Banks Island Gold Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:BOZ) - 



--  High-grade gold encountered in multiple holes at the Tel Zone. 
--  Intersections illustrate potential for expansion of high-grade resource
    at depth. 



Banks Island Gold Ltd. (the "Company") announces that it has received assay
results for nine diamond drillholes (1,923m) completed at the Tel Zone in
February 2012.


Diamond drilling focused on expansion of the current resource at the Tel Zone.
Highlights from the recent drilling include intercepts of 50.8gpt Au, 43gpt Ag
over 3.0m in drillhole BIG-12-29 and 26.5gpt Au, 13gpt Ag over 2.5m in drillhole
BIG-12-32. Significant mineralized intersections are displayed in Table 1.

Drillholes BIG-12-29 and BIG 12-32, drilled at angles of -45 degrees,
intersected the mineralized zone below the current resource at the Tel Central
Zone at a depth of 145m below surface. At this depth, the mineralized zone was
intersected further into the footwall than expected, which may be related to a
change in dip of the Tel Zone structure at depth or movement by faulting.


Mr. Mossman, CEO of the Company, stated; "Recent drilling at the Tel Zone
illustrates the potential for expansion of the current high-grade resource to
depth. The Company plans to drill additional holes to test the Tel Zone at depth
after evaluation of the recent drill results is completed."


A 3.5m zone of weak and broken ground was encountered in the immediate
hanging-wall of the mineralized zone, from 206.5m to 210.0m in drillhole
BIG-12-29, resulting in near total core loss and an inability to sample that
portion of the Tel vein.


Drillhole BIG-12-33 was designed as a resource definition hole for the Tel
Central Zone at a depth of 60m below surface and BIG-12-34 tested the Tel Main
Zone below the current resource at a depth of 40m below surface.
