Golden Band Resources Inc. announced that it has awarded the first drilling contract of the 2014 exploration season to Newmac Industries Ltd. of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. The program is for a minimum of 2,400 metres and will be located at the Decade gold deposit and at the northeast extension of the formerly mined Rod Zone. The Decade gold deposit, situated approximately 275 metres north of the existing Jolu mill site, has been mined in the past and is seen to have good potential to host additional resources on strike and to depth.

The Rod Zone Extension hosts the historic Pam, Blindman and 'East' gold zones which also have potential to host additional gold resources. The program commenced on April 18. The company announced the results of the underground drill program that was carried out in the latter part of 2013 as well as earlier in 2014 at the Bingo deposit which is part of the Roy Lloyd mine.

The drill program was designed to define mineable resources within the Bingo structure below the 1,175 metre level (175 metre elevation), which is the lowest active level of the company's Roy Lloyd gold mine, and to test for additional resource to depth and along strike. These recent drill results, along with historic data are being utilized to define a new resource below the 1,175 metre level. A total of 604 samples were analyzed at Golden Bands' on-site laboratory via their 'standard fire assay method' 20 samples were re-assayed via the 'metallic method', 47 sample standards and blanks were routinely inserted into the sample stream by Golden Band personnel and 11 samples were re-assayed as duplicates.

An additional 5 samples were selected from the mineralized intervals and were sent to TSL Laboratories in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, which is an ISO/IEC guideline 17025 accredited facility, as an independent check of samples that occur within the significantly mineralized zone.
