Interest will continue to accrue at the default rate of 17% until January 2022, then will revert to the original interest rate of 14% until maturity.  In conjunction with the Extension, the Company has agreed a repayment schedule for the Gold Loan and accrued and ongoing interest, as set out below:

In the event that any payment is not made when due in accordance with the agreed repayment schedule, this will be deemed an event of default.  Any interest that is not paid when due will accrue interest at the default rate of 17% until payment.

Related Party Transaction

AIMS is a substantial shareholder of the Company, with an interest of approximately 27.71% of the Company's ordinary shares, and is therefore a related party of the Company as defined in the AIM Rules for Companies ("AIM Rules").

Accordingly, the Extension of the Gold Loan with AIMS, is deemed to be a related party transaction pursuant to Rule 13 of the AIM Rules and it is noted that the board of Goldstone considers, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, Strand Hanson Limited, that the terms and conditions of the Extension are fair and reasonable insofar as the shareholders of the Company are concerned.
