(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. These latest results have expanded the footprint of the Cerro Verde copper zone to the south and west.Drilling Highlights: Drilling results received from holes SJ21-31 and SJ21-35 continue to confirm and expand the footprint of the Cerro Verde zone. Key results include 48 meters of 0.54% copper from 90-135 meters (SJ21-31) and 15 meters of 0.35% copper from 45-60 meters (SJ21-35). Additionally, hole SJ21-31 intercepted a thick interval of oxide gold mineralization 36 meters grading 1.11 g/t gold from 27-63 meters depth, including 15 meters grading 1.71 g/t gold from 30-45 meters depth. These results have extended the gold bearing portion at Cerro Verde by approximately 70 meters to the south. Rick Trotman, President and CEO of Barksdale commented: \"The additional holes from the Phase I drilling program continue to yield impressive copper and gold intercepts. The step out hole on the western flank of Cerro Verde has extended mineralization to the west and the SJ21-36 confirms that the copper zone extends to the south. Additionally, the oxide gold zone was extended to the south by SJ21-31, which encountered a very encouraging oxide gold intercept. Delivering these results in this copper and gold environment is very exciting and we look forward to continuing to push this asset forward.\"Drill Hole DiscussionHole SJ21-31 (Figure 1) was designed to test the extension of high-grade gold and/or copper mineralization encountered in hole SJ21-04 and SJ21-29 (see the press release dated October 25, 2021). The drill hole successfully intercepted a shallow oxide gold interval consisting of 36 meters grading 1.11 g/t gold, beginning at 27 meters. This extends the gold zone by approximately 70 meters to the south. Hole SJ21-31 also intercepted a thick copper oxide interval containing 0.54% copper over 48 meters from 90 meters depth. The hole ended in sulfide mineralization grading 0.54% copper over the final 3-meters of...
