[{"type":"text","content":"October 24th, 2018 / 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 mobilized crews to its Lac Gueret South Graphite Project located in Quebec for the execution of a Mise-A-La-Masse (\"MALM\") geophysical program. The primary contractor for execution of the survey is TMC Geophysics of Val-d'Or, QC, supported by people who were hired from the Manicouagan River area to help with the project. The program is utilising cut-lines prepared on the property in late September early October, 2018: the program is continuing in snowy conditions, but benefits from the excellent access previously prepared. MALM is an older EM technique that operates by placing a DC current electrode in a known, readily chargeable (conductive) horizon from a downhole location and tracing the electric current distribution via either on-surface or in-drillhole placed receivers. The survey being undertaken by Berkwood will charge several known conductive horizons from selected graphite intersections in the existing drill-holes, and will seek to trace the surface expression of current pathway(s) using surface based receivers. The MALM work is intended to improve the Company's understanding of how the graphite mineralization at its Lac Gueret Zone 1 discovery is distributed, and to help in extending the existing geological model (see 3D Model on home page www.berkwoodresources.com). The improved geological model is intended to inform targeting for a drill campaign that will enable the extension of the present model and the preparation of a resource report appropriate for public release. The existing trails prepared for drilling and the extensions to cut-lines previously released are being used to provide the access through the forest. Lac Gueret South Property, Quebec Lac Gueret South is located in Cote Nord, Quebec, a three-hour drive from Baie-Comeau in an area of very good infrastructure, such that the property is accessible by road year-round. The Project lies directly south of Mason Graphite's (TSX-LLG) advanced Lac Gueret Project. With a market capitalisation of over $120 million Mason owns one of the largest high grade graphite deposits in the world, and is planning on building a new graphite mine and processing plant.
