BGM Intersects 17.55 G/T Au Over 6.20 Metres at Valley Zone

21.06.2017  |  CNW

Veining Corridors Continue to Expand

TORONTO, June 21, 2017 /CNW/ - Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd. (TSXV: BGM) (the "Company" or "Barkerville") is pleased to announce additional drilling results from the ongoing 130,000 metre Phase II Island Mountain exploration drilling program at the Company's flagship Cariboo Gold Project. The Company is currently exploring and delineating the Valley Zone with four drill rigs.  Detailed drilling results, a drill hole location plan map, vertical section and longitudinal section are presented at the end of this release.

Drilling Highlights:

  • CM-17-021: 10.77 g/t Au over 5.90 metres
  • CM-17-025: 17.55 g/t Au over 6.20 metres
  • CM-17-044: 5.44 g/t Au over 13.95 metres

The geometry and hence true width of the mineralized zones cannot be assuredly concluded at this time and as such, core lengths are reported.

Veining Corridors Continue to Expand

Phase II drillhole CM-17-021 has intersected two new veining occurrences at vertical depths of 125 and 145 metres vertically below surface grading 9.32 g/t Au over 4.15 metres and 10.77 g/t Au over 5.90 metres respectively. Located on the southeastern strike of the Valley Zone, drillhole CM-17-025 intersected a new occurrence grading 17.55 g/t Au over 6.20 metres, 75 metres vertically below surface. As well, drillhole CM-17-044 discovered additional new veining occurrences in a broad corridor grading 5.44 g/t Au over 13.95 metres 54 metres below surface.

"We are seeing repeated success with targeting and intercepting mineralized vein systems across our current drilling program areas." Kyle Orr, Senior Geologist with BGM commented.  "These latest results provide more evidence that the Cow Mountain and Island Mountain areas are connected through continuous, high grade gold mineralization in the Valley Zone."

About the Phase II Program

The 130,000 metre 2017 Phase II exploratory and delineation drill program on Island Mountain is intended to determine the extent of the vein systems that were historically never explored, and is aimed at discovering new vein systems and sulphide replacement bodies that will ultimately inform a maiden resource at Island Mountain. Four drill rigs are currently delineating additional mineralization below and on strike from the former Aurum and Cariboo Gold Quartz Mines which have never been explored since mining operations ceased circa 1967. Three rigs are testing down dip mineralization on Cow Mountain and in the Valley Zone. One rig is drilling new targets identified in 2016 located on Barkerville Mountain.

Qualified Persons

Exploration activities at the Cariboo Gold Project are administered on site by the Company's Exploration Manager, Maggie Layman, P.Geo. As per National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, Paul Geddes, P.Geo. Vice President Exploration, is the Qualified Person for the Company and has prepared, validated and approved the technical and scientific content of this news release. The Company strictly adheres to CIM Best Practices Guidelines in conducting, documenting, and reporting its exploration activities on the Cariboo Gold Project.

Quality Assurance – Quality Control

Once received from the drill and processed, all drill core samples are sawn in half, labelled and bagged.  The remaining drill core is subsequently stored on site at the Company's secure facility in Wells, BC.  Numbered security tags are applied to lab shipments for chain of custody requirements.  The Company inserts quality control (QC) samples at regular intervals in the sample stream, including blanks and reference materials with all sample shipments to monitor laboratory performance. The QAQC program was designed and approved by Lynda Bloom, P.Geo. of Analytical Solutions Ltd., and is overseen by the Company's Qualified Person, Paul Geddes, P.Geo, Vice President Exploration.

Drill core samples are submitted to ALS Geochemistry's analytical facility in North Vancouver, British Columbia for preparation and analysis. The ALS facility is accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard for gold assays and all analytical methods include quality control materials at set frequencies with established data acceptance criteria. The entire sample is crushed and 250 grams is pulverized. Analysis for gold is by 50g fire assay fusion with atomic absorption (AAS) finish with a lower limit of 0.01 ppm and upper limit of 100 ppm. Samples with gold assays greater than 100 ppm are re-analyzed using a 1,000g screen metallic fire assay. A selected number of samples are also analyzed using a 48 multi-elemental geochemical package by a 4-acid digestion, followed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES) and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS).

About Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd.

The Company is focused on developing its extensive land package located in the historical Cariboo Mining District of central British Columbia. Barkerville's mineral tenures cover 2,110 square kilometres along a strike length of 67 kilometres which includes several past producing hard rock mines of the historic Barkerville Gold Mining Camp near the town of Wells, British Columbia. The QR Project, located approximately 110 kilometres by highway and all weather road from Wells was acquired by Barkerville in 2010 and boasts a fully permitted 900 tonne/day gold milling and tailings facility. Test mining of the Bonanza Ledge open pit was completed in March of 2015 with 91,489 tonnes of material milled producing 25,464 ounces of gold. The Company has completed several drilling and exploration programs over the past 20 years and has compiled this data with all historical information in order develop geologic models which are assisting management in defining new deposits in the Cariboo Gold Project. An extensive drill program is currently underway with the goal of delineating additional high grade gold mineralization.
