Banks Island Gold Ltd. Reports Positive Cash From Operating Activities of $789,000 in the Fourth Quarter - Seite 2

The Company is looking forward to an excellent year with a focus on increasing sales and cash flows from operations, expansion of the Companies mineral resources, and achievement of profitable operations.

The Company is not basing its production decision on a feasibility study of mineral reserves with demonstrated economic and technical viability. Banks Island Gold Ltd. has decided to put the Property into production without first establishing mineral reserves supported by a NI43-101 compliant technical report and feasibility study. The Company cautions readers that such production may not be economically feasible and historically such projects have a much higher risk of economic or technical failure.
