Golden Band Resources Inc. Issues 2009 Financial Statements

Thu. August 27, 2009; Posted: 09:30 AM

Golden Band Resources Inc. (the "Company") reported today that it has filed the Company's 2009 Annual Audited Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis on SEDAR. On the advice of the Company's new external auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the April 30, 2009 Audited Financial Statements of the Company restate the 2008 comparative figures to reflect certain changes for the years ended 2007 and 2008 to properly indicate the future income tax expense and liability associated with expenditures renounced to shareholders who invested in flow-through shares in 2007 and 2008. The previously issued interim and year-end financial statements are not required to be recalled, as the restatement will be disclosed within the 2008 comparative figures provided in the April 30, 2009 Audited Financial Statements. The restatement was made because the 2008 financial statements did not fully reflect the impact of renouncing the Canadian Exploration Expense on future income tax expenses where the Company may be taxable. The restatement does not affect current cash, current cash flow, or operational expenses. Future tax losses and Canadian Exploration Expenses may reduce this future tax liability.

The Company's financial statements as previously published and filed in respect to the periods noted above should no longer be relied upon with regard to the above noted matters. The following financial information represents management's best estimate of the effects of the restatement. The effect on net earnings for the 2007 and 2008 fiscal years is:

About Golden Band

Golden Band Resources Inc., already Saskatchewan's leading gold explorer, is now poised to also become a gold producer. Golden Band is a Saskatchewan-based, publicly listed company (GBN: TSXV) whose focus is the long-term, systematic exploration and development of its 100%-owned La Ronge Gold Belt properties. Since 1994, Golden Band has assembled, through staking and strategic acquisition, a land package of more than 750 km(2), including 12 known gold deposits, five former producing mines, and a licensed gold mill. Golden Band's key value drivers are the methodical and systematic targeting of primary to advanced-stage exploration while progressing along a parallel path to becoming a sustainable gold producer. The Company is aggressively pursuing its near-term goal of commercial production of its Bingo, Komis, and EP deposits with processing at the 100%-owned Jolu mill. The Company's objective, supported by a positive Pre-Feasibility Study completed in January 2009, is the annual production of at least 75,000 ounces of gold over a ten-year project life. Other longer-term objectives include the continuation of its highly successful exploration and acquisition strategy.
