Barkerville Gold Announces Drill Results from Island Mountain Exploration

Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd. (TSXV:BGM)  announced additional drilling results from the 50,000-meter 2018 Island Mountain exploration and delineation program at the company’s flagship Cariboo Gold project. The infill drilling results continue to demonstrate continuity and expansion of modelled vein corridors.

Highlights are as follows:

• IM-18-033: 16.96 g/t over 9.30 meters
• IM-18-038: 12.54 g/t over 18.2 meters
• IM-18-038: 17.91 g/t over 5.65 meters
• IM-18-039: 22.87 g/t over 5.85 meters
• IM-18-041: 36.41 g/t over 4.30 meters
• IM-18-046: 27.41 g/t over 4.35 meters

Vein Zone Continuity on Island Mountain

The intervals noted above were intersected in holes designed to infill and expand known vein corridors on the property down to depths of 500 meters. The program consisted of 50,000 meters drilled in 162 holes, mainly in the shaft zone area. Mineralized quartz veins on the Cariboo Gold project are hosted within the sandstones and are an anastomosing network of high vein density with an overall sub-vertical dip and northeast strike. Recent modelling of the vein corridors Island Mountain proposes 101 mineralized vein corridors. These vein corridors have estimated horizontal width of 3 meters and a strike length of up to 300 meters. These corridors have been defined from surface to a vertical depth of 600 meters and remain open for expansion at depth and down plunge. Gold grades are intimately associated with vein-hosted pyrite as well as pyritic, intensely silicified wall rock haloes in close proximity to the veins.
