("GoldStone" or the "Company")

 

Director/PDMR Notifications

 

GoldStone Resources Limited (AIM: GRL), the West and Central Africa focused gold exploration company quoted on AIM, announces the following issues of a total of 643,315 ordinary shares of 1 penny each ("Ordinary Shares") to directors of the Company in lieu of salaries accrued in September 2017 ("Fee Shares"). As set out in the Company's announcements of 3 April 2017 and 2 June 2017, the Directors have agreed, in order to preserve cash, to convert salaries and fees through to the end of September 2017 into Ordinary Shares.

 

The number of Fee Shares to be issued in respect of such fees and salaries for September 2017 has been calculated by reference to the volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares for the period of 30 days prior to the 1 October 2017, being 1.92p.

 

In addition to the Fee Shares, the Board have agreed to issue 96,153 Ordinary Shares to Neil Gardyne in respect of his salary for October, due in respect of his one month notice period following his resignation from the Board announced yesterday (the "Additional Fee Shares"). The number of Additional Fee Shares has been calculated based on the closing mid market price of the Company's Ordinary Shares on 2 October 2017 of 2.08p, being the latest practicable date prior to this announcement.

 

The Fee Shares to be issued to each of the Directors in respect of accrued fees and salaries for the month of September 2017, the Additional Fee Shares and the resulting interests in Ordinary Shares are set out below:

Admission and Total Voting Rights

 

Application will be made for the 739,468 Fee Shares and Additional Fee Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission").  Admission and dealings are expected to commence at 8.00 a.m. on 9 October 2017.  On Admission, the Company will have 249,707,991 Ordinary Shares in issue.

 

The Company does not currently hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury.  Accordingly, the above figure of 249,707,991 may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

 

Related Party Transaction

 

The issue of the Additional Fee Shares to Neil Gardyne, having served as a director of the Company in the preceding 12 months, is treated as a related party transaction under the AIM Rules for Companies.  The Board, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, Strand Hanson Limited, considers that the issue of the Additional Fee Shares are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's Shareholders are concerned.
