About Golden Band




Golden Band Resources, already Saskatchewan's leading gold explorer, is
now its newest gold producer. Golden Band is a Saskatchewan-based,
publicly listed company (GBN: TSXV) whose focus is the long-term,
systematic exploration and development of its 100%-owned La Ronge Gold
Belt properties. Since 1994, Golden Band has assembled through staking
