[{"type":"text","content":"Barksdale Intercepts 15m of 1.48% Copper and 21m of 0.61% Copper at San Javier in Sonora, MexicoVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 26, 2022) - Barksdale Resources Corp. (TSXV: BRO) (OTCQX: BRKCF) (\"Barksdale\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce additional assay results from its Phase I, 5,000-meter drilling program at the Cerro Verde zone on the San Javier project in Sonora, Mexico. The latest results from San Javier have expanded the footprint of the Cerro Verde copper zone to the west.Drilling Highlights: Drilling results received from holes SJ21-30, SJ21-32, SJ21-33 and SJ21-34 continue to confirm and expand the footprint of the Cerro Verde zone. Key results include 21 meters of 0.61% copper and 0.28 g/t gold from 54-75m (SJ21-30), 15 meters grading 1.48% copper from 153-168 meters (SJ21-30), 12 meters grading 0.80% copper from 75 to 87 meters (SJ21-032), and 66 meters grading 0.33% copper from 99-165 meters (SJ21-32). Additionally, hole SJ21-30 intercepted multiple intervals of oxide gold mineralization including 21m grading 0.47 g/t gold from 36 meters depth, 6 meters grading 1.90 g/t gold from 87 meters depth, and 9 meters grading 1.12 g/t gold from 117 - 126 meters depth. Rick Trotman, President and CEO of Barksdale commented: \"Although we faced delays due to laboratory issues, the long-awaited final results from our phase I drilling program at San Javier have not disappointed. Two additional holes on the western flank of Cerro Verde have intercepted broad zones of mineralization further to the west, while hole SJ21-32 has confirmed copper mineralization in addition to further extending oxide gold. We now look forward to completing an initial mineral resource estimate at Cerro Verde while planning the next phase of exploration. This will likely include targets at the La Trinidad and Mesa Grande prospects.\"Drill Hole DiscussionHole SJ21-30 (Figure 1) was designed to add additional confidence within the Cerro Verde zone while providing opportunities to expand the shallow gold oxide zones encountered in nearby holes. The drill hole intersected multiple intervals that successfully extended oxide gold mineralization to the south including: 21 meters grading 0.47 g/t gold, 9 meters grading 1.11 g/t gold, and 9 meters grading 1.9 g/t gold, among others. Additionally, multiple copper oxide zones were ...
