[{"type":"text","content":"Barksdale Intercepts 105m of 0.63% Copper and 0.40 g/t Gold from its Initial Drill Program at San JavierVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 25, 2021 / Barksdale Resources Corp. (\"Barksdale\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV:BRO) (OTCQX:BRKCF) is pleased to announce the first drill results from the current 5,000-meter core drilling program at the San Javier copper-gold project, located in Sonora, Mexico.Initial results from recently completed core holes included within this release have been received from the Cerro Verde zone where the current drilling has tested gaps between historically intercepted mineralization. The first two holes intersected broad near surface zones of oxide copper and gold mineralization that included the following highlights:Hole SJ21-04 intersected 38.5m grading 0.38% copper and 0.38 g/t gold (60.5m - 99.0m), as well as a second zone consisting of 51m grading 0.32% copper and 0.29 g/t gold (117m - 168m). Between and slightly overlapping with these two zones was a third zone of gold-dominant mineralization which included 27 meters of 1.97 g/t (93 - 120m). Assay results from the first 60.5m surface interval have not yet been received, as it was drilled with PQ-sized core (85mm) and is currently being processed as part of a metallurgical column testing program. Logging of this upper interval indicates the presence of strong visual oxide copper occurrences. Copper and gold assay results from this surface interval are expected in due course.Hole SJ21-05 intersected 105m grading 0.63% copper and 0.40 g/t gold (66m - 171m). This includes intervals of higher grades such as 15m of 1.01% copper (90m - 105m) and 9m of 1.57% copper and 2.20 g/t gold (122m - 131m). Additionally, two wide zones of gold mineralization were encountered including 21m of 0.55 g/t gold (42m - 63m), as well as 18m of 1.77 g/t gold and 0.97% copper (117m - 135m). The copper and gold zones indicate good continuity with drill hole SJ21-04, as well as previous historic drill intercepts.Rick Trotman, President and CEO of Barksdale commented: \"We are very thrilled by the initial results at San Javier, which confirm that the Cerro Verde zone contains thick zones of both copper and gold-bearing oxides at shallow depths. All 24 holes drilled to date from this program have intersected visual copper mineralization, at varying levels of intensity. We expec...
