GoldStone Resources Ltd. said May 18 that it secured the renewal of prospecting licenses PL6/87 and RL6/96, which form part of its Akrokeri and Homase gold projects, respectively, in Ghana. The licenses are valid to April 2020.

The miner is conducting a large-scale soil sampling program on the properties, which will be completed soon.

In January, GoldStone initiated a project to potentially revive the old Akrokeri underground mine, which produced about 75,000 ounces of gold between 1904 and 1909, as part of a review of historical data.
