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 NI 43-101 compliant technical report and feasibility study.
