TSX.V: GBN
OTCQX: GBRIF

SASKATOON, Aug. 27, 2013 /CNW/ - Golden Band Resources Inc. ("Golden Band" or the "Company") (TSX.V-GBN; OTCQX-GBRIF) is pleased to announce that after five (5) months of upgrading of its plant facilities and stockpiling of ore, it has begun processing of ores as reported on August 19, 2013 and started pouring gold once again.

During the week of August 18-24, 2013, the Company poured two dore gold/silver bars for a total gross weight of 1,562.577 ounces, or 48.602 kg. These dore bars are a result of ore production from the Roy Lloyd deposit, which is owned 100% by Golden Band. Both bars averaged approximately 76.7% gold and 16.5% silver with 6.8% impurities, which is typical of the bars poured at Golden Band.

Combined with the full start-up of Golden Band's operation north of La Ronge, Saskatchewan, the Company is looking forward to moving back into the long term production of gold and silver. Mining of ore at the various deposits associated with the mine has continued despite the mill shutdown period. There were minor interruptions upon restarting the mill but operations there are now on track within the design parameters of the plant.

Mr. Paul Saxton, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, is the Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101 for this disclosure and has reviewed and approved the content of this news release.
