10:51 AM EST - Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd. : Announced a new discovery from the ongoing 130,000-metre Phase II Island Mountain exploration drilling program at the Company's flagship Cariboo Gold Project. Located at a vertical depth of 280 metres below surface, drillhole IM-17-081 intersected a new veining occurrence averaging 23.31 g/t Au over 7.80 metres. This veining occurs in the largely untested area between the former Aurum and Mosquito Creek Mines. Further downhole, at a vertical depth of 400 metres below surface, a second vein set grading 7.43 g/t Au over 2.00 metres was also intersected. Because of the lack of drilling at this depth, these two occurrences are open for expansion. Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd.
