Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd. (TSXV:BGM) (the
“
Company” or “
Barkerville”) is
pleased to announce additional drilling results from the 2017 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 Shaft Zone with seven 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-17-201: 104.5 g/t Au over 1.00 meter
- IM-17-215: 23.86 g/t Au over 6.65 meters
- IM-17-215: 12.16 g/t Au over 13.30 meters
- IM-17-226: 28.73 g/t Au over 4.45 meters
- IM-17-231: 24.76 g/t Au over 5.10 meters
The Company is pleased to report new
mineralization expansion from the ongoing drilling at Island
Mountain. Phase II drillhole IM-17-201 intersected 104.5 g/t Au
over 1.00 meter at a vertical depth of 10 meters from surface. This
new intersection is 40 meters up dip from previously modelled vein
corridor, therefore potentially extending this vein corridor near
surface.
IM-17-215 intersected 23.86 g/t over 6.65 meters
at a vertical depth of 400 meters from surface and, further down
hole, intersected 12.16 g/t Au over 13.30 meters at a vertical
depth of 570 meters from surface, demonstrating wide corridors at
depth. IM-17-215 represents one of the deepest intercepts to date,
drilling at these depths are widely spaced and untested at
depth. Additional drilling is warranted to expand this
mineralization.
Shaft Zone - Corridors
Discussion
Mineralized quartz veins at the Shaft Zone on
Island Mountain are hosted within the sandstones and are an
anastomosing network of high vein density with an overall
sub-vertical dip and northeast strike. Recent modelling of veins at
Shaft Zone proposes 50 mineralized vein corridors with an estimated
horizontal width of 3 meters and a strike length of up to 300
meters. 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 meters and remain open for expansion to depth
and down plunge. Drillhole spacing in the corridors currently
averages 25 meters between drilling sections with vertical drilling
separations ranging from 20 to 75 meters with hole spacing
increasing at 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.
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 1,950 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.
