Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd. (TSXV:BGM) (the
“
Company” or “
Barkerville”) is
pleased to announce additional drilling results from the ongoing
160,000 metre Phase II Island Mountain exploration and infill
drilling program at the Company’s flagship Cariboo Gold Project.
The Company is currently exploring and delineating the
Valley and Shaft Zones with nine drill rigs. Detailed drilling
results, a drill hole location plan map and vertical sections are
presented at the end of this release. The exact geometry and hence
true width of the mineralized zones cannot be assuredly concluded
at this time therefore core lengths are reported.
Drilling Highlights
- IM-17-177: 46.50 g/t Au over 6.00 metres
- IM-17-177: 14.02 g/t Au over 6.50 metres
- IM-17-177: 6.62 g/t Au over 11.00 metres
- IM-17-177: 9.38 g/t Au over 5.50 metres
- IM-17-179: 18.57 g/t Au over 2.85 metres
- IM-17-183: 35.69 g/t Au over 3.10 metres
- IM-17-195: 10.49 g/t Au over 4.90 metres
Alpha and Beta Corridors at Shaft Zone
Expand
Phase II Shaft Zone drillhole IM-17-177 was
successful in confirming short range continuity of the vein hosted
gold mineralization as well as expanding the modelled Alpha and
Beta Corridors. In the Beta Corridor, the hole predictably extended
mineralization along vein strike as well as downdip having
intersected 14.02 g/t Au over 6.50 metres at a
vertical depth of 370 metres below surface. This new intersection
correlates with previously reported drillholes IM-17-142 and
IM-17-173 which intersected 10.04 g/t Au over 8.20
metres and 7.70 g/t Au over 8.35 metres
respectively. Further up-hole in the Beta Corridor at a vertical
depth of 275 metres below surface, IM-17-177 also intersected
6.62 g/t Au over 11.00 metres and correlates with
Phase II drillhole IM-17-173 which averaged 10.82 g/t Au
over 8.60 metres, 25 metres along corridor strike. The
Beta Corridor remains open for expansion to depth.
In the Alpha Corridor, IM-17-177 significantly
expanded the known mineralization having pierced 46.50 g/t
Au over 6.00 metres. This new pierce point is located 130
metres southwest along vein strike from previously disclosed Phase
II drillhole IM-17-124 (18.84 g/t Au over 30.85
metres), at a vertical depth of 460 metres below surface.
This new intersection opens up a significant untested area of the
Alpha Corridor.
Shaft Zone - Corridors
Discussion
The sandstone hosted veining which constitutes
the newly named Alpha, Beta and Gamma Corridors of the Shaft Zone
are manifested as an anastomosing network of high vein density with
an overall sub-vertical dip and northeast strike. Based upon
drilling results to date, estimated horizontal widths of the
corridors are variable and range from 5 to 35 metres. These
corridors, as well as others that are developing in the Shaft and
Valley Zones have been defined from surface to a vertical depth of
600 metres and remain open for expansion to depth and down plunge.
Drillhole spacing in the corridors currently averages 25 metres
between drilling sections with vertical drilling separations
ranging from 20 to 75 metres with hole spacing increasing to depth.
Gold grades are intimately associated with vein-hosted pyrite as
well as pyritic, intensely silicified wall rock haloes in close
proximity to the veins.
Barkerville Enters into Agreement to Purchase Mineral
Tenures
The Company is also pleased to announce that it
has entered into an agreement to purchase an interest in 20 mineral
tenures located in British Columbia (the "Acquisition"). As
consideration for the purchase, the Corporation has agreed to pay
the vendor a cash purchase price of $500,000 and to issue the
vendor an aggregate of 1,100,000 common shares in the capital of
the Corporation ("Common Shares"). The Common Shares issuable in
connection with the Acquisition will be subject to a four-month
hold and one day period in accordance with applicable securities
legislation. The Acquisition remains subject to TSXV
approval.
Qualified Persons
Exploration activities at the Cariboo Gold
Project are administered on site by the Company’s Exploration
Manager, Maggie Layman, P.Geo. As per National Instrument 43-101
Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, Paul Geddes, P.Geo.
Vice President Exploration, is the Qualified Person for the Company
and has prepared, validated and approved the technical and
scientific content of this news release. The Company strictly
adheres to CIM Best Practices Guidelines in conducting,
documenting, and reporting its exploration activities on the
Cariboo Gold Project.
Quality Assurance – Quality
Control
Once received from the drill and processed, all
drill core samples are sawn in half, labelled and bagged. The
remaining drill core is subsequently stored on site at the
Company’s secure facility in Wells, BC. Numbered security
tags are applied to lab shipments for chain of custody
requirements. The Company inserts quality control (QC)
samples at regular intervals in the sample stream, including blanks
and reference materials with all sample shipments to monitor
laboratory performance. The QAQC program was designed and approved
by Lynda Bloom, P.Geo. of Analytical Solutions Ltd., and is
overseen by the Company’s Qualified Person, Paul Geddes, P.Geo,
Vice President Exploration.
Drill core samples are submitted to ALS
Geochemistry’s analytical facility in North Vancouver, British
Columbia for preparation and analysis. The ALS facility is
accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard for gold assays and all
analytical methods include quality control materials at set
frequencies with established data acceptance criteria. The entire
sample is crushed and 250 grams is pulverized. Analysis for gold is
by 50g fire assay fusion with atomic absorption (AAS) finish with a
lower limit of 0.01 ppm and upper limit of 100 ppm. Samples with
gold assays greater than 100 ppm are re-analyzed using a 1,000g
screen metallic fire assay. A selected number of samples are also
analyzed using a 48 multi-elemental geochemical package by a 4-acid
digestion, followed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission
Spectroscopy (ICP-AES) and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass
Spectroscopy (ICP-MS).

About Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd.
The Company is focused on developing its
extensive land package located in the historical Cariboo Mining
District of central British Columbia. Barkerville’s mineral tenures
cover 2,110 square kilometres along a strike length of 67
kilometres which includes several past producing hard rock mines of
the historic Barkerville Gold Mining Camp near the town of Wells,
British Columbia. The QR Project, located approximately 110
kilometres by highway and all weather road from Wells was acquired
by Barkerville in 2010 and boasts a fully permitted 900 tonne/day
gold milling and tailings facility. Test mining of the Bonanza
Ledge open pit was completed in March of 2015 with 91,489 tonnes of
material milled producing 25,464 ounces of gold. The Company has
completed several drilling and exploration programs over the past
20 years and has compiled this data with all historical information
in order develop geologic models which are assisting management in
defining new deposits in the Cariboo Gold Project. An extensive
drill program is currently underway with the goal of delineating
additional high grade gold mineralization.
