Golden Band drills two m of 18.27 g/t Au at Fireweed

2011-10-25 09:52 ET - News Release

Mr. Ronald Netolitzk reports

GOLDEN BAND RESOURCES SUMMER EXPLORATION PROGRAM UPDATE

Golden Band Resources Inc. has provided an update to shareholders with further results from the summer exploration program and the initial follow-up diamond drilling on the newly discovered Fireweed prospect (see news release dated Sept. 7, 2011). The company is very encouraged by these initial follow-up results, and is planning additional follow-up this fall and winter.

Channel samples at Fireweed were collected over approximately 35 metres of strike length exposed by overburden stripping, with the best initial assay returning 5.61 grams per tonne gold over three metres, including 8.17 g/t Au over one metre. The previously reported channel sample assays were from the company's in-house unaccredited Jolu Lab (see news release dated Sept. 7, 2011). Twinned channel samples were also sent to the Saskatchewan Research Council's Geoanalytical Laboratories(SRC), an accredited assay lab in Saskatoon. Results are shown in the accompanying table. The assay results indicate a very nuggety gold distribution, as is often present in La Ronge gold belt deposits.

Four diamond drill holes (335.5 metres) were completed on the Fireweed target, comprising two fences approximately 50 metres apart. Assay results of one g/t Au or better are reported in the accompanying table. Of particular note is the intersection of a hangingwall mineralized zone in drill hole FF-1.

The Fireweed trend was traced for a minimum of 250 metres based on the bulk till sampling program. Additional diamond drilling is planned to test the on-strike continuity of Fireweed, as well as possible footwall and hangingwall gold mineralization. This drilling is to commence immediately after the current Komis drilling that is testing that deposit for extensions to depth and on strike.

Two drill holes (300 metres) were also completed to test the 301 Pit target in the Round Lake area, and the extensive till anomaly situated south of Round Lake (see news release dated Sept. 7, 2011). With assay results of one g/t Au or less, these indicate that the sources of the basal till anomalies have not been located. Mineralized quartz vein till cobbles obtained from the 301 pit have returned assays of 186 and 8,810 parts per billion Au, with additional samples being assayed in the lab.

In addition to the further Fireweed diamond drilling, two drill holes are planned to test the Big M prospect (see news release dated Sept. 7, 2011), and the company is considering a winter overburden drilling program and geophysical work to assist in pinpointing the location of these exciting targets in the Round Lake area.

Quality assurance/quality control

Assays were completed at both the company's non-accredited Jolu Mill assay lab and at the Saskatchewan Research Council Geoanalytical Laboratories.

The company's Jolu Lab assay lab is a non-accredited facility. Results are based on the standard fire assay method and utilization of a 30-gram assay charge. The final results for this program include check assays of the significant intervals. The quality assurance and quality control of the assay results were monitored by a series of sample standards and sample blanks that Golden Band routinely inserts into the sample sequences.

The standard fire assays done by the Saskatchewan Research Council Geoanalytical Laboratories are in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025:2005 (CAN-P-4E) standards. The quality assurance and quality control of the assay results were monitored by a series of sample standards and sample blanks that Golden Band routinely inserts into the sample sequences.
