Update On Cariboo Exploration Projects

PRINCE GEORGE, BC - Barker Minerals Ltd. reported that during the 2016 season it has completed a number of recon geochemical work and regional evaluation programs on its extensive 100% owned property package in order to determine which target areas may host the most favorable economic potential. Recon exploration during 2016 included follow up programs of exploratory soil and rock sampling with XRF hand held analysis where results of previous programs demonstrated above normal levels of base metals and pathfinder minerals for gold and VMS deposits. The 2016 recon programs were also successful in identifying new target areas for follow up programs and in identifying extensions to known trends creating a broader database of geochemistry and geology in the various project areas. Federal and Provincial Government geological, geochemical and airborne geophysical programs, together with Barker’s exploration results to date, have helped enhance and affirm the Cariboo regions potential for district size gold and base metal potential. Barkerville Gold Mines (BGM TSX-V) and Spanish Mountain Gold’s ongoing exploration activities over the past few years have produced significant positive results which also confirm the district scale potential.
