Pacific Booker Minerals Inc. Clarifies “Emphasis Of Matter” In Auditors Report

Vancouver BC, June 13, 2011: In the Company’s audited financial statements filed in May, 2011, for the year ended January 31, 2011, in accordance with recently updated Canadian auditing standards, the auditor's report contained a paragraph titled Emphasis of Matter:

The report from the Auditors stated: “Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 to these financial statements, which states that Pacific Booker Minerals Inc. incurred significant losses from operations, negative cash flows from operating activities and has an accumulated deficit. This, along with other matters as described in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast doubt about the ability of Pacific Booker Minerals Inc. to continue as a going concern.

Under the rules of the NYSE Amex Stock Exchange any such note in an auditor's report is required to be announced. The Emphasis of Matter paragraph is now required to be included in Canadian audit reports for companies which do not have positive cash flows presently or in the short term.

In addition, effective for the company's year ended January 31, 2011, auditing standards in Canada changed from historic Canadian auditing standards to Canadian auditing standards (CAS). With the new CAS standards, came new guidance requiring an auditor to include the Emphasis of Matter paragraph in the standard auditors' report when an auditor concludes that the use of the going-concern assumption is appropriate in the circumstances but a material uncertainty exists. Previous Canadian auditing standards did not require this paragraph in the auditors' report when such matters were adequately described in the notes to the financial statement. As a result the auditors' report dated April 27, 2011, on the company's 2011 financial statements prepared under these new standards includes this Emphasis of Matter paragraph as the company is an exploration-stage enterprise and its liquidity is ultimately dependent on its ability to obtain necessary financing as required, developing or selling its exploration properties, and ultimately achieving profitable operations.
