[{"type":"text","content":"Berkwood Acquires Additional Claims Covering New Graphite Showing on the Lac Gueret East Graphite Property, Quebec(via Thenewswire.ca)\n \n \nBerkwood Resources Ltd. (TSX.V:BKR) (\"Berkwood\" or \"the Company\"), is pleased to announce that it has acquired, through staking, additional contiguous ground immediately to the north of its Lac Gueret East Graphite property located in northeastern Quebec. The newly acquired claims will be added to the current 59 contiguous claim (3,186 ha) Lac Gueret East Graphite Property where during the fall 2012 exploration program the first Graphite bearing zone on the Property was discovered. \n\n \n \nThe newly acquired claims comprise 4 blocks, (216 ha total) located to the north, and adjacent to the original Lac Gueret East Graphite property (see appended maps http://www.berkwoodresources.com/lac-gueret-maps.html). The claims cover a reported (MRNQ, 2013_031) graphite showing discovered in 2011 during geological mapping by Geologie Quebec government geologists. They describe the showing as a metre-thick, graphite paragneiss interlayered with calc-silicates and pyroxenite in a graphite-garnet paragneiss. The graphite mineralization is described as massive with elevated Cgr (Carbon as Graphite) values. \n\n \n \nBrian Buchanan, President and Director of Berkwood commented: \"We are pleased to have enhanced our evolving graphite exploration property east of the significant Mason Graphite discoveries. This area of Quebec is known for high purity, large flake graphite and has been identified as an ideal geological setting towards achieving our graphite exploration goals.\"\n\n \n \nAbout Lac Gueret East Graphite Property \n\n \n \nBerkwood's 3402 Ha Lac Gueret East Graphite Property borders the eastern boundary of Mason Graphite's advanced Lac Gueret Property which has a NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate with measured & indicated mineral resources of approximately 7.6 million tonnes grading 20.40% Cgr.
