[{"type":"text","content":"VANCOUVER, Feb. 9, 2017 /CNW/ - Barsele Minerals Corp. – (TSX-V: BME) (\"Barsele\") is pleased to report a ninth operational progress update for the current exploration program within the Barsele Au-VMS Project area in Västerbottens Län, northern Sweden. The exploration program is being operated by joint venture partner Agnico Eagle Mines Limited – (TSX, NYSE: AEM) (\"Agnico Eagle\"). Ownership in the project is 55% Agnico Eagle and 45% Barsele. During the month of December, four machines continued diamond drilling until the Christmas break, with two validation and four conversion holes completed within and along the trend of the Avan, Central and Skiråsen zones. Highlight conversion hole SKI16013 yielded 26.00 meters core length (estimated 19.50 meters true thickness) grading 4.00 g/t gold uncut (1.65 g/t gold cut) at a midpoint depth of 120 meters below surface, plus 46.00 meters core length (estimated 35.00 meters true thickness) grading 1.96 g/t gold at a midpoint depth of 205 meters below surface. In addition, validation hole AVA16022 cut 2.50 meters core length (estimated 2.00 meters true thickness) containing polymetallic quartz veins grading 2.87 g/t gold, 286.00 g/t silver, 2.67% lead, 0.62% zinc. During December, 3,045 meters were drilled, for a cumulative total of 39,111 meters in 85 holes, since October 2015. That month, there were 2,462 core samples sent for analysis, with 3,823 core assay results received. Basal till sampling results have been received. There were 129 basal till samples and 135 top of outcrop samples submitted for analysis. The analytical results indicate that the gold mineralization most likely continues between the Central and Avan zones and there is a possibility for additional parallel gold zones to the southwest of Avan and Skiråsen. Barsele's President, Gary Cope states, \"The basal till sampling results are very encouraging, and we look forward to future drill testing of these areas. We continue to be encouraged with the drilling results and we look forward to the upcoming Resource Estimate.\" Highlight Results from the December 2016 Reporting Period Hole Category From (m) To (m) Core Length (m) True Thickness (m) Au (g/t) Top-Cappedat 20 g/tAu (g/t) AVA16019 Validation 149.00 152.85 3.85 3.50 1.19 AVA16020 Validation Assay...
