Barksdale Resources Corp.

Overview

Barksdale Resources (TSXV:BRO,OTCQX:BRKCF) is a Canadian exploration company focused on the acquisition and exploration of highly prospective mineral properties in Arizona and Mexico. The company’s assets are centered in high-value mining districts where discovery and future consolidation potential is strong. Barksdale has spent years developing a loyal following, including key shareholders such as Teck Resources (TSX:TECK.A,NYSE:TECK) and Osisko Development Corp (TSX:ODV).

Barksdale’s flagship asset is the Sunnyside project, within a portfolio of five projects located in the Patagonia mining district of southern Arizona, which has seen a significant mineral discovery as well as US$1.6 billion of M&A since 2018. Following years of consolidation, Barksdale is now the second largest mineral claim holder in the area behind South32 (ASX:S32), and controls five projects including Sunnyside, San Antonio, Four Metals, Goat Canyon and Canelo. Barksdale has received the exploration permit for San Antonio, and is actively advancing exploration drill permits so that it can fully explore its Sunnyside project, where the company hosts a large copper porphyry and the extension of South32’s Taylor deposit.

Barksdale has completed its first drilling campaign at San Javier, an advanced copper-gold project in central Sonora, Mexico. In 2022, the company released an initial resource estimate at Cerro Verde as part of the San Javier copper-gold project, which includes 419 million pounds of contained copper within measured and indicated categories, strategically located near existing infrastructure in the mining-friendly state of Sonora. The project is located within a kilometer of both the national highway and power grid and is less than a two-hour drive from the state capital of Hermosillo.

With over $10 million worth of historical work including 30,000 meters of drilling conducted, Barksdale is now in the process of updating the resource estimate and a subsequent PEA to fast-track the San Javier project.
