[{"type":"text","content":"Barksdale Intercepts 15m of 1.74% Copper, 15m of 1.46% Copper, and 67m of 0.59% Copper at San Javier in Sonora, MexicoVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 16, 2021 / Barksdale Resources Corp. (\"Barksdale\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV:BRO) (OTCQX:BRKCF) is pleased to announce completion of the Phase I, 5,000-meter drilling program at the Cerro Verde zone, San Javier project Sonora, Mexico as well as the latest assay results from 16 additional drill holes. Importantly, all 36 drill holes from the current program have intersected various concentrations of visually apparent copper mineralization and each of the 16 drill holes discussed in this press release have assay-confirmed intercepts of copper mineralization above a 0.20% copper cut-off grade. These latest results continue to confirm continuity of drilled mineralization, as well as expansion of the oxide copper footprint.Drilling Highlights:Barksdale's inaugural 5,000m drilling program at Cerro Verde has successfully concluded with all 36 holes encountering copper mineralization (assay confirmed and visually estimated from core logging).Drilling has continued to confirm and expand the footprint of the Cerro Verde zone with key results including significant near-surface oxide mineralization including 57m grading 0.74% copper from surface (SJ21-09), which included a 15m intercept of 1.74% copper from 12-27m. Additional shallow oxide intercepts include 15m grading 1.47% copper from surface (SJ21-07), and 66m grading 0.49% copper (SJ21-15).Step-outs from the Cerro Verde footprint of mineralization include 12m grading 0.85% copper from 6-18m and 12m grading 0.54% copper from 33-45 (both from SJ21-08) as well as 12m of 0.45% copper from 30-42m (SJ21-18).Rick Trotman, President and CEO of Barksdale commented: \"This is a great follow-up to the initial holes that we announced in mid-October. Not only has the team demonstrated the robust nature of the supergene copper zone but we are now starting to see the results of some of the step out holes that show that Cerro Verde's footprint still has room to grow. With 15 drill holes still at the assay laboratory, including our last batch of samples which was submitted during the first week of December, we anticipate additional results to be announced during January and potentially into early February.\"Geology DiscussionIron oxide copper gold ...
