Sunnyside Project Program Shows Significant Mineralization

VANCOUVER  - Barksdale Resources Corp. reported confirmation of high-grade polymetallic sulfide mineralization in drill hole SUN24-002B, as introduced in Barksdale's news release dated December 12, 2024. The results show impressive grades of up to 3.1% copper, 842 g/t silver, 5.5% zinc, and 7.6% lead, in a series of stacked sulfide-rich horizons.

Polymetallic sulfide mineralization and pervasive siderite alteration spans a broad zone of approximately 100 metres, from a depth of 1270.8m to 1371.4m (100.6m) where the hole was lost. The high-grade horizons vary in width from less than 1 metre to over 10 metres, showcasing the potential for significant mineralization at the Sunnyside Project. Chalcopyrite, galena, and sphalerite are the major components of the semi-massive sulfides, with notable amounts of silver and bismuth also present.

"The high-grade polymetallic mineralization and pervasive alteration looks like the exhaust stream from the kind of major, very long-lived carbonate replacement deposit (CRD) system we know sits next door and probably right below where the hole was lost," said Dr. Peter Megaw, Exploration Advisor. "The broad, repeatedly activated structure channeled astonishing amounts of mineralizing fluids and should be followed a little deeper into what we know to be the most favourable carbonate sequence in Arizona."
