for the geotextile and geomembrane liner, with delivery anticipated by the end of the month.  This expansion will provide the additional capacity needed to support sustained growth throughout the remaining months of 2025 and into 2026.

Operationally, our focus remains on delivering 48,000 tonnes of agglomerated stacked ore per month.  Together with the recommencement of mining at Pit 1, maintaining an average grade of 1 g/t, this strategy is expected to support our production profile through the remainder of 2025.

Looking ahead, we remain confident in the fundamentals of our assets and our ability to execute our growth plans.  We thank our employees and partners for their hard work and commitment, and our shareholders for their continued support as we move through this growth and ramp up phase.

Notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statement

1.          General information

The financial statements present the consolidated results of the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group") for each of the periods ending 30 June 2025, 30 June 2024 and 31 December 2024.

As permitted, the Group has chosen not to adopt International Accounting Standard 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' in preparing these interim financial statements.  The condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, which have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standards.

The unaudited interim financial information set out above does not constitute statutory accounts. The information has been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of UK-adopted International Accounting Standards. Except as described below, the accounting policies applied in preparing the interim financial information are consistent with those that have been adopted in the Group's 2024 audited financial statements. Statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 were approved by the Board of Directors on 30th June 2025 and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors on those financial statements was unqualified. The Directors approved these unaudited condensed interim financial statements on 26th September 2025.

There are no IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that are effective for the first time for the financial year commencing 1 January 2025 that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group.

The financial information for the 6 months ended 30 June 2025 and the 6 months ended 30 June 2024 have not been audited.

The business is not subject to seasonal variations. No dividends have been paid in the period (2024: US$ Nil).

2.          Risks and uncertainties

The key risks that could affect the Group's short and medium term performance and the factors that mitigate those risks have not substantially changed from those set out in the Group's 2024 Annual Report and Financial Statements, a copy of which is available on the Company's website: www.goldstoneresources.com .The Group's key financial risks are the availability of adequate funding and foreign exchange movements.

3.          Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates are set out in note 2(d) of the Group's 2024 Annual Report and Financial Statements. The nature and amounts of such estimates have not changed significantly during the interim period. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the measurement of certain investments at fair value.

5.          Operating segments

The Group has two reportable segments, exploration and corporate, which are the Group's strategic divisions. For each of the strategic divisions, the Group's CEO, deemed to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), reviews internal management reports on at least a monthly basis.  The results are then subsequently shared with the Board.  The Group's reportable segments are:

Exploration, Evaluation and production: the exploration operating segment is presented as an aggregation of the Homase and Akrokeri licences (Ghana).  Expenditure on exploration activities for each licence is used to measure agreed upon expenditure targets for each licence to ensure the licence clauses are met.

Corporate: the corporate segment includes the holding company costs in respect of managing the Group. There are varying levels of integration between the corporate segment and the combined exploration activities, which include resources spent and accounted for as corporate expenses that relate to furthering the exploration activities of individual licences.
