[{"type":"text","content":"Barksdale Presents Positive Initial Geochemical and Geophysical Results at SunnysideVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 30, 2019 / Barksdale Capital Corp. (\"Barksdale\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV: BRO)(OTCQB: BRKCF) is pleased to report initial results from its ongoing exploration programs (the \"Program\") at its Sunnyside property, located in southern Arizona, adjacent to South32's Taylor-Hermosa development project. To date, the Program has focused on the northeast quarter of the 5,223-acre Sunnyside project, where the known extension of the Taylor-Hermosa zinc-lead-silver-copper deposit continues onto Barksdale ground. This is a priority zone for Barksdale as it sits within the footprint of the Company's proposed drilling plans that have been submitted to the US Forest Service for permit approval.Surface CampaignBarksdale's team completed detailed mapping (1:6,000 scale) and extensive rock chip sampling (1,904 samples) in the northern portion of the Sunnyside property during 2018. The surface campaign has identified multiple prominent mineralized structural zones around the periphery of the Sunnyside porphyry complex, which was partially defined by various ASARCO drilling campaigns in the 1960's through 1980's. Inpidual assays from the Barksdale Program returned select high-grade results of up to, and including, 15.75% copper, 19.15 g/t gold, 440 g/t silver, 6.54% lead, and 0.73% zinc, respectively. Comprehensive geochemical plots of copper, gold, silver, lead and zinc can be found at the end of this press release (Figures 1 through 5).Geochemical data is currently being analyzed and further evaluated using geostatistical modeling software, such that project scale metal zoning patterns can be established at Sunnyside. These models will be updated as additional surface sampling is completed in 2019, which will likely see the sampling campaign extended over the remainder of the Sunnyside property. Barksdale believes that these mineralized structures likely represent leakage from larger mineralized bodies at depth and will use these data to generate drill targets once the ongoing program are completed.Geophysical SurveysAdditionally, the Company initiated an initial 7-10 line-kilometer natural source audio magneto-telluric survey (\"NSAMT\") in October 2018, the purpose of which was to gain subsurface structural data as well a...
