Barkerville Gold hits high grades at Cariboo project

According to Mining News Pro - The company has had five drills working at the Island Mountain Shaft zone and Mosquito Creek deposit to test down dip extensions.

New results include 19.34 g/t gold over 17.9 meters in IM-19-013, extending a mineralized vein corridor on Shaft zone 70 meters down dip. The current mineralization on Mosquito Creek is modelled to a depth of 200 meters and recent high grade intercepts include 10.65 g/t gold over 4.2 meters in IM-19-004 at a depth of 375 meters from surface.

In June 2018, Barkerville released a 43-101 technical report that covered the maiden resource estimate for Cow Mountain and Island Mountain – including Cow, Valley, Shaft and Mosquito deposits – as well as an updated resource for Barkerville Mountain – Bonanza Ledge and BC Vein deposits. The numbers include the 3.7-km strike length from Cow Mountain to Island Mountain with a width of approximately 700 metres to a vertical depth of 600 metres below surface.

The total measured and indicated resource is 8.1 million tonnes grading 6.1 g/t gold for 1.6 million oz. The inferred resource is 12.7 million tonnes at 5.2 g/t for 2.2 million contained oz. of gold.
