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

Vancouver BC, May 30, 2013: In the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2013, filed on sedar on May 27, 2013, the auditor's report contained a paragraph titled Emphasis of Matter in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and PCAOB (United States) auditing standards.

The report from the Auditors stated: “Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2b to these financial statements, which states the Company 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 2b, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2b. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty”.

Note 2b states in part that “the Company is a resource company, and must incur expenses during the process of exploring and evaluating a mineral property to prove the commercial viability of the ore body, a necessary step in the process of developing a property to the production stage. Without a producing property, the Company does not have a current source of revenue from operations. The Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and has an accumulated deficit. The ability of the Company to continue as a going-concern depends upon its ability to continue to raise adequate financing and to develop profitable operations in the future. The Company is taking measures to reduce corporate overhead and, subsequent to fiscal year end, has announced a private placement. However, neither of these are necessary for the Company to meet its current obligations. There are uncertainties related to events that give rise to substantial doubt as to whether or not the Company can continue as a going concern. The Company's initial application for a British Columbia Environment Assessment Certificate, a necessary, but not the only, step in the process of the development of the Morrison property was denied. The Company has petitioned the British Columbia Supreme Court to set aside this decision.’’

At fiscal year end, the Company reported approximately $1.93 million in working capital, which is sufficient to meet our current liabilities for at least one year.
