Barksdale Resources Corp. provided a corporate update for the ongoing drill program at the Sunnyside copper-lead-zinc-silver exploration project in Arizona. SUN-003 has crossed into the Paleozoic carbonate package at 1,237 meters and is continuing to the targeted depth of approximately 1,800 meters.

The blind discovery of these zones is quite exciting. While this first scout hole did not exit the intrusive or enter the carbonate sequence, future holes in this area will focus on locating the edges of the intrusive body and any associated skarn/CRD mineralization. SUN-002 was a vertical drill hole collared in a diatreme of Cenozoic volcanic rocks.

Assay results from SUN-002. Interval widths are drill lengths as true widths are unknown. The Company has elected to swap out drill rig (LF-160) that was operating in the South Canyon area with a more powerful drill (LF-230).

While the LF-160 drill was strong enough to achieve the target depth in NQ-sized drill rods, it was unable to drill in HQ-sized drill rods beyond 1,100m depth. This could become an issue in the future should drilling encounter significant voids at the Paleozoic carbonate contact, an issue that led to the Company to cut the SUN-001 hole short. Quality Assurance and Quality Control.

Drilling is completed using PQ, HQ and NQ size diamond drill core. The core is logged by experienced geologists engaged by the Company.
