VANCOUVER, Aug. 6, 2019 /CNW/ - Barsele Minerals Corp. – (TSXV: BME) (\"Barsele\") is pleased to report an operational update for the ongoing exploration program within the Barsele Gold-VMS Project area in Västerbottens Län, Northern Sweden (the \"Barsele Project\"). The exploration program is being operated by joint venture partner Agnico Eagle Mines Limited – (TSX, NYSE: AEM) (\"Agnico Eagle\"). Ownership in the Barsele Project is 55% Agnico Eagle and 45% Barsele. Agnico Eagle can earn an additional 15% in the Barsele Project through the completion of a pre-feasibility study. There is no cash outlay requirement by Barsele until a pre-feasibility study is completed. Diamond drilling for the first six months of 2019 totals 7,390 metres in 30 completed core holes. Since late 2015, a total of 142,531 metres of overburden penetration and core collection has been tabulated from a total of 341 drill holes. Results from 20 drill holes are presented in this news release. The pursuit of volcanogenic massive sulphide (\"VMS\") mineralization within the Barsele Project area is ongoing, with Agnico Eagle applying a combination of geological, structural, geochemical and geophysical techniques to facilitate the pursuit. Each hole drilled adds to the knowledge-base and the drill core observations and analytical results, assist in vectoring toward the potential of a new discovery. The 2019 drilling results included in this news release have been principally focused on \"regional VMS targets\" along with some \"Orogenic gold\" target testing throughout the 47,000-hectare property. One regional hole was drilled at Skirliden (SKL18008), plus three regional VMS holes at Skiråsen (SKI18009, SKI18010, SKI19001), plus three regional holes at Avan (AVA19001, AVA19002, AVA19003), plus one regional hole at Central (CNT19001), plus four regional holes at Norra (NOR19001, NOR19002, NOR19003, NOR19004). In addition, there have been eight Valida...
