INFILL DRILLING INTERSECTS 13.07 G/T AU OVER 12.00 METERS ON ISLAND MOUNTAIN

.

Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd. {TSX.V: BGM} has released additional drilling results from the 50,000-metre 2018 Island Mountain exploration and delineation program at the company’s flagship Cariboo gold project. Detailed drilling results are presented in the table. The infill drilling results continue to demonstrate continuity and expansion of modelled vein corridors.

Drilling highlights

  • IM-18-048: 22.69 grams per tonne gold over 2.20 metres, including 37.00 g/t Au over 0.90 m;
  • IM-18-049: 69.90 g/t Au over 0.90 m;
  • IM-18-053: 392.00 g/t Au over 0.50 m;
  • IM-18-055: 19.37 g/t Au over 2.50 m, including 79.30 g/t Au over 0.50 m;
  • IM-18-056: 23.95 g/t Au over 2.10 m;
  • IM-18-057: 13.07 g/t Au over 12.00 m, including 16.95 g/t Au over 1.00 m, 44.70 g/t Au over 0.55 m and 66.50 g/t over 1.20 m;
  • IM-18-060: 12.60 g/t Au over 12.50 m, including 24.50 g/t Au over 1.50 m and 30.80 g/t Au over 1.00 m;
  • IM-18-060: 172.50 g/t Au over 0.50 m with visible gold observed in quartz veins.

Vein zone continuity on Island Mountain

The intervals noted above were intersected in holes designed to infill and expand mineralized vein corridors on Island Mountain down to depths of 500 m. The program consisted of 50,000 m drilled in 162 holes, drilled in the Shaft zone and Mosquito Creek on Island Mountain. Mineralised quartz veins on the Cariboo gold project are hosted within the sandstones and are a network of high vein density with an overall subvertical dip and northeast strike. These corridors have been defined from surface to a vertical depth of 600 m and remain open for expansion at depth and down plunge. 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 project geologists, Kyle Orr and Felipe Castaneda. As per National Instrument 43-101, Maggie Layman, PGeo, 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 Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum 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, B.C. Numbered security tags are applied to lab shipments for chain of custody requirements. The company inserts quality control samples at regular intervals in the sample stream, including blanks and reference materials, with all sample shipments to monitor laboratory performance. The QA/QC program was designed and approved by Lynda Bloom, PGeo, of Analytical Solutions Ltd., and is overseen by Ms. Layman.
