Barksdale Initiates Phase II Drill Program
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 12, 2024) - Barksdale Resources Corp. (TSXV: BRO) (OTCQX: BRKCF) ("Barksdale" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has begun its Phase II drilling program at its Sunnyside project in Arizona. Alford Drilling has started drilling a series of reverse circulation pre-collars ahead of the arrival of a diamond drill that will complete the holes to their ultimate target depths. The Company will provide an additional update next week regarding the progress related to the first pre-collar hole.
Rick Trotman, President and CEO of Barksdale, says, "We are very excited to kick off the second phase of exploration drilling at Sunnyside. The new program will seek to find the extensions of the high-grade deep carbonate-hosted mineralization. Utilizing a reverse circulation rig to complete the initial pre-collars should allow us to significantly cut down on the amount of time necessary to hit the target carbonate host rocks and could also aid in cutting down on the cost of completing the overall program. We look forward to providing regular updates going forward on the overall progress of the drilling campaign."
Additionally, the Company has completed the first-year obligations related to the Sunnyside option agreement dated August 10, 2017. Pursuant to the agreement, Barksdale has made a cash payment of C$717,071 and released 3,850,000 escrowed common shares of the Company to Regal Resources, a non-public reporting issuer. Additionally, the Company's obligation to complete C$3,000,000 of work expenditures on the project has been met.
