Barkerville intersects 13.03 g/t Au over 9.10 metres at Island Mountain

Barkerville Gold Mines (TSXV:BGM) has announced final results from its 2016 Phase I Island Mountain and Barkerville Mountain KL Zone exploration programs together with first rerults from the 2017 drilling at its Cariboo Gold Project.
As quoted in the press release:

All outstanding 2016 drill results have now been received for the 27,131 metre Phase I exploratory drilling program on Island Mountain and the first pass of widely spaced drilling on the KL Zone gold in soil anomaly located on Barkerville Mountain. Drilling results and drill hole location plan maps are presented at the end of this release.
Island Mountain Drilling
The recently initiated 2017 Phase II exploration drilling program on Island Mountain is currently being performed with six drill rigs on widely spaced 100 metre drill centres and infill dice-five drill patterns in the recently discovered “Shaft Zone”. Discovered by way of the 2016 Phase I program, the Shaft Zone is defined by a series of previously undrilled vertically dipping vein sets occurring immediately footwall to the historic Aurum Mine development. Phase II drillhole IM-17-004 intersected multiple auriferous veins in this new area including 13.03 g/t Au over 9.10 metres, 11.48 g/t Au over 3.30 metres, 67.82 g/t Au over 2.90 metres and 72.80 g/t Au over 0.50 metres ranging from the near surface to -350 metres vertical depth. Additional veining was also intersected in the Shaft Zone by drillhole BGM-16-551: 9.22 g/t Au over 2.85 metres and 27.50 g/t Au over 1.00 metres as well as drillhole BGM-16-591 which intersected 6.97 g/t Au over 4.40 metres. In addition, stratigraphic drillhole BGM-16-515 intersected 9.61 g/t Au over 2.20 metres in new footwall veins.
KL ZoneDrilling
The KL Zone is located on the southeastern flank of Barkerville Mountain and is defined by a previously undrilled 800 metre long gold in soil anomaly. As part of the first pass of exploratory drilling in this new area, ten drillholes totaling 2,621 metres tested the anomaly at widely spaced 100 metre centres and encountered wide zones of intense silicification. Significant KL intersections include BGM-16-561: 21.09 g/t Au over 1.10 metres and BGM-16-590: 10.21 g/t Au over 2.00 metres.
