Bralorne Gold Mines Ltd.: BCSC Technical Disclosure Review
On October 18, 2012, the Company filed on SEDAR a technical report dated October 15, 2012 entitled, "Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Bralorne Gold Mines Property" (the "Report"). The BCSC has identified issues with the report and author's certificates that are non-compliant with NI 43-101. Primarily, the Report contained a sensitivity analysis at a proposed production rate of 250 tonnes per day with a mine life of 10 years, which was based upon a potential expansion of mineral resources. This has been identified as contrary to the requirements of National Instrument 43-101. The Report was posted on the Company's website, and referred to in the Company's investor relations material and consequently the BCSC also identified issues with the Company's website and investor relations material.
The technical report will be revised and re-submitted to the BCSC and the website and investor relations materials are being withdrawn until they can be corrected. The Report will be revised and re-filed to ensure that any economic analyses are limited to known mineral resources and are qualified by the cautionary statements as required by National Instrument 43-101.
The reader is cautioned not to rely on the non-compliant information previously posted on the website, including information in the technical report.
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD
William Kocken
Chief Executive Officer
