Round One Of Phase II Drilling At Sunnyside Property

VANCOUVER – Barksdale Resources Corp. has completed the first round of the Phase II drill program at the Sunnyside Property in Southern Arizona. A total of 6,000 feet was completed in six holes utilizing two drill platforms over the 20-day shift. Five of the six planned holes reached planned target depths, except for hole SUN26-004R that encountered a strong clay zone and was terminated at 80 feet.
“The initial Phase II holes have tested the near surface copper mineralization identified by ASARCO’s “BB and TM” hole drill programs completed in the 1990s,” said CEO William Wulftange. “Drill chip logging noted the presence of chalcopyrite, covellite and chalcocite in altered feldspar porphyry within all four drill holes logged to date.”
