[{"type":"text","content":"VANCOUVER, B.C. / TheNewswire / September 6th, 2017 - Berkwood Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: BKR, FSE: BK2, WKN: A110N3 USA: CZSVF) (\"Berkwood\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has substantially expanded its Lac Gueret Extensions project (South & East blocks). Owing to the success of its Phase 1 drill program since commencement, the Company decided to immediately acquire more claims adjacent to and on-trend with Mason Graphite. Berkwood has acquired a further two hundred and ninety five (295) claims in its Lac Gueret Extensions project (South & East blocks) region, to extend the previously held 3,942Ha (hectares) covered by 73 claims to a new total of 19,884Ha covered by 368 claims. The newly controlled claims were acquired by direct staking (95 claims, 5,122Ha) and by purchase of additional claims from Mr. Francois Marcotte, an experienced area prospector (200 claims, 10,820Ha). Shareholders can view the Company's entire land position in relation to Mason Graphite and other landholders at the Company's website, http://berkwoodresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/2017-Berkwood-Location-and-Neighbours-Map-Topo.pdf The newly acquired land parcels will be more fully described on the Company's web site in due course. Since the News Release of August 31st the Company has completed three further drill holes at its Lac Gueret South Graphite Project located in Quebec. To date ten drill holes, through BK1-17 to BK10-17, have been completed for a total of 1,360m drilled. Visual graphite has been intersected and confirmed in all ten to date. Drilling has now commenced on Section 3300E with BK1-11-17 established at Site #9, and is the first of six further planned holes. Hole BK1-07-17, co-located at Site #4 (section 3200E) with BK1-08-17 and drilled -45? to north with BK1-08-17 at -50? towards the south, allowed the Company to test the concept of the host structure being antiformal, as opposed to a synformal structure as initially inferred. The 142.34m BK1-07-17 returned graphite schist intercepts, notably over 18.5 - 19.58 (1.08m), 47.85 - 56.17 (8.82m) and 104.38 - 129.03 (24.65 m). Hole BK1-08-17 (187.75m to End of Hole, \"EOH\") returned graphitic intercepts from 1.94 - 14.78 (12.84m), 69.76 - 71.49 (2.23m), 90.15 - 97.10 (6.95 m), 139.42 - 177.04 (37.62m). Site #5, about 71 m south of Site #4, is the location o...
