Banyan Gold Corp. provided update on operations at the Company's AurMac Property, Yukon Territory amid wildfire alerts and evacuations. Due to the proximity of wildfires, the Yukon Government recommended evacuation of VictoriaGold's Eagle Gold Mine and nearby placer operations.

Banyan's camps are not in the alert zone and were not evacuated. The access roads to Nitra property are included in the alert zone. Out of caution, and for the health and safety of personnel, have suspended prospecting and soil sampling activities on Nitra property and have decided to wrap up Phase I program drilling program at AurMac with 24,556 metres drilled.

Core logging and cutting, regional exploration in areas currently not proximal to wildfires and the onsite prep lab continue to be operational. Banyan has opened its excess space in camp to evacuated workers from the Victoria Gold EagleMine. The Company continues to monitor the situation with several fires in the Mayo area, all of which are currently located over 25 kilometres from the AurMac operational area.

Company is well financed with over $9.5 million in cash on hand and is in the planning stages for a Phase II program.
