Banks Island Gold Ltd. report that the commissioning of grinding and flotation circuits is in progress and production of gold concentrate has recommenced at the Yellow Giant Gold Property (Yellow Giant), located on Banks Island, British Columbia. The company has recently installed and commissioned additional tailings filter press capacity and optimized the grinding circuit and mill cyclone. Since these improvements have been completed, mill throughput has averaged 200 tonnes per day.

The Falcon Gravity Concentrator in the milling circuit was recently commissioned. This equipment captures gravity recoverable gold in the milling circuit and produces a separate high grade concentrate. Preliminary results from this circuit indicate production of 1/2tonne of concentrate per day grading 900 gpt gold and 750 gpt Silver.

The company intends to operate this system in order to reduce the amount of gold lock-up in mill liners and provide a higher percentage of payable gold from this segment of gold production.
