Banks Island Gold Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:BOZ) (the "Company") is pleased to report an
update on the Bob Zone bulk sample program at the Yellow Giant Gold Property,
located on Banks Island, British Columbia.


Processing of mineralized rock from the upper Bob Zone is ongoing and continuous
improvements are being made to increase plant availability and throughput. Gold
production has increased dramatically (4.2x) since commissioning of the Spiral
Concentrator as reported by News Release on March 14, 2014.


Gold production to March 31, 2014 is displayed in Table 1 below. After
commissioning of the Spiral Concentrator, average payable gold produced per day
has increased from 21oz gold equivalent ("eq") per day to 97oz gold eq per day.

(i)Gold equivalent is calculated by converting payable silver at a ratio of
1/65th to payable gold oz.


Total gold contained in concentrate from processing of Bob Zone mineralization
to March 31, 2014 is 2,633oz gold and 7,756oz silver. Company mining crews are
extracting remaining ore from the first longhole blast and will blast the
remainder of the Upper Bob Zone in the next week. All longhole production
drilling is completed in the Upper Bob Zone and the Company estimates that
approximately 1/3rd of the Bob bulk sample has been processed as of March 31,
2014.


The Company is working diligently towards completing installation and
commissioning of the grinding and flotation circuits of the process plant, with
a targeted completion date in early June 2014. As reported by News Release on
March 5, 2014, Banks Island Gold has recently received a Major Mines Act Permit
("M-241") authorizing commercial production at Yellow Giant. The Company expects
that processing of mineralization from the Bob bulk sample will continue at
present rates and transition into commercial production with mining and
processing of mineralization from the Tel Zone. The Company anticipates that the
addition of the grinding and flotation sections will both significantly increase
gold production due to improved recoveries as well as decrease costs from
increased concentrate grades.
