[{"type":"text","content":"December 8th 2017 / TheNewswire / VANCOUVER, B.C. Berkwood Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: BKR, FSE: BK2, WKN: A110N3) (\"Berkwood\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has completed the first hole of the Phase 2 drill program on Berkwood's Zone 1 Graphite Body. Management is very pleased to report that the Company has drilled a massive Graphite intercept of over 70 meters in length and close to surface. Berkwood's Phase 2 drill program on the Zone 1 Graphite Body was targeted based on the Phase 1 drill program's successful results whereby the Company demonstrated average Graphite grades in the range of 14.39 to 25.52% Cgr and true thicknesses ranging 22.1 to 40.3 m. (see the news release dated November 28th, 2017 ) This Phase 2 drill program is designed to delineate the size and geometry of this Graphite body The Zone 1 Graphite Body is a very large conductive and magnetic system with a 2.2 km east-west strike length and 0.6 km width. It shows two parallel zones that may be a large-scale fold. The Phase 1 drill program on Berkwood's Zone 1 Graphite Body focused on only a small western portion of the geophysical anomaly. The Company was waiting for the Phase One drill program assay results to determine if a Phase 2 drill program would commence on the Zone 1 Graphite Body, as well as determine the best location to commence the Phase 2 drill program. Significant exploration risk has been mitigated with the assays on the Phase 1 drill program. That, and the fact that most of the anomaly has not been drill tested, increases Zone 1 as a priority area. Phase 2 drilling started on Berkwood's Zone 1 Graphite Body, with BK1-14-17 on 4 December 2017. The planned series of holes are located around Section 3100E, which had the best graphite intersections in the Phase 1 program. The Phase 2 drill program has started with a series of eight drill holes planned across the previous north trend to delimit the structures and use a core orientation system to define the actual foliation strikes and dips. These will be completed by December 19th, 2017. The first hole was successful in intersecting a key zone found in the Phase 1 drilling. The hole was sited about 40 m east of Site #2 where holes BK1-03-17 and BK1-04-17 drilled to the north intersected significant graphite intervals as previously reported with analyses. BK1-14-17 was drilled to ...
