The Company has not completed a feasibility study which establishes mineral reserves with demonstrated economic and technical viability. The Company cautions readers that any potential production may not be economically feasible and historically projects taken to production without establishing reserves through a feasibility study have a much higher risk of economic or technical failure.
Mr. Mossman, President and CEO of the Company stated; "Banks Island Gold has a good relationship and great respect for Selkirk and Imperial Metals. We appreciate the opportunity to advance the Yellow Giant Project as the sole owner and operator. We are focused on adding further value for our shareholders, including Imperial Metals. The Company is excited about the potential of the Yellow Giant Project and has determined that a significant investment in exploration across the Property is warranted as we advance the project towards production."
The Company announces that it has granted 80,000 incentive stock options to its project management consultant. The options, which are subject to the terms and conditions of the Company's stock option plan, may be exercised at a price of $0.76 per share for a term of 5 years.
