RODUCTION UPDATE

Total estimated gold production in June 2015 was 1,863 oz of gold equivalent ("Aueq"). The Company improved on production from May despite delays in mine development which impacted the availability of high quality mill feed for the month.

Gold production data for the 2015 calendar year to date are displayed in Table 1.

Delays in mine development due to major required maintenance on primary underground equipment impacted the production schedule at the Discovery Zone. Low grade stockpiles were processed in June due to the delay in production mining from underground. Mill feed for the month of June consisted of approximately 40% Discovery, and 60% low grade stockpiles.

Company mining crews have completed the 2nd level in Discovery Zone at the end of June and production drilling is currently in progress. A significant thickening in the vein was encountered at the end of the 2nd level which required extra development and production drilling.

Face sample assays from the first and second levels at the Discovery Zone are displayed in Table 2.

The mine development crew is currently driving the third level access in Discovery and is expected to reach diamond drillhole DIS-12-03 in mid-July. Drillhole DIS-12-03 assayed 135gpt Au over 3.7m. (See news release dated May 25th 2012).

The Company has not based its production decision on a feasibility study of mineral reserves with demonstrated economic and technical viability. Banks Island Gold Ltd. has decided to put the Property into production without first establishing mineral reserves supported by a NI43-101 compliant technical report and feasibility study. The Company cautions readers that such production may not be economically feasible and historically such projects have a much higher risk of economic or technical failure.
