SASKATOON, Sept. 5, 2012 /CNW/ - Golden Band Resources Inc. (Golden Band or the Company) (GBN: TSXV; OTCQX: GBRIF) is pleased to announce that drilling has intercepted significant bonanza grade gold mineralization on the Company's Roy Lloyd Mine (Bingo gold deposit) in northern Saskatchewan. Hole RLUG-27, intercepted 8.17 metres (true width 6.5 m) averaging 66.85 grams per tonne gold.

The bonanza gold mineralization was intercepted 255 metres deeper than the lowest mining level in the Roy Lloyd gold mine, further confirming potential for deep extension of economic mineralization.

The drill program is designed in part to define minable resources within the Bingo Structure below the 1175 elevation, which is the lowest active level of the Company's Roy Lloyd gold mine.  Recent drill results and historic data are being utilized to define a new resource below the 1175 level.

Matt Conklin, Golden Band's Vice President of Operations, stated, "Golden Band is very pleased with these and the overall results of the summer surface and underground drilling campaigns at the Roy Lloyd Mine. We are compiling the surface and underground program data and will provide the complete results as quickly as possible, followed by an updated resource estimation for the Roy Lloyd mine."

Mr. Saimon Ngindi, P.Geo., Senior Resource Geologist and Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, is responsible for the accuracy of the technical data and information contained in this press release.
